Abstract
Abstract A board played game with the playing board elevated at one end. A pair of score boards are positioned each at a different side of the board with sectors having different numbered indicia in staggered order. The score boards are sized such that their surface is below the upper surface of the board and when the disk rolls over the edge onto each board it will stabilize and take position on one of the marked sectors. Also included on the board is a pair of pegs positioned proximate the lower end by the score boards. The players may be allowed at least three rolls at the bonus pegs which carry a much larger value than the several indicia indicated on the scoreboard.
