How does the puck enter the game

There is a small hole at the top, by the score where you drop it. It's not like the old game.

The puck is manually dropped into play through a circular slot at the top center of the bubble cover, just next to the scoring apparatus.
492690
There is a small hole at the top of the dome adjacent to the score board. You just drop it through the hole to begin play.
492691
As mentioned by the other people, you drop it in from the top. With some practice you can drop it in straight at one of the goals. As a result, next time we'll spring for the table where it comes up through the ice.

There is a small hole about the size of a quarter in the dome just to the side of the scoring unit attached to the top of the dome. You physically drop the puck. When you score the puck drops into a tray on one of the ends and the electronic scoreboard changes and plays a musical tune.

I doubt it'd handle real pucks. It's not an ice hockey net. I'd say the 'green biscuit' street hockey pucks might even be too heavy. We're using the lighter orange plastic pucks and street hockey balls.

You move the ball to the target latch. This opens the door to get the money you put in it

Don't know the exact diameter but yes, normal size and works fine. You will not have any issues with the puck size.

Everyone seems to have house rules. Ours are as follows:1) Scoring - Bottom tube 3 points, middle 2 points, top 1 point.2) only one team can score, so the team with highest value subtracts scoring from other team3) Game goes to 214) must win by 25) Each team shoots all three during a turn6) Team that last scored shoots first7) If bounced and it lands on bar, that counts as 58) we place ours 25 feet apart

The instructions indicate that the puck will be wet as a result of the high pressure, and to get a drier puck, leave in while using the steam wand feature. I found this to be true. During the brew process, for double shot filter, I count to 23, and for single shots I count to 12 and have been getting consistently good shots with nice crema.

depending on how wide the stairs are & if both people use common sense! I've moved mines twice! I've also did a few modification to make it work better! 1). made a rubber ring to seat around the fan motor to allow more air to the table! 2). apply Armor All to the puck & table, leaving the surface more slick, now my games are better!

I haven't tried to find alternate pucks but if you have a chop shop you could buy a short piece of a certain diameter dowel rod and cut a chunk off and paint it black. It would still obviously roll when it's on edge but you could buy maybe 1 inch diameter or 3/4 inch and don't sand the corners to be rounded. Just a thought.

My puck works fine win OpenCPN, an opensource, free, navigation software. All that was needed was to configure the software for the connection point the system created for the puck. Mine was COM1. Sometimes it goes to COM2. YMMV.

Such a fun game--There are several cards in the tin. You put one card face up on the table and deal the rest of the cards to the players. Each card has about 8 symbols relating to hockey. It is a speed game. Each player turns over their card and the first person to match a symbol on the card then puts his card down to find a match and it continues until someone runs out of cards and he is the winner. We have played this over and over --so fun -- you don't even have to be a hockey fan to play--you just have to match symbols.

It's a little wax puck. Very safe because it extinguishes itself after a couple minutes.

IT levels out pretty quickly when the stick returns to the center position. There is some momentum that keeps it flying forward briefly.

There are lots of hockey items that you have to "spot" like pucks, sticks, referees, skates etc... So it's not just matching the logos of the teams (although those are some of the matches too). Hope that helps!

If you use the automatic feeder you need to use the pucks, you can also use the chips aswell if you wish!

There is not a card that brings you out from start. You chose a player to go first and then go clockwise. Some families do a coin toss to see who goes first. We just start and move forward.

My son and I use it for shooting hockey pucks. As I stated in my review, I mistakenly purchased the backstop without the actual goal itself. Once I had both portions and connected them, the goal is very effective.

The pucks are 3" hence the 3" body lift. Don't remember how many inc.uded but I had two extra.
