A transparent container partially filled with transparent viscous liquid; contains a multifaceted multicolored indicia enhanced game piece, which is greater in specific gravity than the transparent viscous liquid and an air bubble greater in size than the maximum horizontal clearance distance between the game piece and container side wall. When the container is turned relatively end for end the bubble rises, striking the game piece, whereby it rotates as it falls slowly to the bottom of the container, where the top or scoring facet of the game piece is viewed through the transparent container and transparent liquid. The game piece falling time period, being relatively repetitive, may be used for game play timing. The colors and indicia on the game piece facets give the player game playing instructions. When two or more containers are used in cooperation or two or more game pieces are used in one container, the colors of the game piece scoring facets instruct the players to either add, subtract or cancel the cooperative game pieces indicia, whereby there is a greatly expanded number of possible combinations. Incorporation of a tumble weight, having points and edges, inside hollow game pieces enhance erratic rotation of the game pieces as they fall adding suspense and avoiding player influence. Magnetic polarization of the game pieces whereby they repel each other, avoids game pieces coming to rest atop each other obscuring the scoring facet. The air bubble accommodates expansion or contraction of the liquid in the container.
