ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for playing a game comprising a base or body formed with large numbers of small apertures or windows (13), and means for displaying selected visible markings in the various windows. In one example there are a number of rotatable elements (12,44,41) located in the case, one below each window, each body having a plurality of different characters or symbols, so that by turning the bodies selected markings are displayed at the different windows. The apparatus may include a cover to conceal some of the windows and special groups of rotary indicates (P+Q) to indicate scores achieved in the game. The indicators may be tubular (28) or spherical (44) or may have cassette type printed strips (40). Alternatively the apparatus may include a writing surface (49,50,51) in each window, and an eraser (52) to erase any writing.
