A table game construction and method of play in which a spinning game piece follows along a curved trajectory, which may be further directed after release, and which interacts with other game pieces through collisions. The game components include a game board, one or more propelled spinning game pieces, and an optional striking object.

A game device is disclosed herein. The game device is a portable simulated soccer game that provides a substantially rectangular rigid planar surface having indicia of a soccer field disposed thereon. Simulated players are arranged on the field by mating with one of an array of apertures. The game device includes a pair of nets to be placed in a location corresponding with the simulated soccer field. A simulated soccer ball is used by a user to score on an opponent's net. A sleeve is provided having optional attachment features that are used to propel the ball. A user decides the arrangement of simulated players on the field with respect to the ball. The game device provides a game where orientation of simulated players impedes the ability to score points.

A desktop elastic launch game device includes a carrying body in the form of a rectangular flat board and having a predetermined height; a wall body higher than the carrying body and circumferentially arranged around a perimeter of the carrying body; a separation board arranged on the carrying body to have two ends mounted to the wall body and being formed, in a bottom portion, with a hollowed portion corresponding to the through holes; a plurality of elastic bodies, each of which has two ends that are mounted to opposite portions of the wall body and arranged adjacent to each of the through holes; and a plurality of plate bodies, which are placeable against each of the elastic bodies so that the plate bodies are selectively launched out toward the hollowed portion by a spring force of the elastic bodies.

A small scale dynamic activity which comprises the use of a method, a hand-operated apparatus, a shooting apparatus, and a playing surface platform, presented as a preferred embodiment in the format of a small scale adaptation of the sport of hockey. A hand-operated apparatus is used as goalie equipment with a method of defending a goal from forthcoming small pucks. A shooting apparatus allows rotating a paddle member to control and propel such small pucks. A playing surface platform complements the use of the method along with these two apparatuses within shielded boundaries. The hand-operated apparatus can be positioned in a pose representative of goalie equipments and of bending of limbs. Furthermore, the present invention can be composed of different arrangements for alternative embodiments such as new types of games or to allow small scale adaptation of a physical activity.

A launcher (300) for pawns (666) comprising: a chamber comprising a base (110) and a muzzle situated opposite to each other, wherein the chamber is configured to be loaded with the pawn (666), via the muzzle; a magnet secured to the base (110); a bolt adapted to slide within the chamber to a loading position; a spring confined between the bolt and the base (110), wherein the spring is adapted to be squeezed; wherein by loading the pawn (666) into the chamber the bolt slide against the spring thereby squeeze the spring to the load position, wherein the bolt is configured to be retained in the load position, and wherein external impact break the magnetic field thus release the spring for driving the bolt toward the muzzle .

An easily transportable hockey game apparatus in which the components releasably couple and thereby hold together as a single unit; the components include a first goal, a second goal, a plurality of sticks and at least one puck, are provided herein.

A game set includes a first, a second and/or a further edge element, and a connection element with a first receptacle to receive the first edge element, and a second receptacle to receive the second and/or the further edge element. The first edge element and the second and/or further edge elements are detachably connected via the connection element. The first, the second and/or the further edge element, when connected, together form an edge for deflecting a movement of a movable game element for a playing area onto a playing area plane. The first, the second and/or the further edge element has/have a main body which has a curved cross-section having a curvature contour. The main body can thereby have a rolled-up or a stretched position. The main body is receivable, in the stretched position, with the curvature contour along a respective receiving axis in the first and/or second receptacle.

A swaying toy includes: a grounding-position-variable base member; a tubular tower member erected from the base member; a ball placing member which allows a ball to be placed thereon; and a piece placing member including a piece placing portion which allows a piece to be placed thereon and a ball-hit portion to be hit by the ball. The piece placing member is swingably attached to the tower member. The ball is released from the ball placing member according to a grounding state of the base member and passes through an inside space of the tower member.
