Abstract: A tabletop game for simulating basketball including a game court supported by a base and bounded by a containment net, designed for head-to-head competition. The game includes a court floor having ball traps configured to retain a game ball. The game further includes a set of keys configured to actuate shooter mechanisms for ejecting the game ball from the ball traps toward one of a pair of hoops that are sized to receive the ball.
