ABSTRACT:
A skill-type game device is provided for use in combination with a board game or the like to introduce a significant element of manual skill into a game which may otherwise be mostly a chance game. The skill device includes an undulated track along which a roller, such as a ball, can be propelled by a player. The track has a number of alternate hills and valleys along the length thereof and each of the valleys is awarded a different score, the player being awarded the score of the valley in which his ball comes to rest. The board game is provided for play by a plurality of players and in which the undulated track is mounted on a supporting game board. A stack of play directing cards is provided from which each player, in his turn, selects the top card. The card directs the player whether to use the skill device or take some other action such as collecting money from a bank or selecting other reward cards provided in the game. In the specific game described, the objective is to obtain movie award certificates designated as awards for performance in various areas of the movie industry.
