Publication number: 20240245982Abstract: A game assembly having a fluid pouch with a flexible front panel that is bonded to a rear panel in selected areas. The bonding acts to define an enlarged play area, at least one pump bulb, and at least one fluid passage. The fluid pouch is filled with a liquid medium and game pieces. A housing covers the flexible front panel of the fluid packet leaving at least part of the enlarged play area and at least one pump bulb exposed. Each pump bulb creates a flow jet in the fluid medium when compressed. The flow jet causes the game pieces to move within the liquid medium. The game pieces interact with stationary features to obtain points or to show gameplay skill. The flexible front panel is transparent and is flexible enough to readily deform when manually touched. Accordingly, when touched, the enlarged play area is selectively altered.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2024Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Kevin Williams, Steven Edward Walterscheid
