Title: Board game amusement device

Abstract: An amusement game apparatus has a guide surface, a playing surface and a deflecting surface, and a freely movable player piece moved or propelled along the guide surface is directed by the deflecting surface onto the playing surface. The deflecting surface is curved and the shape varies in a direction transverse to the direction of movement of the player piece thereby varying the location where the player piece lands on the playing surface. The game includes a plurality of indicia-bearing elements such as cards for selective placement on the playing surface at different times whereby several different types of games, for example hockey, basketball, baseball and football, can be played at different times on the same apparatus. A manually-operable player element is movably connected to the playing surface for blocking or directing movement of the player piece.
