Tippecanoe Game 1940

The game is about 20 inches long, 14 inches wide, 1 1/2 inches deep. There is a lid which slides out through the top end to reveal the playing board inside. There are yellow wood slats and blue slats that connect to them to let them slide up & down. Some versions of the game come with red wood paddles which are 8 inches long with 2 different length yellow pegs attached which fit into the holes along the sides, but not all versions have this. The game comes with a wooden dowel over 18 inches long and two small steel balls with etched symbols on them. The goal of the game is to move the ball down through the tipped slats so that it ends up going through the 150 metal loop at the bottom in order to score maximum points for your turn.
