MAGNETIC TYPE GAME

A magnetic type game simulating sports action wherein a generally horizontal, elevated playing surface is provided with a generally horizontal transparent cover disposed in spaced relationship above the playing surface. A plurality of playing pieces are disposed for movement transversely over the playing surface beneath the cover, some of the playing pieces having magnetic portions on the tops thereof representing a first team of simulated players and another set of playing pieces having magnetic portions on the bottoms thereof representing a second team of simulated players. Manipulatable members are provided for each actual player of the game for positioning either beneath the playing surface or above the cover, depending on which team of simulated players he is to manipulate, each manipulatable member having a magnetic portion which attracts the magnetic portions of the playing pieces to move a chosen one of the playing pieces over the playing surface in response to movement of a player's manipulatable member.
