After a long day working on the local particle accelerator, you and your friends head to the arcade to unwind.
The lights go out for a second, and when they come back, there before you, gleams a foosball table nobody remembers seeing before.
Always game, you insert your coins.
And with a fanfare, Quantum Foosball begins.
Here are the rules: as with normal foosball, the object is to score points by spinning levers with tiny players to sink the ball in your opponent's goal.
Only instead of a standard ball, you'll be playing with a giant electron.
It behaves like a normal electron in all respects, it's just much larger.
Though the rules are simple, gameplay is anything but.
Instead of the familiar laws of Newtonian physics, the movement of the ball is governed by quantum mechanics.
To minimize the influence from photons and air molecules, you'll be playing in a vacuum. In the dark.
