ABSTRACT:
A game which can be played by two or more people wherein an airplane is made to fly in a circular path with random vertical movements, each player attempting to build a tower of blocks in the haphazard path of the diving airplane. Since the maximum vertical height of the airplane path is higher than the maximum height of the tower to be built, it is possible that one or more passes of the tower can be made by the airplane at a height which is above the maximum height to which the tower will be built. However, the player has no way of knowing at what height the plane will be when the pass of his tower is made. The first player to complete his tower to the maximum height will be the winner.
The game is composed of a board of preferably square shape having marked positions at the corners for building of the towers. A base member is positioned in the center of the board above which is mounted a housing for rotary motion about the base member. An airplane is coupled to the housing for circular flight with the rotation of the housing, the airplane being mounted on an arm which is coupled to a cam which is mounted on the housing to provide a variable and random vertical component to the travel path of the arm, thereby causing the airplane to have randomly variable vertical motion during its circular flight path.
