ABSTRACT:
An artificial grass mat is employed with glass marbles or small plastic balls for playing standard marbles, modified pool or table croquet. In all cases, the marbles or balls are propelled by knuckle or finger action without the use of mallets or cue sticks. Croquet wickets and goal posts are fabricated from readily bendable pipe cleaners and are anchored to plastic mounting plates which lie beneath the playing mat. The wickets and posts are received removably through slits and openings in the grass mat enabling the mat to be used selectively for at least three different forms of games. A safe rack formed of flexible plastic is employed for racking marbles or balls in the pool game. A perimeter netting on a supporting board or table structure confines marbles or balls to a shallow trough or gutter area surrounding the playing mat.
