ABSTRACT:
A motor skill game which comprises a game board having a plurality of apertures therein. A plurality of pegs are provided and sized for insertion into the apertures with the number of pegs equal to the number of apertures. Each peg is provided with some form of sequenced indicia, as for example, numerical indicia, on its underside. The pegs are mixed up and randomly inserted in the various apertures. The indicia are presented downwardly and unobservable to the player until the peg is removed from its aperture. A timer is included on the game board and is started by a "start" switch. The player of the game removes one peg at a time from the apertures and returns it face down until he finds the peg with the first indicia in the sequence (e.g. number "one" or letter A); this peg he places in the first position in a peg retaining tray. He then removes pegs one at a time and replaces them face down until he finds the peg with the second indicia in the sequence; this peg he places in the second position in the tray. Thus, he will attempt to place all the pegs in the tray with their indicia in the sequential order. The player will attempt to mentally remember the positions of pegs he has removed from and replaced in apertures so that he can quickly locate them when their place in the sequence is reached. When he has placed all of the pegs in the proper sequence in the tray, he operates a "stop" switch to stop the timer. In the event that the player has not removed all of the pegs from their apertures in the time allocated by the timer, a surprise-action plate located beneath the apertures shifts to permit all of the pegs remaining in apertures to fall within the game board.
