ABSTRACT:
A game of skill and strategy wherein weighted elements are placed on extending arms attached to a central balancing portion supported above a column. The weights must be carefully distributed so that the arms do not lean too far in one direction so as to close an electrical circuit and actuate a signal device. Conveniently, a battery is located within the central column and a signal device such as a light is mounted atop the central portion to detect closing of the electrical circuit and the player's errant attempt to balance the device. A plurality of dice are rolled to determine on which of the depending arms the weighted elements must be hung. Higher scores are awarded for balancing the weights toward the ends of the extending arms. Challenge cards may also be used to challenge a particular distribution of weights on the game device.
