Abstract
A cross-shaped gameboard has four arms extending radially from a central area and equiangularly spaced by 90.degree. from each other. The arms are of equal dimensions. A pocket is provided in each of the arms in the area of the end thereof farthest from the central area. Each of the pockets is adapted to accommodate a marble. A plurality of channels are formed in each of the arms and extend radially from the pocket in each of the arms. Rails extend along the edges of the arms to retain marbles on the arms. A plurality of marbles are provided. At the center of the gameboard, the marble are arranged in a square pattern such that when an additional marble is held at a height above the gameboard and dropped to a central area among the marbles, the marbles will be struck by the dropped marble and displaced thereby. The object of the game is to attempt to displace the marbles from the center of the gameboard and cause each to roll along an arm and fall into a pocket at the end of an arm. Each struck marble has a different color and each pocket has a color corresponding to a marble.
