Welcome to Purple Pawn, covering games played around the world by billions of people every day.
jumpSHOT Table Basketball takes the idea of a traditional tabletop basketball game and adds in paintable figurines that act as a catapult for the basketball.
Basically everything revolves around the gimick of the paintable jump-shooting action figurines, which are apparently patented. Vlad Mitvalsky, the inventor of the game, even hopes to get officially licensed NBA figures at some point.
The game is up on Kickstarter, and as of right now has 38 days left to raise $4000. If this looks like your cup of tea, pledge and hope he makes his goal.

Thanks for noticing our table basketball game!
Our basketball figurines are really patented. They actually perform a pretty authentic jump shot, making our game much more fun than any other table basketball: there are no cards to tell you who wins and no boring plain catapults! And yes, we intend to get licenses for annual series of NBA and NCAA figurines, but that may take some time.
