Board game apparatus

Abstract

A board game apparatus includes a housing having a playing surface defined thereon. A plurality of spaced playing piece receiving apertures are arranged in a pattern on the playing surface. A playing piece support surface is arranged beneath the playing surface to support one or more playing pieces, sized to pass through the playing piece receiving apertures, within the apertures. A plurality of deflectable elements are arranged on the support surface, aligned beneath certain of the apertures, to allow a playing piece to be pushed through the support surface and the playing surface into the interior of the housing. The playing surface is rotatably mounted on the housing to enable the position of the apertures to be varied with respect to the position of the deflectable elements on the support surface.
