ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus and method are disclosed which utilize a game apparatus with a target area having an upper face with an aperture passing therethough. Bumps are disposed on the upper face of the target area, and a lip is disposed about an outer edge of the target area, extending above the upper face. The lip has slots extending downward from its upper edge. A base supports the target area above a playing surface. Irregularly shaped balls, such as balls in the shape of one-half of a sphere or three-forths of a sphere, may be used. The irregularly shaped ball is held such that, when the ball is propelled toward the playing surface with substantially no horizontal force, the ball nonetheless bounces towed the target area. A base retains balls that are bounced through the aperture in the target area, and vents in the base provide a view of the balls contained therein and provides for savings in material costs.
