Abstract: A game comprises a group of adjacent blocks, each having generally a semi-spherical recession in its upper surface and an eccentrically weighted ball having a diameter substantially the same as that of the recessions. Through holes defined in the bottom of the blocks are sized to permit a player's fingers to extend therethrough to try to manipulate the ball so that it is moved from block to block in a prescribed order.

Abstract: A game has as its object to move a playing piece, in the form of a segment of a sphere, along a low-friction game board surface by dropping a ball or other object onto the playing piece. In a preferred embodiment the ball is permitted to ride on a track formed by two flexible members held in tension by the player. Upon release of the tension the ball drops. The game board is marked with different areas into which the playing piece is to be moved.
