1981 Shut Out Game by Spears, England. A tense action game with a novel random timer mechanism, triggered by a ball bearing. No batteries required. Very rare vintage game available at tomsk3000.com
Players have to play numbered cards sequentially in a tray after placing a marble into a slot on the game. The marble takes a variable amount of time to emerge as there are numerous internal pathways in the game, when it comes out it triggers a mechanism to close a pair of plastic hands over the game tray thereby "shutting out" everyone. Whoever played the last card before the shut out has to pick up all the cards in the tray.
The first person to exhaust their hand wins.
