A game played with the apparatus has as its object keeping the top member spinning long enough to negotiate the gaming pathway an attain points associated with the portion of the gaming pathway negotiated. The gaming pathway may contain obstacles that make the pathway more difficult to travel with point values assigned accordingly.
