Abstract: A ball adapted to cling to a textile surface as an incident of being tossed thereagainst. The ball includes a lightweight spherical body having affixed to the external surface thereof a sheet of flexible Velcro fabric. The sheet is provided with a plurality of slits defining therebetween longitudinal strips. Prior to affixation to the spherical body surface, the sheet may have a generally rectangular configuration, with the slits extending parallel to each other and terminating in spaced adjacency to the opposite ends of the sheet. When formed about the spherical body, the slits are spread to have a maximum width about a circumferential portion of the spherical body. The strips are joined at one end by a first end wall extending polygonally about one portion of the spherical body and at the opposite end by a second end wall extending similarly polygonally about a diametrically opposite portion of the spherical body.

Abstract: Apparatus for playing a game, such as a simulated athletic game, or the like, wherein a sheet indicating action taken by a first player is covered by a sheet indicating action taken by an opponent player. The overlying sheet is light-transmissive so that the interrelationship between the two actions taken by the opposing players may subsequently be seen by means of ambient light so as to indicate the results of the joint play action. Interlock structure may be provided to permit a variation in the disposition of one or both of the opponents' play sheets so as to provide a further chance variation in the joint play results.

Abstract: A structure for playing a game including a sheet of material adapted to be retained against a wall surface, and a plurality of darts having forwardly projecting barbs adapted to hook into the front surface of the sheet. The sheet may be suitably marked to define a game playing field, such as for scoring. The darts include a resilient pad for absorbing inertia forces to facilitate retention of the darts on the sheet by the hooking action.

Abstract: A game structure such as for play by several persons on a table testing the skill of the players relative to dropping markers into subjacent receivers. The markers may comprise magnetic elements with control of the movement thereof being effected by the user through the medium of a suitable magnet. The receivers are spaced at different distances from the playing surface so as to require corresponding increase in the skill of the players as a function of the spacing. The game may be provided with suitable scoring means correlated with the degree of skill involved with the different receivers. The game may include a plurality of sets of receivers to permit play by a corresponding plurality of different players.
