Spinning top game

Abstract

A hand-held game consisting of a spinning top and a play object over which the player maneuvers the top. In the preferred embodiment the play object has a planar disc-shaped base play surface with satellite disc-shaped base play surfaces attached at the edge of the base play surface and oriented perpendicular to the base play surface. The player receives points based on the difficulty of maneuvers involving tossing of the spinning top off one play surface and landing on and continuing to spin on a second play surface.

1 . A game comprising: 
 a top, and    a hand-held play object having a base play surface on which said top can be spun and from which said top can be tossed and a first satellite play surface onto which said top can be made to land and continue spinning after said top is tossed off of said base play surface by movement of said held play object.    
   
   
       2 . The game of  claim 1  wherein said top, after being tossed from said base play surface to land while still spinning on said first satellite play surface, while still spinning said top can be tossed from said first satellite play surface and made to land on said first base surface and continue spinning.  
   
   
       3 . The game of  claim 1  wherein said hand-held play object further includes a second satellite play surface onto which said top can be made to land and continue spinning after said top is tossed off of said base play surface.  
   
   
       4 . The game of  claim 1  wherein said satellite surface is attached to an edge of said base play surface and oriented roughly perpendicular to said base play surface.  
   
   
       5 . The game of  claim 3  wherein said base play surface is roughly disc-shaped and said satellite surface is roughly disc-shaped.
