ABSTRACT:
A round-about game is designed for players to attempt to grab pegs from a playing surface when the pegs are randomly and selectively raised relative to the playing surface for a short period of time. The game includes a housing, the upper part of which defines the playing surface having a plurality of sets of recesses, each set of recesses being disposed at a different distance from a central vertical axis of the housing. Each of the recesses is adapted to receive one of the pegs such that the pegs are not readily removed from the playing surface. A rotatable platform is rotated below the playing surface about the central axis of the housing and has cams disposed thereon to engage the removable pegs resulting in the pegs being raised above the playing surface. The rotation of a starter button extending from the top center of the playing surface energizes a windup motor through a ratchet mechanism so that the platform is maintained stationary. The depression of the starter button initiates play of the game with the rotatable platform being rotated approximately 360.degree. by the windup motor through the ratchet mechanism.
