Abstract
Game apparatus including a game board having a layout with sequential positions defining a path along which a game member is moved in response to the random positioning of a rotary member indicator having a rotary drum mounted horizontally in an open-topped boxlike member, a table incorporating the game board and including space for cards representing each position on the game board, compartments for storing markers which are moved from position to position by the players and compartments for retaining cards representing each position moved to by the players. The objective of the game is to land on all of the possible positions on the game board with the first to collect all of the cards representing each of the positions being the winner of the game. A card holder is included for supporting the collected cards in a convenient viewing position.
Claims5
A game apparatus comprising a game board having a plurality of sequentially arranged stations around the periphery thereof, a plurality of start positions in the center of the game board, and directive stations intermediate each start position and at least one of the sequentially arranged stations, a plurality of position markers for movement by the players along the path of movement, a plurality of game cards each identifiable with one of the stations on the path of movement, a game table with a table top for use with the game board, game cards, and position markers, said game table having an open storage compartment adjacent each of the sequentially arranged stations around the periphery of the game board when the game board is positioned on the table top, a flat surface in the center of the table top for supporting a game board, a closed storage compartment adjacent each corner of the table top and having a movable closure to permit storage of the game cards and position markers during storage of said game table, a chance device incorporated in the table top, said chance device having a rotary drum pivotally supported in a horizontal position in an opening of the table and having areas distributed around the circumference of the drum with each area identified by a number and an indicator means for pointing to the drum whereby a player may utilize the chance device by spinning the drum and observing which area the indicator means points to when the drum stops to determine the number of moves which the player should make in the particular turn.
A game apparatus comprising a game board having a plurality of sequentially arranged stations constituting a playing path around the periphery of the game board with each of said stations identified by a different particular category of good, a plurality of player starting positions in the center of the game board, and directive stations intermediate each start position and at least one of the sequentially arranged stations, a plurality of position markers for movement by the players along the playing path, said directive stations causing a player to move to a particular station on the periphery of the game board when a position marker lands on a directive station, a plurality of game cards each identifiable with the indicia corresponding to one of said categories of goods on said stations on the playing path, a chance device which may be utilized by a player to determine the number of moves to make in a particular turn and an open storage compartment adjacent each sequentially arranged station around the periphery of the game board to hold the game cards whereby the player first collecting a card for each station wins the game.
