Abstract: A game is played by placing a plurality of first playing pieces, a plurality of second playing pieces and a third playing piece in an opaque container. The container has an opening which allows the playing pieces to sequentially pass through when shaken. Dice, or other means, are rolled to obtain an indicia number. The container is shaken until the number of first playing pieces is removed in accordance with the indicia number. However, should any of the second playing pieces also be removed from the container before the indicia number is reached, the player loses. If the third playing piece is removed from the container during the play the effect of a subsequent second playing piece also being removed has no effect.
