ABSTRACT:
A game of manual skill and amusement having a game board including an elevated plate with one or more openings through which an electrically conductive playing piece, such as a probe, is inserted to retrieve one or more objects from a movably mounted table disposed therebelow without contacting the edge of the opening. The plate includes an upper nonconductive facing board and a conductive backing sheet which extends beyond the facing board at the opening edges to form inwardly projecting flanges of electrically conductive material for possible contact with the probe. Contact of the probe with the conductive edge of an opening completes an electrical circuit to move the lower table and energize a signal device. The lower table is in the form of an electric motor driven turntable which is rotated responsive to a player error by touching the probe with the edge of an opening so that the objects on the turntable are repositioned relative to the openings in the upper plate upon each error by a player. The signal device is an audible signal device and indicates that the player has made an error in play. The objects retrieved from the lower surface also are electrically conductive so that their contact with the opening edge also would indicate an error. The probe can be a magnet secured to one end of an electrically conductive flexible chain which connects at one end with a handle portion for gripping by the player. The objects are of magnetic material.
