Competitive action playing game with erratically movable playing piece

摘要

A competitive action playing game with a shiftable ball-type playing piece. The playing game comprises a game board having a pair of oppositely spaced player ends with a frame peripherally surrounding the game board. The game board is provided with a plurality of rows of playing piece receiving recesses. The rows extend from end to end and there are a plurality of the recesses in each of the rows. A plurality of first and second actuating members are located at the respective first and second player ends with each one of the actuating members associated with a particular one of the rows. An individual first playing piece projecting element is located at each recess in each of the rows and like second projecting elements are located at each recess in each of the rows and the projecting elements in any one row are simultaneously operable by the first or second actuating member associated with that row. When the actuating member for a particular row is depressed, the associated projecting elements will extend upwardly in the recesses of that row so as to engage and propel the playing piece toward the opposed player end. The playing piece is an erratically movable ball with an outer shell. An inner element is freely movable within the outer shell to cause erratic movement of the playing piece and also provides additional weight to keep the playing piece in close proximity to the playing surface when it is propelled.
