Beverage game playing table having moving water troughs

Abstract

The subject game table apparatus comprises a generally flat play surface configured for placement between opposing players. The play surface is preferably rectangular in shape and is equipped with at least one water trough set into a channel in the top side of the table. The trough is parallel and proximal to a side edge of the table and near but outside of a generally central play area. The water trough has a drain at one end and a nozzle at the opposite end of the trough, such that liquid will flow from the nozzle end of the trough to the drain end. The trough is configured to collect and rinse thrown play pieces, usually balls, and return such objects to a player located near the drain end of the trough. The trough further has a liquid pump and tubing configured to convey flowing water from the trough drain to the opposite nozzle, for recirculation.
