Game apparatus

摘要

An upright rearwardly inclined game-piece receiving panel is carried by a panel receiving socket in a base and is movable to a vertical position by a biasing spring acting on the socket. Game-pieces applied to the panel are ejected therefrom upon the expiration of a predetermined period of time when a timer mechanism also carried by the base member releases a latch mechanism holding the socket inclined against the bias of the spring. The panel is preferably shaped like a human head. The game-pieces preferably resemble facial features and have bases shaped complementary to recesses formed in the panel at appropriate locations and are selected by the player as a component of a face by reference to a design on a card. The game is won by first selecting the appropriate game pieces and applying them to the panel to produce the prescribed composite design and then manually stopping the timer mechanism before it causes the game-pieces to be ejected from the panel.
