Ok. It is based on the same principle. "Loosing your marbles".

No, this game had rotating plastic rings with indentations. When the rings were rotated, the balls fell from one ring to the next.

No need to downvote it, simply not voting it might serve the cause here.

<p>I remember a childhood game for many player, with each player receiving multiple small plastic balls. The balls were placed on the game board, a circle with many moving levels, each with indentations for the ball. On each turn, a player could move a level as far as they wanted until a ball fell from the level above. Any idea what game this is?</p>

What is this game involving moving circular levels and small balls that get moved up and down them?
