A game apparatus (10) includes a plurality of dice (18) and a master cube (20) which is larger than the dice (18). A container (12) for the game (10) has a cover (14) and a base (16), with the cover (14) and the base (16) having tubular peripheral engagement portions (50, 52) to telescopically mate with and frictionally engage each other. The tubular peripheral engagement portions (50, 52) interact in a non-planar configuration, thereby facilitating grasping of the cover portion (50) relative to the base portion (52). The base (16) includes recesses (22, 28, 30) to receive the playing pieces (18, 20) during play, and the cover (14) holds the playing pieces (18, 20) in place in the recesses (22, 28) during storage and transportation. The cover (14) includes a window (94) for viewing the playing pieces (18, 20) through the cover (14). The cover (14) and the base (16) slope the playing pieces (18, 20) and a scoring chart (96) relative to a flat underlying surface (32). The cover (14) is constructed so it can be flipped over and used as a casting chute.
