ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is a game device including a playing surface having games scoring indicia thereon by plural spaced regions each having point values, a sealed chamber underlying and coextensive with the playing surface containing plural magnets, in which the chamber is so fashioned that the magnets are constrained to remain oriented in one vertical alignment and are incapable of rotation. The magnets all have the same polarity proximate to the playing surface, and a further magnet is provided on the top playing surface which initially is oriented with its magnetic polarity similar to the magnets within the chamber in close tangential relation so that upon shaking the game device, the further magnet on the top face will be caused to flip over indicating that the magnets therebelow have been randomly redistributed. At least one die is then thrown to determine the number of markers to be cast. The markers are formed from spheres having polarities reactive to the magnet's polarity within the chamber to be cast. The quantity of these markers are determined by the dice roll, and these markers are then cast on the playing surface and are allowed to migrate under the influence of the magnets within the chamber. Indicia formed on the playing surface provides values for scorekeeping. The game device is housed in a container and storage areas are provided for the disposition and retrieval of the game markers.
