ABSTRACT:
An amusement device is provided, including a square base having a path formed thereon made substantially of movable projections, each projection including a plurality of plateaus; a first, small figure resembling a human or animal which is manually movable about the path; a plurality of loose members resembling eggs or rocks capable of being temporarily received by the first, small figure; a second, larger figure resembling a dinosaur fixedly attached to the base and having a movable mouth; and an operating mechanism including a push button and being connected between the movable projections and the mouth of the second, large figure for moving the movable projections and the second figure's mouth, when the push button is pushed. When a first figure is located on a projection that is moving while supporting a loose member, the first figure and/or the loose member may be caused to fall off of the projection. Such a result causes a player to return the first figure to the start and to return the loose member to an area near the second figure. The object of the game then is to complete at least one lap around the path with a first figure while the first figure is receiving a loose member.
