Abstract
A game of chance wherein there are several rows of spaces, say three, arranged in columns and containing symbols placed at random. All of the spaces are masked to render the symbols invisible. A symbol for the various columns is called out periodically and a player attempts to guess that space in which the symbol called out is located. A successful attempt is called a match. There is an array of further spaces, one for each row and, as the last column is uncovered there is called out a desired relative performance of matches, e.g. "most" or "least," and the player seeks to select that row in which the desired relative performance occurs, based on symbols already uncovered.
Claims4
A game of chance comprising:
- a game card for each player having delineated thereon a plurality of rows of first spaces arranged in columns;
- a plurality of symbols, one marked at random in each first space of a column thereof;
- a removable mask covering each of said first spaces to render a symbol therein invisible;
- one mask in a column thereof being removable by the player in an attempt to uncover that symbol which is called out;
- a successful attempt being deemed a match;
- a group of further spaces equal in number to the number of said rows of first spaces;
- an identification mark adjacent each of said further spaces, each to represent one of said rows;
- a success marking in the further space representing that one of said rows in which occur the desired relative number of matches;
- and
- a removable mask covering each of said further spaces to render a success marking therein invisible so that a player may unmask one of said further spaces in an attempt to uncover the success masking based on symbols in said first spaces previously unmasked.
