Cube game of skill and chance

Cube game of skill and chance, comprising in combination:

• (a) a hollow cube two of whose opposite surfaces comprise identical playing surfaces comprising grids of a multiplicity of correspondingly identical apertures;
• (b) flexible tubing connecting each aperture on one of said playing surfaces with the corresponding identical aperture on the opposite playing surface, said flexible tubing being of sufficient length to droop thereby preventing passage of light from one playing surface to the other while sufficiently flexing to receive a horizontal rod extending therein, thereby preventing a player adjacent one playing surface from detecting the insertion of rods in specific apertures on the other playing surface by an opposing player;
• (c) rod shaped members for insertion through said apertures into said tubing, said rod shaped members formed into two groups including a first group of simple rods having a length greater than the distance between said opposite surfaces, whereby when inserted both players may view the ends of the simple rods, and a second group of playing piece rods having a length less than the distance between said opposite playing surfaces, whereby when inserted only the player inserting said playing piece rods can view the rod;
• and
• (d) marker pieces made of a ferromagnetic material, ferromagnetic material also located at least centrally between each grouping of four apertures on each of said playing surfaces on the inside playing surface of said hollow cube, whereby when said marker pieces are placed upon the outside playing surface of said hollow cube, and centrally between four of said apertures, said markers will adhere thereto due to attractive forces of magnetism.
