Abstract

A game apparatus that has a goal corresponding to the number of a player and is designed to cause the player to move a target to the goal in a playing field. The game apparatus has a plurality of tossing devices disposed on the playing field for tossing and moving the movable game piece. Each of the tossing devices includes an impacting member disposed in the playing field to be vertically movable for upwardly tossing the movable game piece, driving devices for tossing the impacting member and a beam sensor located on the impacting member for sensing a beam from a ray gun to energize the driving devices. Adjacent impacting members of the tossing devices toss up the movable game piece in different direction, and there are at least two impacting members under the movable game piece when the movable game piece is on the playing field.
