The present invention relates to a ring-swing skill game for play by one or more players. The basic structure of the game apparatus includes an upright game console, a target hook projecting from the front side of the console, a boom projecting from the upper portion of the console, an elongated flexible tether cord suspended from the outer end of the boom, and a ring affixed to the lower free end of the tether cord for swinging movement toward the game console by the one or more players during game play to attain hooking engagement of the ring with the hook. An electrically powered programmable computer board including game scoring circuitry is electrically interconnected to the ring and hook for detecting and recording ring contact with, and ring catches by, the hook as scoring events. A hook rotation mechanism is interconnected and controlled by the computer circuitry for rotating the hook from a pre-game non-play position with the hook opening in a fixed vertical downward orientation to and through other game play positions and motions to establish a number of game play skill levels. Electronic game score displays are interconnected to the computer board for indicating numeric score values to the players during game play.
