ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a board game for two players that includes a flat, smooth playing surface (10), a round puck (16), two round bats (15 and 15') and two goals (17 and 17'). A rail (12) borders the playing surface to keep the puck on the playing surface. The aim of each player is to strike the puck with a bat into the opponent's goal, while blocking the puck from entering his/her own goal. The extremely light weight puck, which has a diameter of 64 mm and a thickness of 1 mm, has the shape of an extremely shallow, inverted cone with the side (18) having an angle of 0.3 degree. When the puck is struck by a bat, air rushing against the underside of the cone-shaped puck lifts the puck completely off the playing surface, such that the puck glides on a thin cushion of air. Because the puck travels across the playing surface without friction against the surface, the puck can maintain very high speeds to greatly challenge the dexterity and reaction of the players as they try to strike or block the fast moving puck.
