Abstract
A toy-game device includes a base, a timer in the base actuatable for a set period of time, a rotatable platform operatively connected to the timer for rotation during the set period of time, a plurality of magnetically responsive game elements receivable on the platform, a receiving member on the base and a magnetic retrieving mechanism for retrieving the game elements from the platform and for depositing them in the receiving member. The game elements have opposite magnetically responsive and nonmagnetically responsive sides and the device includes a turnover mechanism for individually turning the game elements over to position the magnetically responsive sides thereof in upwardly facing relation so that they can be retrieved with the retrieving mechanism. The game device further includes an action element which is ejected from the base in the event that a predetermined number of the game elements have not been retrieved with the retrieving mechanism and deposited in the receiving member upon the expiration of the set period of time.
