ABSTRACT:
An action board game apparatus includes an inclined game board having openings therein, game pieces mountable on the game board partially through selected ones of the openings and capable of being pushed through the openings upon application of a sufficient predetermined force on an upper portion of each game piece extending above the game board, and a rotary driver movable across the game board. The driver has an elongated shaft and wheels attached to opposite shaft ends. The game board includes parallel linear tracks attached along opposite side edges of the board. The game board openings are arranged in parallel side-by-side rows also extending parallel to the guide tracks. The tracks receive the wheels and permit rolling movement to adapt the driver to move across the game board by itself with its shaft spaced above the game board and passing over upper portions of the game pieces. The driver also has driving elements mounted on the shaft and extending in a radial relation therefrom and disposed in an angularly offset helical relation to one another about and along the shaft such that as the rotary driver moves across the game board the driving elements of the driver are brought into alignment with only certain ones of the openings which are unknown in advance so as to apply the predetermined force on the upper portion of the game pieces mounted through those openings and push the game pieces therethrough.
