Abstract
A game is provided which combines the elements of chance and coordinative skills. An elevated gaming surface is provided. Cooperatively mounted in the lowest end of the gaming surface is a game piece launcher. The game piece is a marble, steel ball or the like. The launcher includes a spring biased projector and a launch pad which is elevated and helical. On the upward end of the gaming surface are a plurality of annular concentric rings including scoring means for computing the score given to a launched game piece. Covering the gaming surface is a rigid transparent cover having an underside of predetermined configuration for cooperating with a projected ball and thereby guiding the projected ball in relation to the scoring indicia provided on the gaming surface. Tilting of the game surface causes return of the game piece or pieces to the starting position after computation of the score.
