Abstract: The present invention relates to a game apparatus for playing a game of chance and entertainment. The game apparatus comprises a plurality of dice-like playing pieces and a container having a top and a bottom. The bottom of the container is formed in a cup shape for use in shaking and casting the playing pieces upon a playing surface. The top of the container has a plurality of recesses, each recess being formed to retain at least one of the playing pieces during play. The top of the container is selectively secured upon the bottom of the container to form a sealed chamber for storing the playing pieces when not playing the game.

Abstract: A game apparatus for playing a lawn game of entertainment comprises a plurality of generally upright targets, a plurality of balls, and a plurality of mallets for striking the balls. In addition, a plurality of boundary stakes are used to establish the boundaries of play on a playing surface. Each target has a base and an elongated upright, with the base being positioned on the playing surface or lawn and the upright formed to be retained slidably in a generally vertical position on an upwardly extending portion of the base. Preferably, each player of the game has three balls and a mallet, which is used for striking the balls to selectively advance each ball across the playing surface and into contact with selected uprights. Each upright is retained slidably on its base to normally be maintained against tipping, but when a ball contacts the upright with sufficient force, the upright tips and slides off of the base onto the playing surface.
