ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus includes an array of paddle-type display elements rotatably mounted in a housing, with the paddles of the display elements having suitable indicia thereon. The game may be played by actuation of selective display elements in tic-tac-toe fashion, with actuation of the paddle elements being preferably effected by tossing small bags against selective paddles. The array of display elements is arranged in a series of rows and columns in a body structure, with each display element being rotatably mounted about a shaft secured to the body structure. Each display element preferably comprises three radially extending planar portions radiating from a central hub, and an aperture is provided in the hub to which the associated shaft extends. Each aperture defines in cross-section an isosceles triangle. By this arrangement, when a tossed bag hits against any paddle of a display element, the display element is rotated and will come to rest in one of the two equal angles of the aperture in the display element, thereby displaying one of the paddles containing indicia.
