  • Patent number: 4632397
    Abstract: A transparent container partially filled with transparent viscous liquid; contains a multifaceted multicolored indicia enhanced game piece, which is greater in specific gravity than the transparent viscous liquid and an air bubble greater in size than the maximum horizontal clearance distance between the game piece and container side wall. When the container is turned relatively end for end the bubble rises, striking the game piece, whereby it rotates as it falls slowly to the bottom of the container, where the top or scoring facet of the game piece is viewed through the transparent container and transparent liquid. The game piece falling time period, being relatively repetitive, may be used for game play timing. The colors and indicia on the game piece facets give the player game playing instructions.
