Abstract
A pocket sized toy game including an enclosure defining a chamber wherein a die is retained for movement, a manually operated mechanism for randomly moving the dice within the chamber, and a game board. The enclosure includes a cover and a pivotally interconnected base. An open sided transparent housing located in a cavity defined by the cover defines a chamber wherein the dice are movably retained. The manually operated mechanism is arranged within the cover and includes a pivotal lever which impacts against the dice to facilitate moving the dice within the chamber to facilitate playing the game. The cover is movable between open and closed positions. In its open position, the cover is generally disposed upright relative to the base. In its closed position, the cover lies generally paralleled to the base and defines a cavity therebetween. The game board is pivotally connected to the cover or base and includes a series of interconnected board segments which are foldable relative to each other to facilitate storage of the game board within the cavity defined between the cover and base. The cover of the present invention further defines a chamber wherein associated markers for playing the game are stored. A door closes this chamber to prevent inadvertent loss of such associated markers. The game of the present invention further includes a scoring apparatus for tracking a player's score.
