Abstract
Game apparatus includes a fold-up board (12) including a lateral bar (28) dividing the board into opposite playing areas on opposite sides. A longitudinal center strip (17) divides the playing area into two parts on each side. These playing parts have contrasting colors on each side which match diagonally with the same colors on the other side. The top playing surface has a layer of granules (21) distributed substantially uniformly throughout to provide spin enhancement of playing balls (31) that are thrown by the hand over and around the ends of the bar and onto the playing areas. The balls have a high degree of resiliency and are matched with the size of the board to provide a highly competitive game.
