Abstract: The present invention relates to a game and gameboard apparatus wherein the game is played by directing a marble or similar projectile across a gameboard in a generally straight line path and wherein one or more players stationed along the gameboard attempt to strike and intercept the marble (target projectile) as the same moves across the playing board. To provide for the opportunity of interception, the gameboard of the preferred embodiment comprises a series of longitudinally spaced shooting or intercepting stations with a respective player stationed at each station. In a typical type of game, the respective players stationed along the gameboard attempt to intercept a passing target projectile as the same moves along a normal straight line course across the board. Although various ways are disclosed for intercepting the target projectile, the main principle of interception revolves around a respective player actuating an intercepting projectile, pendulum member, or the like such that the same crosses the path of the target projectile at an area point at the same time the target projectile is passng through the same area point. This results in a hit and accordingly the target projectile is intercepted and a score or point is given to the player or the player's team making the hit or interception.
