Abstract

An amusement device for use by opposing players includes an upstanding enclosure having spaced apart transparent side walls permitting the interior to be viewed by players on opposite sides. The enclosure includes a bottom wall with a pair of spaced apart parallel openings and a plurality of projectiles, such as table tennis balls, are contained within the enclosure and are adapted to be fired upwardly from the bottom wall. Each player is provided with a movable firing unit or 'cannon' which he positions beneath the opening in the bottom wall on his side and the firing unit is then manually operated to propel or fire a selected ball upwardly towards a target. Each player is provided with a target device having an open upper end for receiving the balls and holding a selected number of balls in a vertical stack. The player being first able to collect a selected number of the balls in his target device is the winner and the players may fire balls towards an arm on an opposing player's target device to cause the device to dump out one of the balls already collected. Thus, the game involves both offensive and defensive strategy as well as mechanical skill in aiming and firing the balls.
