ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus comprises a pair of side rails, a first passageway member having a bottom and a plurality of passageways communicating with the bottom. A second passageway member has a bottom and a plurality of passageways communicating with the bottom. There also is a backstop, the side rails having portions which are mutually engageable with the passageway members and the backstop when the side rails are positioned on a flat surface generally parallel and spaced-apart from each other. The first passageway member, the second passageway member and the backstop are spaced-apart from each other and extend perpendicular to the side rails. There is a plurality of balls, the balls being capable of passing through the passageways of the first and second passageway members when rolled towards the backstop. A number of games are playable by players using the apparatus. The players attempt to roll balls through the passageways of the first passageway member and in some games try to prevent balls from rolling through passageways of the second passageway member. Players peg points by moving markers along spaced apart apertures on the side rails.
