  • Patent number: 4285519
    Abstract: A guide-ball game for card playing where a broad flat, hard, smooth surfaced table with a separate unit, gallery type card-rack for a table divider mounted on top and center of the table--the card-rack is attached to the table top by metal clamps on each end of the card-rack that screw lock on to the sides of the table--the card rack holds a series of playing cards in a specific number of horizontal rows and vertical ties. The playing cards all have magnetized metallic edges--set in the card-rack--each held upright in separate compartments by magnetized metallic stripping, so that upon impact by the guide-ball in play, the upright card will break away from magnetic contact and free fall to the table surface. End shields are provided at the card rack extremes to help keep the ball in play.
