Abstract
A shooter board game includes a board member having an upper planar surface, a pair of upright sides, and one upright end, wherein a target area is disposed on the upper surface adjacent the one upright end thereof. A shooter assembly is positioned off of the board member at the other end thereof, wherein one of a plurality of playing pieces is shot from the shooter assembly at the target area. The shooter assembly is allignable with the marginal edge of the board adjacent the other end to increase the accuracy of aiming the playing pieces. A pair of scoring tracks are included for monitoring the progress of the game by each player.
Claims4
A shooter board game, which comprises:
- a. a board member having an upper planar playing surface, a pair of sides, and a pair of ends, and flange members secured to said pair of sides and one of said pair of ends extending upwardly from said planar surface, the other side of said pair of ends extending along a straight line;
- b. a target area disposed on said upper surface of said board member adjacent said one end thereof;
- c. a shooter assembly selectively positionable away from touching engagement with said board member and in touching engagement with said board member at said other of said pair of ends, said shooter assembly including a cross-shaped element, said cross-shaped element having a first elongated arm, a second elongated arm, said second arm joined to a lower surface of said first arm, said first arm having a straight marginal edge, a block member slidably disposed on said first arm, wherein said one of said playing pieces is projectable intermediate said flange members disposed at said pair of sides of said planar surface and towards a portion of said flange members disposed at said one of said pair of ends of said planar surface where said straight marginal edge is selectively located adjacent to said other of said pairs of ends, and a V-shaped element disposed on a surface of said block member, said one of said playing pieces being disposed within said V-shaped element, and a first elastic band member communicating between one said block and one end of said second arm, and a second elastic bank member communicating between said block and another end of said second arm, and a pair of stop members extending upwardly from said second arm, said pair of stop members being aligned parallel to said straight edge, said stop members engaging said elastic bands thereby restricting forward motion of said block member;
- d. two sets of a plurality of disc shaped playing pieces, one of said playing pieces at a time removably received onto said shooter assembly to be forwarded projected across said upper surface towards said target area;
- e. two scoring tracks, each said track including an elongated bar member having a plurality of longitudinally aligned apertures disposed in its upper surface, said apertures being numbered from a minus numerical indicia at one end to a positive numerical indicia at another end of said bar each of said two scoring tracks located at said flange members disposed at said pair of sides of said planar surface;
- f. four first colored pegs, two of set pegs removably received in said end apertures of each said track;
- and
- g. two second colored pegs, one of said second pegs removably received in said apertures of each of said bars between said first colored pegs.
