Abstract: A game table for table hockey has a planar playing surface bounded by walls, wherein the inner sides of the walls are lined with a layer comprising material having satisfactory sound deadening properties and being resilient enough to provide satisfactory rebound of an object when said object strikes the layer. The layer is composed of material selected from polyur ethane polymers having a durometer reading of 78.+-.5% on the Shore D Scale or natural or synthetic rubbers having a durometer reading of 40.+-.10% on the Shore A Scale.
