ABSTRACT:
A game board for use in a game wherein the board is caused to tilt about a centrally located support by moving playing pieces on the board in game play, the board being composed of a relatively thin high impact styrene plastic material. The board has a horizontal coplanar surface with regularly spaced depressions of uniform cylindrical configuration for receiving the playing pieces. The bottoms of the depressions are coplanar and their areas total slightly more than one-half of the total horizontal surface of the board obtained by measuring its length times its width (less the supporting projections). The depressions extend downwardly substantially below the supporting projections, thus significantly lowering the center of gravity of individual playing pieces received in the depressions. This assists in maintaining the center of the gravity of the board and the playing pieces thereon at approximately the same level as where the projections meet the underlying supporting structure. The depressions are interconnected on the underside by integral ribs and the board is a substantially rigid structure with some but minimal flexibility.
