Abstract

Toy top kits may include a spindle (12) having a lower end (20) configured to engage a surface, an upper end (22) having a first coupling portion (30), and a plurality of mounting sites (24), one or more weight members (16) each configured to be removably mounted to a mounting site, and one or more caps (14) each having a top surface (40), a bottom surface (42), configuration indicia, and a second coupling portion adapted to releasably engage the first coupling portion. Tops may be assembled by engaging a randomly selected cap with the upper end of a spindle and mounting weight members to the spindle according to the configuration indicia of the selected cap. Assembled tops may be spun simultaneously on a play surface, and the score corresponding to the top that remains spinning longest may be incremented.
