Abstract
A competitive action game includes a generally horizontal playing surface mounted below a parallel cover sheet of resilient, transparent material. A plurality of deformable support columns flexibly maintain the cover at a preselected distance above the playing surface. The support columns may be deformed upon manual compression by a player to flex the surrounding portion of the cover toward the playing surface thus reducing the distance therebetween. The game apparatus includes a rolling supported playing object for positioning between the playing surface and the cover member such that, upon compression of a support column, the reduction of the space between the playing surface and the cover forces the playing object generally away from the point of pressure and in a predetermined direction.
