Abstract
An amusement game in which a game piece descends adjacent a playing surface. A preferred embodiment of the game includes a playing surface, a game piece, a plurality of deflecting members, and a receiving mechanism. The playing surface is preferably inclined. The deflecting members are preferably adapted to deflect the descending game piece. Nevertheless, the game piece is preferably adapted to descend past the deflecting members. The receiving mechanism is preferably positioned below the deflecting members. The receiving mechanism may have a recessed portion and a handle. The handle is preferably adapted to enable a player to move the recessed portion relative to the playing surface. Consequently, the player is preferably enabled to move the recessed portion to catch the game piece with the recessed portion.
