Abstract

Apparatus for playing a game is provided having a number of game pieces (40) and a support structure (1), the support structure having a number of channels (23) and non-return elements (26) located along the channels. The channels (23) are arranged to co-operate with parts (41) of the game pieces (40), such that the game pieces may be guided along the channels in a first direction (28). The non-return elements (26) are located along the channels (23) at non-return positions and are arranged to prevent the movement of the game pieces (40) past the non-return positions only in a direction opposed to the first direction (28).
