Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A game apparatus comprising a game board having at least four vertical walls and a substantially horizontal platform spaced downwardly from the top of said walls and attached thereto to form a well into which water may be poured, said horizontal platform being also spaced upwardly from the bottom of said walls to form a cavity in the bottom of said game board, said walls having at least one aperture positioned below said horizontal platform in one of the vertical walls providing a bearing guide for a playing stick thereby providing access to said cavity from outside said game board, a playing stick extending through said aperture, a grid within said well with its openings vertically oriented, the vertical height of the walls of said grid being less than the depth of said well, flow passage means for allowing liquid poured into the grid to flow from one cell to another whereby it is not necessary to individually fill each cell.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
161 words
A game apparatus comprising a game board having at least four vertical walls and a substantially horizontal platform spaced downwardly from the top of said walls and attached thereto to form a well into which water may be poured, said horizontal platform being also spaced upwardly from the bottom of said walls to form a cavity in the bottom of said game board, said walls having at least one aperture positioned below said horizontal platform in one of the vertical walls providing a bearing guide for a playing stick thereby providing access to said cavity from outside said game board, a playing stick extending through said aperture, a grid within said well with its openings vertically oriented, the vertical height of the walls of said grid being less than the depth of said well, flow passage means for allowing liquid poured into the grid to flow from one cell to another whereby it is not necessary to individually fill each cell.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
41 words
A game apparatus as recited in claim 1 wherein said stick is elongated and has a neck portion of size smaller than the aperture in the vertical wall whereby the neck of the stick may be freely inserted in said aperture.
