An apparatus and method for playing a game of skill has a base member with a surface and a vertical axis. An orbital pathway is formed on the base surface, and a handle is attached to the base. A top member has a vertical axis and a spindle that extends along the vertical axis. The spindle rides in the orbital pathway as the top member rotates about the vertical axis of the top member. The top member travels along the orbital pathway making an orbit about the vertical axis of the base member each time the top member passes the handle. A game played with the apparatus has as its object keeping the top member spinning to obtain the highest number of orbits. There may be more than one orbital pathway and the top member may be hopped from one pathway to another to increase speed and total number of orbits.
