Abstract:
A game including a playing surface which defines a plurality of scoring areas generally in adjacent side-by-side position. A game piece which is capable of being overturned or flip-flopped between alternative flat supporting surfaces of an overall housing is provided. The game piece includes flange portions which outwardly extend from the housing and which form targets for a play ball or other element so that when such targets are forcefully struck by the playing element, the playing piece will flip-flop over on to its opposite supporting surface and thus linearly move along the playing surface so as to effect scoring by its disposition in various scoring areas thereof. The game piece housing is generally closed and supports a balancing weight preferably in the form of a relatively heavy spherical ball.
