Abstract A game construction including a playing board adapted to rest on a supporting surface, a plurality of semi-spherical upwardly facing openings disposed in parallel rows in said board for receiving a like plurality of spherical elements. The spherical elements have the surface of one semi-spherical portion of one color or indicia and the surface of the opposite spherical portion of a second color or indicia. The use of the foregoing construction involves the steps of positioning all of the playing elements with their first color facing upwardly, taking alternate moves by two players, each move consisting of reversing the exposure of a selective number of consecutive playing elements in a vertical or in a horizontal row to expose its second color, continuing the moves until the last playing element remains with its first color exposed, and the player reversing the last element being declared the loser.
A game construction comprising a playing board adapted to rest on a supporting surface, a plurality of semi-spherical upwardly facing openings in said board disposed in parallel, four equally spaced vertical rows and four equally spaced horizontal rows of openings in said board, said playing board Being a square prism having a square upper surface with the length of the sides being of the order of about 5 inches and the thickness being of the order of about 1 1/4 inches, a plurality of like spherical playing elements positioned in said openings, each of said spherical playing elements having a diameter of the order of about 3/4 inch, each of said elements having a first indicia on the surface of one semi-spherical portion and having a second indicia on the surface of the opposite semi-spherical portion, whereby selective indicia may be exposed when said playing elements are mounted in said openings in the playing board by manual manipulation of the playing elements, respectively.
