ABSTRACT:
A string or cord is tied between two vertical surfaces. A hoop is rolled across the stretched string in an attempt to balance the hoop as it travels from one end of the string to an opposite end of the string. On a peripheral edge of the hoop, a concave groove is formed so as to engage the string as the hoop is rolled across the string. Depending upon the depth and width of the groove, the degree of difficulty in rolling the hoop across the string is varied. In a preferred embodiment, the string is stretched across a game table, so if the hoop falls off of the string or even if the hoop completes its journey across the string, the hoop falls onto an elevated surface from which the hoop may be retrieved. To assist a player in retrieving the hoop, a hooked rod may be used.
