Abstract:
1. A buoyant apparatus for game-playing atop a water surface and comprising: a first game portion disposed at a first end thereof, a second game portion disposed at a second end thereof, said second end being transversely disposed from said first end, a center of floatation disposed between said first and second ends such that said apparatus is adapted to float stably on the water surface with either of said ends directed upwardly, wherein said end floating upwardly is above the water surface and said other end is directed downwardly and below the water surface, and said ends comprise hollow portions adapted to allow water or air to flow there-into and there-from, and wherein said hollow portion of said end above the water surface is adapted to receive air and said hollow portion of said end below the water surface is adapted to receive water, thereby increasing the stability of the apparatus on the water surface, and said apparatus is comprised of a tubular structure having peripheral walls surrounding a hollow interior to comprise hollow portions, wherein said peripheral walls have vents there-through, said vents being adapted to receive air into said hollow interior at said end above the water surface and to receive water into said hollow interior at said end below said water surface, thereby increasing the stability of the apparatus on the water surface.
