ABSTRACT:
Game apparatus is provided having a playing board with a series of alleys extending between two opposing players at opposite ends of the board. The alleys are defined by pairs of ball-guiding rails on the board. Ball projectors are provided at each end of each of the alleys and vision-obstructing dividers having openings therein for the alleys are disposed across the alleys so that each player can shoot balls into selected alleys of the opposing player and the opposing player will not know which alleys have been selected until the balls actually pass through the divider. Each player has ball diverters for his section of each alley to divert balls propelled toward him by the opposing player to a dead ball space and prevent the balls from reaching the end zone of the alley. The ball diverters comprise one or more ball diversion apertures in the board which communicate with a dead ball space beneath the board and which are partially obstructed by a laterally movable rail section controlled by the player and ball diversion gaps in the movable rail section which cooperate with another movable rail to divert the balls to a dead ball space on top of the board between the alleys.
