This invention relates to games andmore particularly to game boards of the type with I which playing pieces are movable about the surface of the game board and controlled by A primary'object of the invention is to resiliently support theboardso that a player by altering the position of the board from thehorizontal may determine the course of Another object of the invention is to so construct such a board that the successful operation of the game'will be dependent upon the skill ra'ther'than upon the superior strength of the players. I
In carrying outthese objectsythe invention is susceptible of a wide range of modification without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the claimed invention; there being shown in the drawings for illustrative purposes a preferred and practical form, in which:
Figure 1 is'a top plan view of agame board constructed in accordance with this inven- Fig. 2 is a transverse'section thereof;

a portion of which projects above the top of the board and a portion below' The projecting portion or skirt 3 which extends below the board operates as a stop for limiting the compressing or tilting movement of the board 0 in a manner presently to be described. 7
I The board lis supported by a plurality of compressible feet 4, six of which are here shown arranged adjacent the periphery of the board and circumferentially spaced in relat-ion to each other. These feet 4 asshown 1931'. Serial No. 538,830.

This mounting of the board on the feet located adjacent the periphery 50 provides for altering the horizontalposition of the board by downward pressure exerted at points along the rim, the board returning to normal position after the pressure has been removed. The game board here shown is I designed to be used 'iniconnection with checker-like men 5 and 6 which are of different colors and each player has the same.
number of men which are placed in the same T relative position onthe board as his opponent.
After the men have been'set on the board the ball 7 which is preferably about .fiveeighths of aninch and'pref-erably made of steel is set in the centerof the board or given a throw around the rim of the board to place it in play. Any player may then at any time press'down upon anypart of his portion of the board rim thereby changing rapidly the point of pressure and causing theball to strike his opponents men. The first player to count out loud a set number of strikes,
for instance, 15, wins that game. Any sucthat the features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art,'and it will, of course, hev understood that changes in'the form, proporbe resorted to, without departing from the spirit of the invention or its scope as claimed".
