The photograph on the left is of a cardboard match box 5cm long x 3,5cm wide x 1.5cm high.
The outer box is a sleeve. The inner box is white enclosed with clear plastic.
On the inside of the bottom of the inner box is another surface that is glued slightly above the bottom surface.
This upper surface has a printed face wearing a top hat and a red bow tie.
Where the nose should be is a target hole, and around this face are six red and blue circles with a target hole cut into the center of each circle.
In the bottom of the box are also seven 1cm diameter ball bearings.
The player manipulates the box in attempt to get the ball bearings into the target holes.
