Abstract: The game includes a replica of a race course which is divided into a sequence of stations and the players take turns to advance distinctively colored markers or playing pieces along the race course. To determine the number of stations through which a player in his turn advances his marker, the player manually imparts impetus to a metal ball which causes the ball to traverse a straight track that has resilient bumpers at its two opposite ends. The ball recoils from at least one of the bumpers and comes to rest at one of a plurality of sections of the track which indicate the number of stations the player is to advance his marker on the course.
