Abstract: A toy figure, such as a baseball player, which may or may not represent an actual identifiable person, is mounted upon a cylindrical base. Carried in the base is a rotatable disk having a grooved, serrated, knurled or otherwise textured outer peripheral wall. An arcuate access opening in the side wall of the base exposes a segment of at least the textured peripheral wall facilitating spinning or rotation of the disk by the user's thumb or finger. On the upper face of the disk, as disposed in the base, are a number of sectors, each of which contains indicia for determining an outcome in the play of a game. A viewing opening in the upper surface of the base permits viewing of a single sector on the disk.

Abstract: A plurality of collectible dice, each including a multi-faceted polyhedron having an opaque base. A three dimensional character is positioned on the base and contained within each die. At least one of the facets of each die, other than the base, is transparent or translucent to permit viewing of the character. Indicia for distinguishing the die and for use in game play are contained on each die. Players obtain a collection of dice from a universe of distinctive dice and establish a set of dice from the collection. A set of dice for use in a given turn of a game is selected from the collection. At least one selected die is cast and the value is determined from a combination of the character contained within the die and the indicia showing on the upwardly facing facet of the die.

Abstract: A hand-held electronic game with audio directions has a center with two connected elongated ends for bending and rotating relative to the center by a player. Position sensing switches provide input to a control module. Various pre-programmed games may be played according to directions from the control module. In one, players are given “hot”/“cold” directions as they attempt to transform the game into a predetermined, but undisclosed, configuration. For another, there are directions, such as “bend it”, which have a number of correct responses. There is a “bend it back” direction which requires recall of the prior “bend” move for the one correct response. Another variation gives a sound that must precede a direction to authorize the player to follow the direction. Each particular configuration may also be identified by a sound effect requiring the player to recall the shape associated with the sound.
