Abstract

A target game is disclosed in which a plurality of targets are mounted on a play surface and moved between exposed and concealed positions in an apparently random sequence. Projectiles, such as marbles or balls, are directed at the targets which can capture and retain projectiles that engage them. Retention of a projectile in the target will prevent the target from returning to its concealed position.
