ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus providing a challenge or test of manipulative skills to be performed within a predetermined time period, the length of which may be partially controlled by the operator. The apparatus provides a timed, sequential release of color coded playing pieces which traverse an inclined path of travel to be manually captured by the player of the game. The player attempts to deposit the playing pieces in particular locations in a depository array as dictated by one of a plurality of playing cards including indicia associated with the color coded playing pieces. The depository array includes a plurality of subsets, each of which includes an ejector mechanism, which, upon actuation, ejects the playing pieces deposited within that particular subset. Each particular subset of the depository array is associated with a timing mechanism so that the actuation of the associated ejector mechanism can be successfully delayed by skillful operation of a plurality of delay control devices. The playing piece ejectors of all of the depository array subsets are actuated after the last of a predetermined number of playing pieces have been released. This ejector actuator can be successfully disabled after completion of the array by deactivation of the times as dictated by the rules of the game.
