ABSTRACT:
The invention in a preferred embodiment contemplates a table-top game container construction comprising a generally rectangular-prismatic body frame of four outer walls of relatively shallow vertical height compared to the length and width dimensions of the container. Two spaced inner walls extend for the width dimension parallel to each other and to the respective longitudinal limits of the frame walls. The inner walls divide the length dimension into a central game-board supporting area in the space between the inner walls, and into separate game-piece compartments at each of the longitudinal ends of the body frame. A separate closure panel is provided for each of the game-piece compartments, and each closure panel is selectively operable to open and close its game-piece compartment for access via the general plane of the playing surface of the game board and to one side of the playing surface. Articulated collapsible leg structure connected to the underside of the container enables the structure selectively to provide a horizontal game-table surface, or, when in collapsed condition to enable vertically oriented storage wherein the game-piece compartments are gravitationally retained in closed condition.
