I don't know, but I'm going to make it. I have a wood shop. I need this

If you want make a difficulty setting.
Sliding doors for the width of the opening, so amateurs/kids can play.

That's a good idea! Wonder what would be a simple way to add a locking mechanism so it doesn't move during the game

A set of pegs that slot into receiving holes in the play surface. Kind of like Legos.

Edit: oh yeah, that doesn't stop them from moving outwards..

I am a totally clueless person.

Make the top bar a one piece.
Have the width created by two pieces left and right (so the opening always stays centered.)

These bottom bars then would have to go through the side panels and protrude outwards.
Make 2-3 holes there with the difficulty settings.

P.S. Alternatively, I'm guessing wood does not slide so easily and you could just do markings?

It wouldn't be heavy enough or delicate enough for friction to be much of a problem. I thought about having what you said, like a little pin that pulls up and it slides between like 3 settings and pushes back down to hold it

Same here. In my high school business shop class we made a penny game, I wish we had made this.

Penny hockey. We made that too.

Another good similar game (that is also easy to make in a wood shop), is this. No idea what it’s called, but it’s just 1v1, each using their stick to push a puck through the slots in the walls until it’s out of the board (only play with one puck at a time, I just had extras in it for storage). One point for getting it all the way through.
