Abstract
A game board having opposed parallel major surfaces. The board is provided with a plurality of slots individually associated with a like plurality of playing fields. A plurality of game pieces each comprising a pair of indicia bearing bodies joined to each other at one of their ends are also provided. The board and pieces are so constructed as to enable the pieces to be disposed in respective slots with the indicia bearing bodies of each pieces extending in juxtaposed parallel relation to an opposed major surface of the board.
Claims13
Game apparatus comprising in combination a game board of given area and thickness and having opposed substantially parallel major surfaces, a plurality of individual slots through said game board defining a given number of playing fields arranged with respect to each other in a planar array of rows and columns of given areas of the opposed major surfaces of said game board, said major surfaces of said playing fields each having an area less than said given area of said array divided by said given number of said playing fields, material disposed between and interconnecting all adjacent corners of said playing fields in said array;
- and a plurality of game pieces each comprising a pair of indicia bearing bodies, the indicia on a respective one of said pair of indicia bearing bodies of each game piece being the same as the indicia on the respective other one of said pair of indicia bearing bodies of said game piece, and means joining said bodies to each other at one of their ends, said means joining said bodies of each of said game pieces allowing said bodies to extend in mutually parallel planes spaced from each other by a distance at least equal to and not much greater than said given thickness of said game board, at least one of the material forming said interconnected adjacent corners of said playing fields in said array, said means joining said pair of indicia bearing bodies of each of said plurality of game pieces and said plurality of playing fields being flexible.
Game apparatus comprising a planar game board of given length, width and thickness, a planar support pedestal of given length, width and thickness and an elongated inextensible member having a length substantially equal to the total length of the sides and base of an isosceles triangle having a base equal to said given width of said support pedestal and an altitude equal to the total of said given width of said game board and said given thickness of said support pedestal;
- the ends of said elongated inextensible member being joined to form a continuous loop about said game board and said support pedestal with the plane of said game board extending perpendicular to the plane of said pedestal whereby said game board and said support pedestal may be fixed to each other by adjusting the plane of said continuous loop formed by said elongated inextensible member with respect to the planes of said game board and said support pedestal to enable said game board to be supported vertically above a horizontal surface upon said support pedestal.
