Harvard is a company that has been manufacturing high quality foosball tables for many years and is owned by the Escalade Sports parent company. They have been in business for over 80 years and are the home of the Atomic Foosball table brands, as well as an array of other sports and arcade games and fitness equipment.
Currently, Harvard only produces four different foosball table models (also known as table football and table soccer), but they also have some other family-oriented games including air hockey tables, basketball hoops, and ping pong.
Harvard foosball tables wouldn’t necessarily be seen at any professional tournaments because they are a brand you will find more in the department stores. Conversely, they are not seen as a cheap foosball table, either. However, they make a great gift for children and families for entertainment and recreational purposes, along with fantastic game play of what is known as "the beautiful game".
The four table foosball models that Harvard manufacturers are Rematch, Goal Getter, Black Deca, and Midfielder. The following are reviews of the best Harvard Foosball game tables that are available.
