Board game with playing piece dispenser

摘要

A board game includes a game board with a plurality of playing positions arranged thereon. A first set of playing pieces, conveniently in the form of construction workers, are moved along the playing positions while other sets of playing pieces, conveniently in the form of barrels and fire balls, interfere with the progress of the first set of playing pieces. Conflicts between the first and second sets of playing pieces are resolved by a two suit deck of cards. A playing piece dispenser is arranged to dispense playing pieces of the first set, one at a time directly onto the playing surface. The playing piece dispenser includes a collection bin for storing a plurality of playing pieces in serial fashion. A pivotal arm is connected at an outlet opening of the bin to receive a single playing piece therein. The pivotal arm receives a playing piece when the arm is in a generally horizontal position. In response to downward pivotal movement instituted by the user, the playing piece slides through the pivotal arm to a position just over the playing surface so that the playing piece may be accurately deposited on the game board.
