ABSTRACT:
A game has a pair parallel walls defining a space therebetween, at least one of the walls being transparent to permit viewing of the space from the exterior of the game, and a liquid-light seal around the space, with a liquid retained in the space by the seal. Buoyant balls immersed in the liquid include a ferrous material, and a retainer extends partially across a lower portion of the space for releasably retaining the balls. A magnet at the exterior of the space is manipulable for displacing the balls from beneath the retainer; and ball receptacles located above the retainer each have a downwardly facing ball reception opening dimensioned to receive the balls therein as the balls rise buoyantly through the space on release of the balls by the magnet.
