ABSTRACT:
A board game is provided to have a board defining a plurality of pockets symmetrically situated around a periphery of the board and a plurality of depressions for accepting movable game pieces. A rotating shaft of an electric motor is positioned in the center of the board, the electric motor being powered by a battery and controlled by a switch. An outwardly extending arm is attached to rotate with the shaft. A horse figure is permanently attached to the rotating arm, the horse figure being configured to pass over the plurality of pockets. Atop the horse figure is positioned a cowboy figure separate from and removably connected to the horse figure. A plurality of bumps and ridges are positioned between the plurality of pockets and a center of the board for jostling contact with the arm and the connected horse figure and cowboy figure, causing random or semirandom detachment of the cowboy figure from the horse figure, with the cowboy figure falling into one of the plurality of pockets to determine movement of game pieces.
