Abstract
A game of chance and skill comprising a multiple sided game piece containing a movable weight wherein all but one side has a different surface area and a number. One side has the designation "FLIP OUT". The game is played by placing the game piece on the edge of a surface, flipping it so that it turns around at least a 180.degree., and adding up the numbers on the upper surface until a player reaches a total of twenty-one points, or any other pre-designated value. Preferably, each player gets three flips per turn unless the "FLIP OUT" designation is thrown, in which case all the points for that turn are forfeited.
