ABSTRACT:
A new and improved game board for use in the playing of a traditional board game of India known as CAROM. The improvements of the present invention relate primarily to a spring biased, rotatable pocket system (FIGS. 1-3) for facilitating removal of the game pieces, as well as a concealed and compact, locking and spring biased storage compartment (FIGS. 4-6). The pocket system of the preferred embodiment of the invention comprises four independent, corner pockets, each having a locking bias to facilitate the positioning of each pocket in a position for catching game pieces falling into the pocket area, or in a position exterior to the board, for removal of the pieces for continued play or storage. The storage compartment provides an improved system for maintaining the many game pieces used in playing the game, while not in use. The compartment of the preferred embodiment comprises a slotted, biased drawer arrangement with a locking mechanism, the drawer being configured to be positioned flush with the underside of the game board while in the closed position, while in a released, opened mode positioned to be easily removed from the underside of the game board.
