Abstract: An arcade game gamepiece directing mechanism facilitates a player in guiding a gamepiece in a desired direction over a playing surface. The gamepiece directing mechanism includes a rigid portion and a flexible portion connected to each other. The rigid portion receives inputs from the player and translates them to the flexible portion. When a gamepiece is received by the rigid portion and passed through the flexible portion, the combined motion of the rigid portion and flexible portion causes the gamepiece to travel in a particular direction over the playing surface. The rigid portion can be pivotally to the arcade game, while a distal end of the flexible portion can be restricted by an end restriction that restricts one, two, or three degrees of freedom of the distal end. The end restriction can also be movable relative to the playing surface.

The disk playing piece may be a coin, token or specially formed disk having a circular edge that permits it to undergo spinning movement about a vertical axis as it is projected across the playing surface. Spinning motion and linear projection of the disk are produced by manually thumping the disk while it is held upright. If a prefabricated playing board is not available, any movable objects such as slips of paper can be used as targets. Multiple targets are grouped in separate rows and the rows are spaced apart to permit a spinning disk to be projected along a target path lying between adjacent targets of one row to a designated target lying in another row.

Abstract: Disclosed is a board game for two players that includes a flat, smooth playing surface (10), a round puck (16), two round bats (15 and 15') and two goals (17 and 17'). A rail (12) borders the playing surface to keep the puck on the playing surface. The aim of each player is to strike the puck with a bat into the opponent's goal, while blocking the puck from entering his/her own goal. The extremely light weight puck, which has a diameter of 64 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, has the shape of an extremely shallow, inverted cone with the side (18) having an angle of 0.3 degree. When the puck is struck by a bat, air rushing against the underside of the cone-shaped puck lifts the puck completely off the playing surface, such that the puck glides on a thin cushion of air. Because the puck travels across the playing surface without friction against the surface, the puck can maintain very high speeds to greatly challenge the dexterity and reaction of the players as they try to strike or block the fast moving puck.
