         5 . The game of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted object has a weight that is not evenly distributed along the weighted object. 
     
     
         6 . The game of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted object includes an eccentric mass that causes vibrations. 
     
     
         7 . The game of  claim 1 , wherein the weighted object includes a sound emitting speaker. 
     
     
         8 . The game of  claim 1 , wherein at least a portion of the weighted object changes colors. 
     
     
         9 . The game of  claim 1 , further comprising a timer. 
     
     
         10 . The game of  claim 9 , wherein the timer is at least one of a clock, a vibrator in the weighted object, a light source in the weighted object, and a sound emitted from a speaker in the weighted object.
