This is a handy ball-in-maze game. The size is 11inch * 7.5inch * 1inch. A player puts a ball in a hole on back-top, moves a board by tilting, and aims to get a ball again from a hole on back-bottom. Both holes are located in the center of a board. There are many walls to prevent from heading straight to a goal.
