The first upper impassable region 11a5 shows an example formed by the first upper wide recessed region 11a3 and the first upper convex portion 11a4.
The second upper impassable region 12a5 and the fourth upper impassable region 14a5 to the sixth upper impassable region 16a5 are formed by narrowed widths of the second upper groove 12a1 and the fourth upper groove 14a1 to the sixth upper groove 16a1, respectively. An example is shown.

The first through hole 11a6 to the sixth through hole 16a6 are through holes having a diameter larger than the diameter of the ball 20.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first upper ball placing region 11a7 communicates with at least one of the three sides forming the equilateral triangle of the first upper surface 11a. The same applies to the second upper ball placing area 12a7 to the sixth upper ball placing area 16a7, which communicates with at least one of the three sides forming the equilateral triangle of the second upper surface 12a to the sixth upper surface 16a.
The first upper ball placing area 11a7 to the sixth upper ball placing area 16a7 are recessed areas that do not communicate with the passage such as the first upper groove 11a1 and are used for placing the balls 20.
In the second embodiment, it is provided in the region including the vertices of each piece, but it may be provided in another region.

In order to prevent the ball 20 from spilling, it is desirable that the recessed region forming the first upper ball placing region 11a7 to the sixth upper ball placing region 16a7 is surrounded by a wall. As shown in FIG. 8, when a saucer 40 that covers the side surface of the board portion 10 is provided, the saucer 40 may be used as a wall.

The first pieces 11 to 6 are connected and placed on the saucer 40 so that the 11a7 to the sixth upper ball placing areas 16a7 communicate with each other.

In the second embodiment, by providing a wide recessed area, a through hole, an impassable area, and a recess, the difficulty level of rolling the ball 20 as intended by the user holding the board portion 10 is adjusted as compared with the first embodiment. It will be easier.

FIG. 6 shows an example in which the user grips the rod-shaped holding portion 30, and FIGS. 8 to 12 show an example in which the user grips the saucer 40 covering the bottom surface and the side surface of the board portion 10. ..
The saucer 40 has a side portion 41 and a bottom portion 42.

The side portion 41 has a substantially hollow cylindrical shape including a hollow portion 41a which is substantially the same as the outer shape of the board portion 10.
The side portion 41 has a first gripping hole 41b for the user to grip around the hollow portion 41a.
The side portion 41 has a thickness thicker than that of the board portion 10 so as to cover the side surface of the board portion 10 and prevent the balls 20 from rolling down from the board portion 10.

The bottom portion 42 is provided on the lower surface of the side portion 41 and has a substantially disk shape similar to the outer shape of the side portion 41.
The bottom portion 42 has a hole (bottom hole 42a) in a region facing the hollow portion 41a of the side portion 41 in the vertical direction.
The bottom hole 42a contributes to weight reduction of the bottom portion 42, and also pushes out the board portion 10 placed on the saucer 40 from below to make it easy to remove.
It is preferable that the bottom surface holes 42a are provided at positions communicating with any one or more of the first through holes 11a6 to the sixth through holes 16a6, respectively.
The bottom portion 42 has a second gripping hole 42b that communicates with the first gripping hole 41b of the side portion 41.

The side portion 41 and the bottom portion 42 may be integrally formed or may be formed separately.

By placing the pieces of the board portion 10 (first pieces 11 to 6 pieces 16) on the bottom portion 42 via the hollow portion 41a of the side portion 41, the board portion 10 is fitted into the hollow portion 41a and the board is formed. The pieces of the part 10 can be joined together.
Therefore, when the board portion 10 is fitted into the saucer 40, it is not necessary to provide the first bonding member 11c1 to the sixth bonding member 16c1 and the first recessed portion 11c2 to the sixth recessed portion 16c2.

The saucer 40 may further include a tilt detection unit 43, a timer 44, and a warning unit 45.
The tilt detection unit 43 detects the degree of tilt of the saucer 40 on which the board unit 10 is placed.
The timer 44 detects whether or not a predetermined time has elapsed from the start time specified by the user.
The predetermined time may be a preset time (for example, 1 minute) or a time manually set by the user.
The warning unit 45 outputs a warning by voice or light when the degree of inclination exceeds a predetermined angle threshold value based on the information from the inclination detecting unit 43.
Further, the warning unit 45 outputs a warning by voice or light when a predetermined time has elapsed based on the information from the timer 44.
By providing the tilt detection unit 43 and the warning unit 45, it is possible to enjoy rolling the ball 20 on the board unit 10 in consideration of the degree of inclination of the board unit 10.
By providing the timer 44 and the warning unit 45, it is possible to enjoy rolling the ball 20 on the board unit 10 in consideration of the elapsed time.
