Abstract
A game has a portable playing surface (e.g. a mat or a board). The playing surface is marked with or otherwise divided into a series of zones. A strike wheel is provided having a support portion (e.g. an arm) supporting a ball such that the ball can be struck by a club to move the ball in a rotational fashion, and a marker for moving across the playing surface. The “ball” referred to above may not be an actual ball. In some cases it may be a representation of a ball, for example a circular disk attached to the support portion, etc. The game allows for the marker to move from one zone to another zone in a forward direction, in a forward but to the left direction (i.e. a left diagonal), or in a forward but to the right direction (i.e. a right diagonal).
Claims15
A game comprising a portable playing surface, the playing surface marked with or otherwise divided into a series of zones, a strike wheel having a support portion supporting a ball such that the ball can be struck by a club to cause the ball to move in a rotational fashion, and a marker for moving across the playing surface.
A game comprising a portable playing surface, the playing surface marked with or otherwise divided into a series of substantially hexagonal zones, a plurality of strike wheels, each strike wheel having a support portion supporting a ball such that the ball can be struck by a club to cause the ball to move in a rotational fashion and then stop, and a plurality of markers for moving across the playing surface, rules of the game dictating that a player must strike the ball using a club to determine where to move based on where the ball stops after being so struck, and that when a player makes a move a marker associated with that player must be moved from one zone to another zone, the rules further dictating that movement of a player's marker from one zone to another zone is in a forward direction, in a forward but to the left direction, or in a forward but to the right direction.
