My invention relates to a design fora pleasure and amusement game-hoard and is fully illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in

In the drawings, 10 represents the game board, provided with vertical projecting flanges on its edges, the flanges on the long edges thereof being straight and having grooves 11 therein on opposite sides of said hoard, thebottom of said grooves 11 being on a level with the top of the board 10. On one of the short ends of said board the flange is curved, and said grooves 11 open toward said curved flange. On the opposite short end of said board the flange is provided on its inner edge with a series of semicircular vertical recesses 12. The edges 13 of the ends of the walls 1+1, which form the inner walls of the 3 5 grooves Ill, are pointed, as shown.

In the center of the width of the gameboard and near its opposite short ends are formed circular openings 15,Figs. 1 and 2, passing through the board 10, and on the under side of said board 10 said openings 15 are 0 provided with an enlarged mouth 16, Fig. 2.
