ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus includes a cross shaped base having a plurality of radially directed legs and an operable player actuated capturing element at the end of each leg, each of which is designed to appear as a frog. A rotatable arm is mounted at the center of the base and includes, at its free end, a connector for releasably mounting one of a plurality of playing pieces, which are designed to appear as bees. A timing gear arrangement on the underside of the base rotates the arm as a crank arm is manually rotated by one of the players of the game. Each of the player operated capturing elements includes a hollow body portion and a pivoted top between which the playing pieces move, one at a time, as the arm is manually rotated. The other players of the game attempt to capture a playing piece by knocking the piece from the end of the rotatable arm into the body by pivoting the cover downwardly. In addition, a chance device, including a spinner and numerical indicator is concentrically mounted on the center of the base.
