ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus in which die is provided with two stub axles which project out from opposite faces thereof. The game includes a base which has a channel extending thereacross equipped with spaced and parallel ramps on the sides thereof which are inclined downwardly from the ends of the channel towards the center of the base. A vertical slot is provided at the center extending downwardly from the ramps. The die is allowed to roll down one pair of ramps from one end of the channel with the axles of the die engaging the ramps. When the die reaches the center of the channel, its axles fall down the vertical slots, and the die drops to the bottom of the channel coming to rest with one of its faces exposed. Sets of flippers are pivotally mounted along selected sides of the base for individual movement by different players from outer positions to inner positions. When any flipper is in its inner position, its distal end covers the exposed face of the die. The ends of each of the flippers of each set have indicia thereon corresponding to the indicia on the die. The object of the game is for a player to be the first to cover the exposed face of the die, after the die has come to rest at the center of the channel, with the flipper of his set which has the correct indicia with respect to the indicia on the exposed face of the die.
