Convertible pool table game apparatus

Abstract

A billiard game and apparatus are disclosed for playing a simulated game of hockey, soccer, lacrosse, or the like, characterized by the provision of a horizontal planar playing surface bearing indicia representing the playing field of the game to be played, together with side boards arranged at the periphery of the planar surface for defining an enclosed playing area, and goals for receiving one of a number of billiard-type balls resting on the planar surface. The planar surface comprises the playing surface of a standard pool table upon which is removably laid a cover of cloth or the like which is held in place by the side boards which are removably mounted on the pool table adjacent the side rails thereof. The side boards means consist of linear side and end sections, and curved corner sections, the sections being of sufficient width to cover the pockets of the pool table. Attached to each of the end sections of the side boards are goals including a goal member supported by a support member. Visual and/or audible indicating devices may be provided for indicating the entry of a ball into either of the goals.
