Abstract
A self-contained game providing an enclosed space between a base and a transparent dome, and including a plurality of freely movable objects within the space. A plurality of levers are pivotably mounted on the base and can be manually activated by players via portions of the levers accessible outside the dome so that a hammer portion of the lever will impact objects at sockets on a surface portion of the base, causing the objects to fly upwardly into the space in an attempt by the players to propel the objects into receptacles on the base. After the game is completed, the game can be inverted to return the objects from the receptacles to the surface portion of the base so that the game can be replayed.
