ABSTRACT:
A battle type game, which is readily constructed, includes simple electric circuitry for actuating signals to indicate hits made. The signals are actuated by completion of an electric circuit due to contact of an electrically conductive piercing portion of a piercing probe member, which may be a bulletin board type tack, with an electrically conductive head portion of a contact member, which may be a substantially flat headed metal thumbtack, representing a target or a part thereof. The invention is preferably made from a kit of components, readily assemblable by a youthful prospective player of the game. Also within the invention is the provision of cover sheets, having grid indicia thereon, for use to cover a corresponding marked sheet on a circuit board, for playing of the game, on which the target members are placed. Employment of a simple paperboard or similar box structure for holding and concealing the contact members and circuitry of the game and for supporting a covering surface member, on which game indicia are present, is a preferred inventive feature.
