The 2" ones are fine. Most of mine are 2" which are rated at 100lbs each.
You also want to look at the swivel- it needs to be strong
enough to not bend/fold up under the weight of the game when pushing on
something like carpet. Also, I just use 4 swivel casters- I never bother
with two fixed and two swivel- much easier to position the game.
Mine come from Northern Tool (www.northern-online.com)- the local
store will dicker on price when you buy a bunch ;)
Putting 4 casters on a game is in the $10-15 range.
