ABSTRACT:
A toppling game apparatus having a plurality of connectable toppling units is disclosed. The toppling units each contain a toppling member attached to a base member in a manner permitting pivotal rotation of the toppling member. The axis of pivotal rotation is spaced laterally from the toppling member. Each toppling member also has a system to control the weight distribution of the toppling member. The system consists of a weight member fixed at a desired position within the toppling member, or a movable weight member slidably adjustable along the toppling member. By controlling weight distribution, in combination with the laterally spaced pivotal rotation system, the toppling rate of the toppling member can be increased, decreased or stopped when desired. The toppling units are connectable to each other to form the game apparatus. In operation, each of the toppling members is placed in a vertical position. When one of the toppling members is toppled, it will strike an adjacent member causing it to fall in a similar manner, thereby creating a toppling chain reaction.
