Desktop Skee-Ball is not only a super fun desktop game, It's the best way to procrastinate. This is the most fun desktop game I've made so far, and it's definitely the coolest looking as well. It's also very aesthetic and can be printed in colors to match your setup. These make great gifts but can also be sold for a profit.

Components you'll need to order. All of these should be on Amazon Prime. These are the exact same components as desktop golf.

1. The Balls: 1/4" Steel Ball Bearings (Amazon)

2. The Magnets: Small Round Magnets (Amazon)

3. The Tube: 3/8" ID, 1/2" OD PVC Clear Vinyl Tubing (Amazon)
