A time controlled memory-skill game comprised of a tower capable of generally continuous rotating by means of a simple wind-up spring motor and displaying one or more designs to be recreated through playing pieces by one or more players. Substrates each having a design imprinted thereon can be removably retained on an exterior surface of the rotating tower such that it would rotate and intermittently present the designs to one or more players seated around the rotating tower. Each player may have a different design to recreate or one or more designs can be shared by players. Each of the players is provided with a playing board and a plurality of playing pieces with design portions thereon such that each player can recreate his design as shown on the tower by locating playing pieces in the proper locations and orientations. A switch may be connected to the tower for stopping its rotation when one of the players has recreated his design, or the tower may stop after a predetermined time interval. In a preferred aspect of the present invention the playing pieces are three-dimensional, in the form of cubes.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Referring now in more detail and by reference characters to the drawings, A designates a rotating tower device comprising a base housing 10 and an upstanding rotatable tower 12.
The tower 12 is generally rectangular in shape, as illustrated in FIG.
2, and is provided with four exterior flat walls 14 in a rectangular configuration.
Suitably mounted on the flat walls 14 are rectangularly shaped card receiving frames 16 which are opened at their upper ends in order to receive design cards 18.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the tower 12 may be molded as a simple unit from a plastic material in which case the frames 16 will be integral with the tower 12 and recessed therein as shown in FIG.
2.
By reference to FIG.
1 it can be observed that one such design card 18 is located in one of the frames 16 and is provided with a design of its exterior face.
In accordance with this construction, one or more design cards can be introduced into the retaining frames 16 in order to enable play in the various modes of play as previously described.
For convenience, the design cards may be made of a paperboard material with the designs suitably imprinted on one flat surface thereof.
As indicated previously, the design on the design card 18 is primarily composed of colored triangles, as for example, those colored triangles shown as being colored for red in FIG.
1, and designated by reference numeral 20, and those triangular portions shown as being colored for white and designated by reference numeral 22.
However, any form of design pattern could be used in the present invention.
One of the unique aspects of this form of design is that the playing pieces (hereinafter described) have proper design segment shapes and are color coded with respect to the design cards 18 so as to enable a recreation of the design on the design card 18.
FIG.
3A illustrates one form of design pattern, as also shown in the tower of FIG.
1, which can be created using the triangular playing pieces or the other playing pieces having triangular sections thereon
