Abstract: A target assembly for use in games for personal entertainment and particularly pinball games, in which an electrically conductive ball traverses the base layer of a game board said base layer being electrically insulated from a contact plate. A multiscore plate is electrically connected to the contact plate and has a plurality of fingers that extend into a channell formed between the multiscore plate and a guide member such that, when the ball traverses the channel, it contacts the fingers of the multiscore assembly to complete an electrical current path between the contact plate and the base layer to trigger a scoring mechanism.
