| 20100301553 | GAME BOARD APPARATUS - A game board apparatus exhibiting a playing field for supporting thereupon a movable object introduced at a launch area located at one end of the playing field. A target area is positioned at a further location of the playing field for receiving the object. One or more obstacles are further located between the launch and target area and which are configured to modify a direction of travel of the object, such as to eliminate any linear path from the launch area to the target area, thus necessitating that the objects instead move along paths dictated by the obstacle(s) in order to reach the target area from the launch area. | 12-02-2010 |
| 20110148036 | Football board game and method - Slyder Football™ is a board game simulating American football. The game board has enclosed sides and the playing surface has a simulated, full size football field with designated scoring areas in each end zone. The players move a simulated football token by “thumping” it with their finger through obstacles located on the board, to a scoring area located in the opposite end zone. Preferably, the game board can be rotated 180 degrees for simulating side changes at halftime, i.e. after a first player reaches five (5) total scores. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110304096 | APPARATUS FOR PLAYING BY MEANS OF LAUNCHING PROJECTILES - The present invention relates to an apparatus for playing by means of launching projectiles, comprising at least one projectile propulsion device for propelling projectiles which slide on a playing surface; a raised substrate below which the launched projectiles circulate; and a set of playing pieces, the substrate being provided with means for the detachable support of the mentioned playing pieces comprising a pedestal on which at least one playing piece is stably placed; and a corresponding actuation lever, rotatably mounted with respect to the substrate, the power arm of which extends below the substrate and is susceptible to being hit by one of the propelled projectiles, forcing the lever to suddenly rotate about its rotation shaft such that it drives the rotating pedestal or the piece placed on it. | 12-15-2011 |
| 20120256372 | Bifacial Targets, Methods of Making and Methods of Use - Targets including bifacial target areas adjoining four planar extension arms that meet at a center and are set at angles of 109.5 degrees between adjacent arms. A method including providing a pair of symmetrical target portions each having two bifacial target areas adjoining extension arms that meet along a centerline. Slits are provided at centerline apexes, and the slits the two portions are merged. The two target portions are welded together along the merged slits. A method including positioning a target on a surface, with one extension arm projecting upward. A firearm is aimed at a face of the bifacial target area adjoined to the upwardly projecting arm. The firearm is fired to impact the face, the impact causing the target to flip into a new position The firearm is then aimed at a face of the bifacial target area adjoined to the new upwardly projecting extension arm. | 10-11-2012 |

| 20110260397 | Stack and Avoid Game - This invention, stack and avoid game, presents a method of playing a tag game with stackable figures, a projectile and three or more players. The method of playing this tag game requires at least three players; the suggested number being two teams composed of two members each. One team tries to tag all members of the other team before all the stackable figures are stacked up. The opposing team tries to stack up the stackable figures before all team members are tagged out. If at least one member of the tagged team finishes stacking up the stackable figures while avoiding being tagged, s/he will be able to bring back tagged team members back in the game. If the tagger's team has achieved tagging everyone before all stackable figures are stacked-up, the teams will change roles. Using three players will exclude the capacity of players bringing back tagged team members. | 10-27-2011 |
