Abstract
An elongated playing surface includes: a long axis, a rigid planar cue section at one end, at an opposite end a rigid planar object section rotatable about the long axis, and a mid section twistable about the long axis interconnecting the cue and object sections. The game is played with a cue ball, object balls and cue stick. End and side rails confine the balls atop the playing surface. One end rail, affixed to the object section, defines one or more openings at which are disposed respective ball pockets. The object of the game is to drive the object balls into a pocket by striking them with the cue ball driven by the cue stick. From time to time a mechanism tilts the object section and twists the mid section laterally about the long axis causing balls on said sections to roll according to gravity, making them moving targets.
