Description

ABSTRACT:
For use with a self-propelled object, a toy can be formed having a housing with a playing surface located thereon. The playing surface includes a circular depression having a member rotatably mounted in the circular depression and capable of rotating in the circular depression. An element and gear train are associated with the member to rotate the member in response to movement of the element. The member includes a surface which is in alignment with the playing surface such that the self-propelled object can be located on the playing surface and directed toward the member. When the object moves itself onto the member, the member is rotated, allowing the object to move off of the member in a different orientation with respect to the playing surface. A retaining rib is formed on the playing surface adjacent to the periphery of the rotatable member and partially surrounding it to inhibit movement of the object. Scoring depressions deep enough to retain the object are formed in the playing surface. A score board is located on the playing surface for indicating progress of the game.
