Abstract
A portable game accessory to a billiard-type table with enclosing rails and a playing surface for playing a special game comprising a planar overlay which carries special game target indicia. The overlay has beveled edges which are sufficiently thin to enable a billiard ball to roll onto the upper surface of the overlay without significant deflection of the billiard ball. This accessory has for holding the overlay in a preselected one of a plurality of different possible positions relative to the enclosing rails on the playing surface against movement in response to the billiard ball rolling onto the upper surface.

A portable game accessory to a standard billiard table with enclosing rails and a playing surface for playing a special game, comprising:
- a planar overlay having upper and lower planar surface and an area less than that of the playing surface carrying special game target indicia of geometric shape defining an area on at least one of said planar surface of the planar overlay in which a billiard ball is intended to land in the area for purposes of scoring in the game and in which the area is visible from the upper surface of the overlay said overlay having beveled edges which enable a billiard ball to roll up onto the upper surface of the overlay from the playing surface without significant deflection of a billiard ball;
- and
- means for holding the overlay in a preselected one of a plurality of different positions relative to the enclosing rails on the playing surface against movement in response to a billiard ball rolling onto the upper surface.
