ABSTRACT:
A game in which a ball is thrown or bounced onto a horizontal game board from an adjacent bouncing surface such as a table, most of a target portion of the game board surface being covered with raised ball-deflecting projections in a grid pattern, the remainder of the target portion consisting of ball-retaining depressions defined by the projections and approximating the size of the ball. The ball is preferably a ping-pong type ball that reacts with the game board in a manner making it extremely difficult to place the ball in a particular scoring depression on the first bounce.
