Abstract
A game apparatus is disclosed that comprises a plurality of tokens including first tokens and second tokens, a frame arranged to define multiple pathways along which the tokens can move under force of gravity, and a retainer arranged to controllably retain the tokens relative to the pathways. The retainer is movable between a first position wherein the retainer retains the tokens relative to the pathways, and a second position wherein the tokens can move under force of gravity. The game apparatus also includes a separating mechanism arranged to direct the first tokens towards a first collection zone and to direct the second tokens towards a second collection zone. The separating mechanism comprises a first separating component associated with each first token and at least one second separating component associated with the frame.

A game apparatus comprising:
- a plurality of tokens including first tokens and second tokens;
- a frame arranged to define multiple pathways along which the tokens are capable of moving under force of gravity;
- a retainer arranged to controllably retain the tokens relative to the pathways, the retainer movable between:
- (a) a first position wherein the retainer retains the tokens relative to the pathways;
- and
- (b) a second position wherein the tokens are allowed to move under force of gravity;
- and
- a separating mechanism arranged to direct the first tokens towards a first collection zone and to direct the second tokens towards a second collection zone, the separating mechanism comprising a first separating component associated with each first token and at least one second separating component associated with the frame,
- wherein when the retainer is in the second position, the first and the at least one second separating components cooperate so as to direct the first tokens away from the second collection zone and towards the first collection zone.
