ABSTRACT:
A game board or display board wherein in the disclosed perferred game board embodiment an eight by eight array of individually rotatable blocks, each having a plurality of exterior surfaces of different colors, are supported on eight longitudinal shafts. Each block is separated from its next adjacent block by a spacer which surrounds two longitudinal shafts. Spring biasing is used to create an axial force acting longitudinally along each shaft to frictionally grip each block and retain it with its original surface showing, or another selected face which has been turned up by finger pressure by a player. Reset bars are provided to relieve the axial force, thereby allowing each block to rotate under the action of a weighted lobe and to return to its starting position to begin a new game.
