Multiple maze game

Claim 1

A game including a maze through which playing pieces can be moved between a central location and a plurality of outer locations, wherein the maze is defined at least in part by a series of concentrically arranged annular members extending about an axis at said central location, and wherein means is provided supporting said members for turning movement with respect to one another about said axis from predetermined respective starting positions, each said member defining a plurality of gates through which a playing piece can be moved, and intervening blind compartments, the gates being spaced around the member and extending between inner and outer circumferences thereof, and the gates being arranged to co-operate with similar gates of adjacent members in each of a plurality of predetermined relative angular positions of the members to form a series of respectively different paths through the maze, whereby the configuration of the maze can be changed by turning the annular members to different angular positions about said axis, and wherein the game further includes means for simultaneously moving at least some of said members from their starting positions each through a predetermined angular amount to a position in which the members together define a path through the maze, said means comprising a key, and means adapted to support the key in a generally radial position below said annular members for movement through a predetermined angular amount from a starting position to an advanced position, wherein the key and annular members are provided with co-operating formations arranged to cause the required respective angular movements of relevant ones of said members through said predetermined angular amount in response to said movement of the key.
