Abstract: A rollable game playing piece, and a method of an individual utilizing the playing piece in playing games. A rigid body disc has a top surface provided as a friction surface, and has a number of casters or the like affixed inside and upwardly of its bottom for mounting the body disc so that it is stable and freely rollable over a flat surface. The playing piece has a substantially non-planar hemispheric profile across the entire top thereof. An individual engages the top friction surface with one of his feet, and propels the playing piece toward a net by flexing his leg at the knee and/or hip to apply a force to the playing piece, and then releasing engagement of his foot with the top surface of the playing piece.
