A system and method for playing a game. The table can be electronic or physical. The table has a game surface surrounded by two side rails and two end rails. The two end rails are approximately perpendicular to the two side rails. The table has at least one goal located on the downstream end of the table. The goal has at least one goal slot for receiving a puck which has been thrown. The table also has a scratch guard located upstream of the goal separating said game surface into a shooting zone and a field of play. The field of play is downstream from the shooting zone. A puck is thrown into the goal and scores are tabulated.

A game system and method are provided. A game board has an inclined play surface, one or more score zone delineators on the play surface and an opening formed in the play surface through which a play ball can pass if the play ball rolls over the opening during game play. A player rolls the play ball up the inclined play surface with the objective of causing the play ball to enter a highest score zone and then to roll down the inclined surface and pass through the opening, resulting in the player attaining a number of points associated with the highest score zone that the play ball entered before passing through the opening.
