Abstract
A time controlled memory-skill game comprised of a tower capable of generally continuous rotating by means of a simple wind-up spring motor and displaying one or more designs to be recreated through playing pieces by one or more players. Substrates each having a design imprinted thereon can be removably retained on an exterior surface of the rotating tower such that it would rotate and intermittently present the designs to one or more players seated around the rotating tower. Each player may have a different design to recreate or one or more designs can be shared by players. Each of the players is provided with a playing board and a plurality of playing pieces with design portions thereon such that each player can recreate his design as shown on the tower by locating playing pieces in the proper locations and orientations. A switch may be connected to the tower for stopping its rotation when one of the players has recreated his design, or the tower may stop after a predetermined time interval. In a preferred aspect of the present invention the playing pieces are three-dimensional, in the form of cubes.
