hat I claim is:
1. In a game, the combination of an inclined board having a runway thereon, a vehicle adaptedto travel up and down said runway, a flexible arm projecting laterally from said vehicle, a plurality of pins arranged on said board substantially parallel with said runway and to one side thereof, each of said pins in turn being adapted to flex said arm rearwardlyfias the vehicle travels up said runway, means on said ve hicle for preventing said arm being forwardly flexed by said pins so that said vehicle may travel in a downward direction, means for moving said pins clear of said arm so that said vehicle is free to travel downwards, and means for exer'ing sudden upward pressure on said vehicle.
2. In a game, the combination of an inclined board having a runway thereon. a vehicle adapted to travel up and down said runway, a flexible arm projecting laterally from said vehicle, a plurality of pins arranged on said board substantially parallel with said runway and'to one side thereof, each of said pins in turn being adapted to flex said arm rearwardly as the vehicle travels upwards, a rigid member on said vehicle in front of said arm for preventing the latter flexing forwardly and passing said pins in a downward direction, means for moving said pins clear of said arm so that the vehicle is free to travel downwards, and spring means for exerting sudden upward pressure on said vehicle.
