Abstract: A portable game includes a lower table forming a circular playing surface and an edge having a diameter D1, an upper table forming a circular playing surface and an edge having a diameter D2, wherein D1>D2. A vertical support member interconnects the lower and upper tables. Both playing surfaces include an inner circular hub line extending about the center of the respective playing surfaces, and a plurality of radially directed rays formed on the respective playing surfaces. Each ray is circumferentially equally spaced from each immediately adjacent ray, wherein each pair of adjacent rays defines a trapezoidal play segment extending between the edge and hub line. An outer cup positioning marker is centrally formed in each play segment at a common radial distance from the edge, and an inner cup positioning marker is centrally formed in each play segment at a common radial distance from the hub line.

Abstract: A kit for playing a construction/deconstruction game is described, and includes a plurality of flat planar cards and a plurality of v-shaped articulated cards from which a deconstructable structure can be erected. A plurality of spherical objects, such as marbles, adapted to be fired against the structure, is also provided.

Abstract: A game apparatus enabling the use of dexterity and skill while providing chance opportunities consisting of a set of equidistant receivers with established values formatted in rows of a triangular pattern, a ball or balls to enable play, and a launching stunt device for delivering the sphere located a set distance from the formatted receivers. The launcher or projecting device enables the aiming and delivery of the ball to the receivers by the maneuvering of the arm of the device yet maintaining the bowl of the launcher within the area of the designated spot, providing a single player challenge and excitement or several players in competition the added arising of attitude and challenges afforded from chance, use of skills and winning by score.

Abstract: A piece-bouncing game wherein each player seeks to propel a play piece to make it bounce on a playing surface and then travel in a trajectory which causes the piece to land on a flat platform. The player scores a point in the game only if the piece lands and remains on the platform. The game consists of a cylindrical dish having a flat base on which is anchored an array of plugs, the play pieces being mountable on the plugs. Each play piece is formed by a circular collar having a membrane lying across its central plane and provided with a center hole. In the storage mode of the game, in which the play pieces are stored within the dish, each plug is plugged into the center hole of the piece mounted thereon. In the active mode of the game, the pieces are taken off the plugs and the dish is inverted and placed on the playing surface whereby the base of the dish is then raised above the playing surface to serve as the platform.

Abstract: A game comprising a plurality of substantially rigid playing discs each having an upper and lower surface bound by a circumferential ridge which is up-raised with respect to the upper and lower surfaces so as to provide a recess in the upper surface for accommodating therein a corresponding protrusion in the lower surface of an adjacent playing disc placed thereon, the upper surface having a visual image thereon. In use, the playing discs are stacked one top of another and each player is provided with a turn for striking a topmost one of the playing discs towards a periphery thereof so as thereby to upturn a number of the playing discs in the stack, the player claiming for himself those discs whose upper surface is downmost. An object of the game is to maximize the number of upturned playing discs.

Abstract: A substantially planar elliptical gamepiece with one or more indentations provided in the outer perimeter thereof. The position of an indentation is predetermined so that a finger flick, when applied to the indentation, is likely to propel the gamepiece with optimum height, length and accuracy. A substantially planar protector is also disclosed, with a hole provided to receive the gamepiece therein for storage when not in use. When the gamepiece is received into the protector, a substantially continuous common planar surface is formed, suitable for imposing collectable and tradeable images thereon by printing or other means.

Abstract: A basketball-like board game that is played by bouncing tokens off an obstacle impressed surface and into a receptacle having an angled backboard. Included is a token retrieval system to facilitate token collection and counting.

Abstract: A chip flipping game is provided which consists of a plurality of chips that are disk shaped having indicia printed on one side. Each player plays against a Dealer by stacking their chips with a matching amount of chips from the Dealer and tries to flip them over by striking the chips with one chip held between the fingers, so as to win chips which are flipped over from the stacked chips.

Abstract: A simulated football game includes a game board having yard line delineations thereon simulating a football field. The game board has a plurality of areas designated thereon having indicia indicative of the occurrence of a particular play. The game also includes a field goal die, a simulated game ball, a deck of pass cards, a deck of penalty cards, a big play die, and a field goal post means. The game is played by tapping the game ball towards the opposite end of the field. The results of the play are dictated by the area of the game board where the ball comes to rest.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for a game of skill has a bottom member with a plurality of pockets and a top member. The top member has a base with a plurality of openings therein, a sidewall attached to the base and a cover having a central opening attached to the sidewall. A spindle connects the top and bottom members, and the top member is rotatable about the spindle whereby each of the openings is vertically aligned with each of the pockets during each revolution of the top member. A flipper is attached to the base for hurling a projectile into a cup on the top member. Projectiles missing the cup pass through the openings into the plurality of pockets as the top member rotates.

Abstract: A game apparatus adapted to be played by a plurality of individuals incorporating an indicator for determining the order of turns of play of the players. The game apparatus comprehends a predetermined number of playing pieces of generally upwardly opening cup-shape form and of progressively greater height. Each playing piece bearing a number directly proportional to its height and corresponding to a number on the indicator. A tool provided each player for manipulating the playing piece having a number corresponding to that obtained by the player on the indicator for effecting inversion of the particular playing piece and, if successful, being accorded a point value corresponding to that upon the playing piece.

Abstract: A game board comprising a playing surface having indicia thereon defining an oval race track, with toy vehicles adapted to be moved around respective lanes of the track, and additional indicia on the playing surface for advancing vehicle positions, for indicating the number of laps completed by each vehicle, and for determining any of various troubles encountered during the race. Player-actuated wheelies, and means for launching same, cooperate with the indicia on the playing board, to determine the movement forward or backward of each vehicle, generally in response to the degree of skill of the player.
