ABSTRACT:
A game which employs a rectangular horizontal board including a plurality of scoring openings formed therein in a particular pattern. Each of the openings are circular and of the same diameter. The diameter of each opening being in exact relation to the diameter of the playing ball. Surrounding each opening is a slightly recessed or depressed area in order to encourage movement of a playing object into contact with that opening. The playing objects will comprise a plurality of balls which are substantially larger in size than the openings. The playing surface is surrounded on three sides by a sidewall and on the fourth side an inclined ramp is located. The ball playing objects are to be moved up over the ramp and onto the playing surface. The ramp is to be reversible so as to facilitate playing of the game of this invention on both a carpeted surface and a hard surface. Additionally, the ramp has two variously disposed kick bars, one on each side, to cause one of the balls, when moved with sufficient velocity over the ramp, to be propelled through the air onto the playing surface. A scoop which is connected to a handle is to be employed to effect movement of the ball across a floor and up over the ramp and onto the playing surface.
