ABSTRACT:
A game device including a generally horizontally disposed building board of wood or other rigid material having a hole in one portion of the surface thereof which communicates with a downwardly inclined tubular member in the form of a tunnel having transverse ridges in the lower surface thereof. A plurality of building blocks of wood or other material are provided in order to construct a toy block building on the building board and heavy metal balls are provided for rolling movement through the tube or tunnel with engagement of the heavy ball with the ridges causing the building board to shake and also to produce a noise to simulate the conditions which exist during an earthquake. The blocks are optionally interconnected by pins to produce an earthquake-proof building, a spinner is provided to control operation of the game and picture puzzles are provided on opposite sides of the building blocks, thus enabling multiple games to be played.
