ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus has a housing and a removable lid for covering the housing. A brief flash of high-intensity illumination is provided when the lid is removed. A number of playing pieces randomly positioned within the housing receive the illumination of the flash. The playing pieces briefly radiate color-coded visible light after receiving the flash, forming a random pattern of colored light. At least two players may view the game pieces to form impressions of the locations of the playing pieces while they are radiating the light. Each player must rely upon his memory as to where his color of playing pieces are located. The players use an implement to remove the game pieces in turn according to his memory of where colors assigned to him are located.
