Abstract: A game board with a resilient surface which simulates a miniature basketball court with the usual markings thereon; together with some highly advantageous additional markings, game pieces representing the appropriate number of players on each team, a game piece representing the basketball, a game piece representing the ball handler, or shooter; score indicators, and a cooperating set of game rules; which, together, result in a game requiring considerable skill and generating greatly enhanced and sustained interest on the part of the players of the game as well as that of observers.
