Abstract
A horse game apparatus includes a game board formed with spaced game path spaces initiating a race from a first end to a second end of the game board, wherein a predetermined number of tokens are associated with a predetermined number of dice and to include wagering tokens, as well as run-off tokens, whereupon a roll of the predetermined number of dice permits movement of a token, with each token designated an indicia number of the dice, wherein each dice includes indicia including each number such as the numbers 1-6 of a conventional die member.
Claims1
A horse race game apparatus, comprising,
- a game board, the game board including a first end wall, a second end wall, a first side wall, and a second side wall defining a generally rectilinear configuration, with a starting row space arranged contiguously along the first end wall on a top surface of the game board, with an ending row space arranged contiguously with the second end wall on the top surface of the game board, and
- spaced parallel game path spaces directed between the starting row space and the ending row space, and
- a predetermined number of dice members, and
- a dice cup arranged for reception of the dice members, and
- a plurality of tokens equal to the predetermined number, and
- a plurality of wagering discs, and
- each of the tokens afforded a number from one to the predetermined number, and each dice member including a digital representation on the dice member from one to the predetermined number, whereupon directing of the dice members from the dice cup, the tokens are moved forwardly when a dice member indicates a digital representation in association with a token, and the starting row space is demarcated into a plurality of starting spaces equal to the predetermined number, and wherein the starting row space includes a starting space first starting side wall contiguously joined to the first side wall coextensive with the starting row space oriented orthogonally relative to the game board top surface, and a second starting side wall parallel to the first starting side wall arranged contiguously with the second side wall coextensive with the starting row space, wherein the first starting side wall and the second starting side wall are of a predetermined height, and the starting row space includes a plurality of intermediate side walls orthogonally oriented to the game board top surface between the first starting side wall and the second starting side wall and parallel to the first starting side wall and the second starting side wall coextensive therewith to define the plurality of starting spaces in the starting row space, and
- a support axle pivotally mounted parallel to the game board top surface mounted orthogonally to the first starting side wall and the second starting side wall and positioned above an intersection defined by the starting row space and an adjacent game path space of said plurality of game path spaces, and a starting axle lever fixedly mounted to a first distal end of the support axle, the starting lever positioned adjacent to and exteriorly of the first starting side wall, wherein the starting axle lever includes a lever lower peg mounted adjacent a lower distal end of the support axle lever, and the first starting side wall includes a plurality of first starting side wall pegs, and each of the first starting side wall pegs is positioned at varying positions relative to the support axle, and a spring mounted between the lever lower peg and one of the plurality of first starting side wall pegs, and
- a plurality of axle plates, each axle plate mounted orthogonally relative to the starting axle and extending over a starting space of said plurality of starting spaces, and each axle plate defined by a predetermined height equal to the predetermined height of the first starting side wall and the second starting side wall, and each axle plate including a plate rod orthogonally mounted to said axle plate and wherein each wagering disc includes a wagering disc bore directed therethrough permitting each wagering disc to be positioned onto one of said axle plate rods.
