The tops (5) may be of various sizes, and may be set spinning by twirling a projecting rod. The tops stand up on their rods when they are spinning fast. The board (1) may be flat or slightly concave as seen in plan view, and has an array of holes (2) into which the rods on the tops may drop. The board may be square with rounded corners and has an upstanding border (4) with a flexible bumper to deflect the tops back toward the center of the board.
