A retractable table football game suitable for standing on ground (So) where there exists a gravitational force, thereby defining high points and low points, the game comprising: - a baby football game unit comprising: - an enclosure presenting substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped having a bottom that is substantially plane and side walls bordering said bottom and being substantially perpendicular thereto; - at least one bar mounted at least rotatably and passing through two opposite side walls, the longitudinal axis of the bar defining a given direction (Di); - a handle secured to one end of said bar, said bar end and the handle being situated outside said enclosure; and - at least one figure secured to the bar in such a manner that it is inside said enclosure; - said game unit being completely contained, in its minimum extent form, in a prismatic volume (Vo) of substantially rectangular cross-section having its generator line substantially perpendicular to the plane of said bottom; - a table top of substantially plane rectangular shape defined between two opposite faces (21, 22) and an edge face connecting together the two opposite faces; - means for securing the bottom of said enclosure to one of the faces of the table top so that the rectangular cross-section of said prismatic volume (Vo) is inscribed completely within the rectangular section of the table top; - a frame defining a substantially rectangular central opening, the section of the opening being not less than the rectangular section of the table top; - stand means; - means for mounting said stand means in co-operation with said frame in such a manner that said frame is situated at a determined distance from the ground (So); and - means for moving the assembly constituted by the table football game unit and the table top so that it can occupy two positions relative to the frame, namely: - a first position in which said table top lies in the opening of the frame and substantially in its plane, the game unit being situated below the table top; and - a second position in which said game unit is situated above the table top. - a baby football game unit comprising: - an enclosure presenting substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped having a bottom that is substantially plane and side walls bordering said bottom and being substantially perpendicular thereto; - at least one bar mounted at least rotatably and passing through two opposite side walls, the longitudinal axis of the bar defining a given direction (Di); - a handle secured to one end of said bar, said bar end and the handle being situated outside said enclosure; and - at least one figure secured to the bar in such a manner that it is inside said enclosure; - an enclosure presenting substantially the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped having a bottom that is substantially plane and side walls bordering said bottom and being substantially perpendicular thereto; - at least one bar mounted at least rotatably and passing through two opposite side walls, the longitudinal axis of the bar defining a given direction (Di); - a handle secured to one end of said bar, said bar end and the handle being situated outside said enclosure; and - at least one figure secured to the bar in such a manner that it is inside said enclosure; - said game unit being completely contained, in its minimum extent form, in a prismatic volume (Vo) of substantially rectangular cross-section having its generator line substantially perpendicular to the plane of said bottom; - a table top of substantially plane rectangular shape defined between two opposite faces (21, 22) and an edge face connecting together the two opposite faces; - means for securing the bottom of said enclosure to one of the faces of the table top so that the rectangular cross-section of said prismatic volume (Vo) is inscribed completely within the rectangular section of the table top; - a frame defining a substantially rectangular central opening, the section of the opening being not less than the rectangular section of the table top; - stand means; - means for mounting said stand means in co-operation with said frame in such a manner that said frame is situated at a determined distance from the ground (So); and - means for moving the assembly constituted by the table football game unit and the table top so that it can occupy two positions relative to the frame, namely: - a first position in which said table top lies in the opening of the frame and substantially in its plane, the game unit being situated below the table top; and - a second position in which said game unit is situated above the table top. - a first position in which said table top lies in the opening of the frame and substantially in its plane, the game unit being situated below the table top; and - a second position in which said game unit is situated above the table top.
