ABSTRACT:
A board game including a base having a path on which playing pieces can be moved from a starting point to a finish point. A number of dunking stations for the playing pieces are located along the path. Each dunking station includes a tiltable platform for dumping a playing piece located thereon into a water container. A water reservoir is supported on a tower located adjacent to the base. A water distributor is positioned between the water reservoir and the water containers. A number of intermediate water containers are located between the reservoir and the distributor. A conduit connects the reservoir, the intermediate water containers and the distributor. A valve controls the flow of water from the top reservoir to the conduit. A first marble track is arranged to discharge a marble into the water distributor. A second downwardly inclined track is also supported on the tower. The first marble is released when water fills one of the intermediate water containers. The second marble is releasably actuated by the first marble rolling down the first track. A valve is opened by the second marble rolling down the second track. The distributor is equipped with a number of water discharge outlets, any one of which is closable by the first marble seating in the outlet.
