ABSTRACT:
A game device comprises a transparent housing having a plurality of partition plates which are spaced apart to divide the interior of the housing into a plurality of compartments, each partition plate having a through-hole therein to intercommunicate two adjacent compartments, first game pieces each of which is freely movable and confined in each compartment, each game piece being capable of blocking the through-holes of the partition plates by which the first game piece is confined, and a plurality of second game pieces freely movable under gravity from one of the compartments to the other through the through-holes, wherein, during playing, the housing is held by hand and moved, tilted or shock so as to move selectively a desired number of the second game pieces from at least one of the compartments to adjacent through-holes and then fall down into one of the lower compartments, the movement of the housing being controlled to prevent the first game piece from blocking the through-holes while causing the second game pieces to fall down.
