A Ba-Gua fortune telling game tower comprising:

a main disk having a disk body with a top face divided into eight divinatory sections respectively designated with a Chinese character of Qian (), Dui (), Li(), Zhen(), Kun(), Gen (), Kan() and Xun(), an inner annular groove defined in the top face and passing through each of the divinatory sections, an outer annular groove defined in an outer periphery of the top face of the disk body to sandwich the divinatory sections with the inner annular ring, a first ball being able to roll along the inner annular groove and randomly stopped at a position corresponding to one of the divinatory sections, a hollow cap formed on a center of the top face of the disk body and a transparent main dome a bottom periphery of which is received in the outer annular groove to isolate interference outside the transparent main dome to movement of the first ball;
and
a first secondary disk having a first secondary disk body with a top face divided into twelve portions respectively designated with a numeral from 1 to 6 such that there are two sets of numerals of 1 to 6 on the top face of the first secondary disk body, a first inner annular groove defined in the top face and passing through all the portions to allow a second ball to roll along the first inner annular groove and be randomly stopped at a position corresponding to one of the portions, a first connection rod centrally formed on the top face of the first secondary disk body to extend through a bottom face of the disk body of the main disk and into the hollow cap to combine the first secondary disk and he main disk and a transparent first secondary cover mounted on the top face of the first secondary disk to prevent interference outside the first secondary disk from influencing movement of the second ball on the first inner annular groove such that from the positions of the first ball and the second ball, a player is able to look up information contained in a reference book to see the result of each time playing the game tower.
