ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for playing a game with a moveable player piece, such as a marble or steel ball, and a game board having a start position and a finish position for the player piece. A maze is mounted on the game board for rotation along the upper surface thereof, the maze including walls which present obstacles for the player piece yet the walls have openings therethrough to permit the player piece to pass through the maze as the player piece is maneuvered toward a finish position on the game board as the game board itself is manually manipulated by tilting it up and down and from side to side. The maze is coupled by a shaft to a mechanical or an electric drive motor mounted below the game board surface and the speed of the motor can be changed to vary the speed of rotation of the maze. The game board has two adjacent recesses for receiving the player piece, one defining the winning location and the other defining a losing location. The object of the game is to manipulate the game board as the maze rotates to cause the player piece to enter the winning recess.
