A toy comprising a stack of elements including at least first, second and third elements having a cord running therethrough. The cord is configurable between a taut state in which the stack is prevented from toppling, and a slack state in which the first, second and third elements are movable relative to one another to effect toppling of the stack. The first element comprises a stop configured to limit movement of the second element relative to the first element to a pre-determined range such that the stack is only partially toppled by movement of the second element through the pre-determined range, and movement of the first and/or third element is necessary for the stack to reach a fully-toppled state.

One embodiment is made up of an outer casing with internal mechanisms that allow for a cable to be housed inside of it and pulled out upon operation. The retractable element of this embodiment keeps tension on the cable. This cable is pulled through the center of two separate three dimensional objects and is tethered to the side farthest from which the above embodiment rests. There are vertical penetrating holes in the center of each three dimensional object that allow the cable to pass through freely. The holes are strategically placed in the center of each three dimensional object.

A dice rolling device (1) includes a housing (12) formed in a bottomed tubular shape that opens upward, and a plurality of pins {first and second pins (22, 24)} provided in the bottom portion of the housing (12). Further, the dice rolling device (1) includes a flat plate portion (8) with a plurality of through holes (9) through which the pins are inserted, and includes a dice stage (4) accommodated in the housing (12) movably in the vertical direction. The dice rolling device (1) further includes a spring member (31) that biases the dice stage (4) upward, a dome-shaped cover (2) that covers the flat plate portion (8) from above, and a die accommodated in a space (S1) surrounded by the cover (2) and the dice stage (4). The moving range of the dice stage (4) is the range between the lower limit position in which the pins (22, 24) extend through the through holes (9) and protrude above the flat plate portion (8) and the upper limit position in which the pins are accommodated in the through holes (9). Hence, this invention can provide the dice rolling device (1) having high contingency of appearing dots of a die.
