Ball launching guide assembly for an amusement game device
A front cabinet panel piece, a back panel cabinet piece, a first side cabinet panel piece, and second side cabinet panel piece, each having a plurality of pre-formed openings, are arranged relative to one another to form an amusement game cabinet. The plurality of pre-formed openings are used to accept a corresponding plurality of knock-down hardware pieces each including a fastener locking component and a fastener. The fastener locking components are held within respective first ones of the pre-formed openings and the fastener is inserted into second ones of the pre-formed openings that are aligned with the first ones of the plurality of pre-formed openings. Each fastener is mated to its corresponding fastener locking component to complete assembly of the amusement game cabinet. The assembled amusement game cabinet is used to support a playfield and the playfield, in turn, is used to provide additional structural support to the amusement game cabinet.
EDUCATIONAL GAME AND METHOD OF MAKING SAME
A game and a method for making it, according to certain disclosed embodiments, may include a playfield for allowing a rollable device for moving along its surface. Playfield guides may direct the rollable device along a path of travel. Three or more target goals on the playfield may receive the rollable device as its final destination. Decision making devices mounted movably on the playfield may adjust manually selectively the path of travel, and each have an entrance structure and two or more exit structures. Decision making device guides direct the rollable device from the entrances to selected ones of the exits. Wherein the rollable device moves along a selected path of travel including user selected entrances and user selected exits of a series of decision making devices to a user selected target goal.
Adjustable Tabletop Sports Goal
The present disclosure provides a goal secured to a table configured to receive a projectile from a tabletop game with a playing surface. The goal includes a net portion, at least one bracket, and a tray portion. The net portion has a first end and a second end. The net portion is movable between a first position and a second position. The net portion is configured to receive a first projectile in the first position and a second projectile in the second position. The at least one bracket is configured to receive at least one of the first end or the second end of the net portion. The tray portion is configured to store the first projectile and the second projectile.
Rotating ball-in-a-maze puzzle game
A moving ball-in-a-maze puzzle game includes at least two moving maze rings. Each maze ring includes a respective maze, the maze rings moving relative to one another over a platform, defining dynamic paths therebetween enabling maneuvering a ball on the platform from a start position to an end position through the mazes, while passing between the respective moving maze rings.

Game board
A game board includes: a field plate; a rod-shaped manipulation lever disposed under the field plate; and a player figure which is disposed above the field plate and make a play on a ball located on the field plate. The field plate has a long through-hole. The player figure is attached to the manipulation lever through the through-hole. The player figure is movable above the field plate as the manipulation lever is moved in its axial direction, and is rotatable about a pivot portion of the player figure by a rotation manipulation on the manipulation lever. The field plate has, beside the through-hole, a ball holding portion to allow the ball to stay. Part of the player figure is capable of coming into contact with the ball staying in the ball holding portion.

User controllable marble run kit
A marble run apparatus kit includes a plurality of physically interconnectable marble run modules, each module configured to retain a marble and guide the travel of the marble through the module. The plurality of marble run modules includes at least a first controllable module. The first controllable module includes a baffle, an actuator, and a wireless receiver. The baffle is disposed in the module, and has a first position and a second position. The baffle is configured to direct the marble within the module in different directions based on whether the baffle is in the first position or the second position. The actuator is supported on the module, and receives a first control signal. The actuator changes the position of the baffle responsive to receiving the first control signal. The wireless receiver provides the first control signal to the actuator upon receiving a first wireless control signal.
Device for setting up a game
A device for setting up a game with a ball, the device being reversibly dismountable so that it can be assembled and/or played with anywhere on an existing plate surface. The device includes at least one ball clamping unit with a first side wall, a second side wall, and a ball admission opening which is arranged between the first side wall and the second side wall. The ball is clamped in the at least one ball clamping unit so that the ball remains on the existing plate surface when the ball enters the ball admission opening. The at least one ball clamping unit is detachably fastened to the existing plate surface in an assembled state.
