ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus for play between two opposing teams and including a game board with a cover simulating a playing field, with one goal at each end of the simulated playing field is disclosed. The game board is electrically conducting, and the cover which forms openings over the playing area is electrically insulating. The game apparatus also includes a movable playing piece having an electrically conducting base suitable for making contact with the game board through the openings formed in the cover. The electrically conducting base includes a spring coiled around a marker and extending beyond the tip of the marker when uncompressed. The electrically conducting base is electrically connected to a power supply and an electrically operable alarm device so that the alarm device is operated when the base of the playing piece touches the game board, but not when the base touches the cover without touching the game board. A chance number selector is included for determining an initial position of the playing piece on the simulated playing field. In one arrangement, a blindfold is included for covering the eyes of the player moving the playing piece, and a marker suitable for marking on the cover is associated with the playing piece so that the route followed by the playing piece is marked on the cover. In one arrangement, the cover is detachably removable from the game board so that different covers having different hole patterns representing various degrees of skill can be readily substituted.
