ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus includes a vertically adjustable template with a plurality of openings in a preselected configuration. A plurality of generally elongated objects may be placed in an upstanding orientation on a supporting surface within the openings defined in the template and upon raising of the template, conveniently using a mechanical cam system, the objects are left standing in approximately spaced chain defined by the template configuration. The game apparatus also includes a starting device for engaging one of the objects, causing it to fall into an adjacent object, thereby initiating a chain reaction of objects falling into adjacent objects in an orderly progression. The game apparatus may also include an assembly with a rolling element engaged by a trip member that is tripped by one of the objects. Once tripped, the trip member engages the rolling member which rolls across a surface to engage another of the objects to continue the chain reaction. A bridge may also be included in the game apparatus and allows a row of objects to pass over another row of objects. The game apparatus may also include a device for signaling the end of the chain reaction. This signaling device may include a trip member, a pivotally mounted flat and a weight that pivots the flag to an upright position upon impact of an object against the trip member.
