Abstract
A game playing piece having a body with opposite surfaces one of which is positioned in engagement with a playing surface during playing of a game, the one surface of the game piece being constructed so that when a downwardly directed force is applied on one part of the playing piece it will cause another part of the playing piece to tilt upwardly away from the playing surface so that it can be taken hold of and lifted off the playing surface. The playing piece is made tiltable by providing a single projection or a plurality of projections on the one surface of the piece adjacent the peripheral edge. Alternatively, the playing piece can be provided with beveled peripheral edges.
