I never actually owned it, I just remember the commercials for it. It was apparently a fortune-telling kind of game. It had a big moving plastic eyeball in the middle of the board. The board itself, IIRC, tilted causing the eye to rotate. The eye, I think, served as a kind of pointer and the players picked up cards or tiles based on where they eye was “looking.” Anybody else remember this game or is it another product of my diseased mind?
