ABSTRACT:
An amusement device for use in providing a manipulative puzzle, word games, games of chance, scoring games, or the like. Upper and lower parallel plates are planarly rotatable about a vertical axis. A plurality of cylinder assemblies is carried by the plates disposed on the outer periphery such that their longitudinal axes intersect to define a regular polygon parallel to the plates. Means are provided for maintaining spatial position of the upper one-half of each cylinder assembly relative to the upper plate, and the lower one-half of each cylinder assembly relative to the lower plate as the plates are rotated in opposing directions. When the plates are rotated such that the upper and lower cylinder halves combine to define the cylinder assemblies, each such assembly is further rotatable about its longitudinal axis. Each cylinder is comprised of sections each preferably having an identifier on its outer surface such as a different color or the like. Repeated rotation of the plates and cylinder assemblies permits formation of such assemblies from any combination of cylinder sections. When the combinations of cylinder sections are randomized, such repeated rotations may result in forming a preselected pattern of such identifiers to solve a puzzle as, for example, in forming a plurality of cylinder assemblies each with a different uniform outer surface color.
