    Hardwood all the way. I have no problem sliding my machines anywhere I want in the house using those cheap carpeted pucks that you can get at Home Depot for $3 a set with no damage to the floor whatsoever. And wood is a lot easier to keep clean.

    Quoted from LesManley:

    Hardwood lets the games slide to easily when playing,

    Not if you use those carpeted pucks that I use. It takes some force before they start to budge.

    Quoted from LesManley:

    scratches easily.

    Really?

    Quoted from LesManley:

    Never liked playing on hardwood floors

    I like my wood floor mostly because it is beautiful 50 year old oak, and I never have a problem with the machines moving until I want them too, but when I do I can move them by myself. And when it comes time to clean it is either a quick sweep with a dust mop, or mop and go with a wet sponge mop. Nothing lives or gathers underneath it like carpet, and it doesn't create it's own dust.

    My oak floor still looks just as nice as it did 50 years ago.

    Quoted from spfxted:

    Everyone I know who has a gameroom with carpet has wear spots after a while

    The only wear spots on my wood floor are under the feet of my bed.
