Interesting. Never heard of this game

Hello Ron,

I came across this pattern soon after starting scroll sawing (couple of years ago), liked it, made it, and it's been a favorite seller and requested gift from friends/relatives.  I compare it fun wise with the Shut The Box game.  But this one allows for multiple players.

I also have sold quite a few of these. Instead of penny drop, I was lazy and used coin drop.
The coin drop game pictured is 3/8” Baltic birch, 9x5x2 1/2. With a hinged lid.
The penny drop is a bandsaw box, made from alder. The dimensions are 7x3 3/4 x1 3/4. 
it is a lot of fun to play. 
I include two rolls of pennies, laminated directions and a $1.00 scratch off. I tell people that the pennies should stay with the game. (Who the heck carry’s pennies these days). The scratch off is used as an example of what you can use as a prize for the winner. Plus, it’s great marketing.
