11. A game table comprising:
a horizontal and planar playing surface having opposing playing ends spaced apart in a length direction having a length dimension to allow players to participate from each of said opposing playing ends, said length dimension greater than a width dimension of said horizontal and planar playing surface;
a pair of V-shaped hole patterns oriented in said length direction, each of said V-shaped hole patterns formed adjacent one of said opposing playing ends, each of said V-shaped hole patterns having a plurality of holes extending through said horizontal and planar playing surface, said plurality of holes decreasing in diameter toward a center-end hole positioned closest to said opposing playing ends wherein each said V-shaped hole patterns are symmetric about a longitudinal centerline in said length direction of said horizontal and planar playing surface;
at least one ball sized smaller than said center-end hole of said plurality of holes;
a gutter formed along and surrounding said horizontal and planar playing surface along longitudinal side edges and back edges adjacent said opposing playing ends; and configured to catch balls that roll off of said horizontal and planar playing surface along each of said longitudinal side edges and along each of said back edges adjacent said opposing playing ends; and
a pair of ball catches, each ball catch of said pair of ball catches disposed below each of said plurality of holes.
