ABSTRACT:
A table top board game including a game board having a plurality of playing pieces. Each playing piece is formed of a soft moldable easily deformable material in the shape of an upstanding figurine. A mold is provided for molding new playing pieces and repairing playing pieces which have been deformed during the course of the game. A path of travel for the playing pieces is depicted on the game board. This path of travel includes a series of discrete stations each of which is spaced apart a sufficient distance from another station so that a station can receive one of the playing pieces without that playing piece interfering with another playing piece positioned on an adjacent station. The playing piece cutting mechanism includes a scissors-like mechanism having a pair of blades one of the blades being movable relative to the other blade by a link which is driven by the crank operated mechanism. The twisting mechanism includes a clothes pin-like playing piece grasping mechanism to hold one end of a playing piece and a wrench-like mechanism to engage the opposite end of a playing piece and to twist it relative to the end held fixed. The crushing mechanism includes a boot-like mechanism which is reciprocated up and down on the top of a playing piece and the flattening mechanism includes a grooved roller which runs over a playing piece from head to toe.
