Abstract
A game apparatus having a pair of tiltable platforms mounted upon a base with a stationary goal section positioned between the two platforms. A tortuous path or maze is provided in the surface of each of the platforms along which a ball may roll. Players stand upon the platform and manipulate the same by shifting their weight to cause the ball to traverse the maze and at the conclusion of the maze to enter the goal section, If desired, four platforms may be provided disposed at 90.degree. displaced positions around the goal sections thereby allowing up to four players to simultaneously play the game.
Claims11
A game apparatus for use by at least two players simultaneously comprising:
- a. a base member;
- b. first and second platforms pivotally engaging said base member in spaced apart relationship thereon, each of said platforms defining a tortuous path through which a ball may travel;
- and
- c. a ball receiving member fixedly mounted upon said base between said platforms and defining first and second openings therein, said first opening aligning with the tortuous path in said first platform and the second opening aligning with the tortuous path in said second platform, the lowermost part of said first opening and the surface of said tortuous path in said first platform are aligned only when said first platform is in a predetermined tilted position and the lowermost part of said second opening and the surface of said tortuous path in said second platform are aligned only when said second platform is in a predetermined tilted position.
