Abstract
A gameboard amusement device for simulating an athletic game, contest or event having a gameboard upon which at least two gameboard contact figures engage in contact as directed by a game player, one for each contact figure, through mechanical means comprising a handle, grasped by the player, which handle houses triggers connected mechanically, through a cylinder and contact figure pedestal, to limbs of each contact figure to effect limb movement upon depression and release of the triggers. Each contact figure carries release means at a position on the contact figure which is vulnerable of contact by an opposing contact figure and, upon such contact, causes the contacted figure to fall backward from an upright position in simulation of defeat. The release means can be adjustable to vary the force and player strength required to effect defeat.
