A board game including a base having a path on which playing pieces can be moved from a starting point to a finish point. A number of dunking stations for the playing pieces are located along the path. Each dunking station includes a tiltable platform for dumping a playing piece located thereon into a water container. A water reservoir is supported on a tower located adjacent to the base. A water distributor is positioned between the water reservoir and the water containers. A number of intermediate water containers are located between the reservoir and the distributor. A conduit connects the reservoir, the intermediate water containers and the distributor. A valve controls the flow of water from the top reservoir to the conduit. A first marble track is arranged to discharge a marble into the water distributor. A second downwardly inclined track is also supported on the tower. The first marble is released when water fills one of the intermediate water containers. The second marble is releasably actuated by the first marble rolling down the first track. A valve is opened by the second marble rolling down the second track. The distributor is equipped with a number of water discharge outlets, any one of which is closable by the first marble seating in the outlet.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION This invention is directed to a board game which amuses the players not only with the excitement of moves controlled by the random rolls of dice but also with the uncertainty caused by the controlled release of water and its random distribution which affects the outcome of the game.
An object of this invention is a game in which playing pieces are removed from play by the accumulation of water in containers which water is released from a reservoir and the accumulation of water in any container is randomly directed.
Another object of this invention is a board game in which the release of water from a reservoir actuates the release of a marble which in turn actuates the release of another marble which allows the flow of water to continue to its ultimate destination.
Another object of this invention is a board game in which the release of marble by water determines the ultimate distribution of the water and the ultimate distribution of the water determines whether or not a particular playing piece is removed from the game.
Another object of this invention is a board game which safely uses a small amount of water in an enticing and interesting manner to amuse the players.
Other objects may be found in the following specification, claims and drawings.
