1. A game apparatus comprising:
an obstructing member, and
a target member connected to the obstructing member;
wherein the target member includes a structure surrounding an opening;
and a tunnel connected to the target member, wherein the opening of the target member leads to the tunnel;
wherein the obstructing member is rotationally supported by a supporting means;
wherein the obstructing member is configured to be rotated about a rotational axis from a first orientation to a second orientation with respect to the target member;
wherein in the first orientation, a projection of outside contour of the obstructing member covers a first portion of the opening of the target member;
wherein in the second orientation, a projection of outside contour of the obstructing member covers a second portion of the of the opening of the target member that is smaller than the first portion of the opening of the target member;
wherein the obstructing member includes a first protruding piece and a second protruding piece;
wherein the first protruding piece projects out perpendicularly to the rotational axis a first distance from the rotational axis in a first direction and the second protruding piece projects out perpendicularly to the rotational axis, a second distance from the rotational axis in a second direction which is different from the first direction;
wherein the target member and the obstructing member are connected such that the rotational axis of the obstructing member is substantially parallel to the opening; and
wherein the rotational axis of the obstructing member and the opening are separated by a distance which is greater than either of the first and the second distances.
