ABSTRACT:
A manipulative game can be constructed so as to utilize a housing having a transparent cover and a bottom member located within the housing adjacent to the cover and so as to be movable with respect to the cover between a no-play position in which one or more objects are clamped by the bottom member against the cover and a play position in which the objects may be moved to various locations relative to the bottom member. A timer is preferably employed with the game for operating an elevating structure which moves the bottom member between the play and the no-play positions. A stop mechanism is preferably provided for stopping the operation of the timer mechanism. Although the game is useable with only a single object within the space between the bottom member and the cover preferably a plurality of objects are used and the bottom member is provided with a series of recesses, each of the objects being capable of fitting within only one of the recesses.
