Balloon bursting game

A game, comprising

• a container of substantially rectangular parallelepiped configuration having a bottom, a first pair of spaced substantially parallel sides substantially perpendicular to the bottom and a second pair of spaced substantially parallel sides substantially perpendicular to the bottom and to the first pair of sides;
• a first partition in the container extending between the sides thereof spaced from and substantially parellel to the bottom and forming a chamber, said first partition having a hole formed therethrough in the area of the center thereof;
• an inflated balloon in the chamber;
• a substantially elastic second partition in the container extending between the sides thereof above the first partition and spaced from and substantially parallel to said first partition;
• a plurality of needles affixed to said second partition and extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom into the hole of said first partition;
• a third partition in the container extending between the sides thereof above said second partition and spaced from and substantially parallel to said second partition, said third partition having a plurality of mutually spaced holes formed therethrough of sufficient diameter to pass marbles;
• and
• a plurality of marbles dropped by players through the holes through the third partition whereby when a sufficient number of marbles rest on said second partition the weight thereof stretches the center area of said partition downward sufficiently to force a needle thereof through the hole through said first partition into said balloon thereby bursting said balloon.
