ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a game played on an upper tray and scored on a lower tray. The upper tray is supported on gimbals and is manipulated by the player through a single handle to induce a ball to move by gravity along a prescribed path. Numerous holes, large enough to pass the ball, are provided along and adjacent to the path to drop the ball onto the scoring tray if the player fails to keep the ball on the path. The lower tray is inclined to urge the ball to roll to a score determining position. Because the tray is a planar surface free of obstructions, the spin of the ball as it contacts the tray may bias it to one side or the other, affecting the score and introducing a certain element of chance into the game.
