ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for playing a game using a ball as a player piece movable over the upper surface of a gameboard having side and end walls. The ball is propelled over the gameboard surface by a paddle or a striking member which is hand-held and has a hole through it for sighting the ball before the ball is struck. The gameboard has a plurality of spaced pins projecting upwardly from the upper surface thereof to present obstacles which can be struck with a ball as it is propelled forwardly. A pair of goals are at opposite ends of the gameboard, the goals being defined by wickets. Preferably, the ball is of metal and each goal has a magnet behind the corresponding wicket to attract the ball after it enters the wicket. A layer of fabric material covers the upper surface of the gameboard and the inwardly facing surfaces of the side and end walls. The material has a pile or fuzziness which allows uniform movement of the ball over the gameboard surface without the need for leveling the gameboard.
