An accessory for a toy or game, the accessory comprising:
- a base having a peripheral housing establishing a vertical axis of the base;
- a plug rotatably attached to the base and providing for three degrees of rotational freedom relative to the base;
- a rebounding surface having a center and configured for rebounding a falling object;
- and
- a frame holding the rebounding surface and fixedly attached to the plug;
- wherein:
- when the rebounding surface is horizontally oriented in an upward facing orientation generally perpendicular to the vertical axis of the base:
- the center of the rebounding surface is horizontally offset from a vertical axis of the plug, the vertical axis of the plug extending generally parallel to the vertical axis of the base;
- and
- the rebounding surface can be rotated 360 degrees around the vertical axis of the plug;
- and
- when the rebounding surface is aligned above the plug such that the center of the rebounding surface is positioned along the vertical axis of the plug:
- the rebounding surface is oriented at an angle to the vertical axis of the plug;
- and
- the rebounding surface can be rotated 360 degrees around the vertical axis of the plug.
