Abstract
A game card for playing rounders or bingo. The game card comprises a matrix having a plurality of polygons interfitted to define a multiplicity of intersections formed by adjacent angular portions of contiguous polygons. Each angular portion of a polygon carries a number or a blank with no number. Alternatively, the game card may also be used for promotional purposes by covering the intersections and numbers surrounding the intersections with a removable opaque coating.
Claims8
A game apparatus comprising:
- a game card means, the game card means comprising a matrix with numerical indicia and blanks thereon, the matrix having a generally closed perimeter having therein a plurality of intersecting lines defining a plurality of interconnected two and three-line peripheral and three-line internal interstices, each of said interstices having a plurality of angular portions, said numerical indicia and blanks being randomly selected and disposed on the angular portions of each of said interstices, wherein each angular portion either carries a numerical indicia or a blank with no indicia, wherein any interstice forms a random combination of numbers and blanks.
A method of playing a game comprising the steps of:
- a. obtaining a game apparatus, said game apparatus including a game card means, said game card means including a matrix with numerical indicia and blanks thereon, the matrix having a generally closed perimeter having therein a plurality of intersecting lines defining a plurality of interconnected two and three-line peripheral and three-line internal interstices, each of said interstices forming a plurality of angular portions, said numerical indicia, and blanks being randomly selected and disposed on the angular portions of each of said interstices, each angular portion either carrying a numerical indicia or a blank with no indicia, wherein any interstice forms a random combinations of numbers and blanks;
- b. designating a desired path of contiguous interstices as a victory;
- c. generating and calling out a plurality of random combinations of numbers corresponding on the game card device;
- d. specifically denoting each interstice which has a random combination of numbers identical to a randomly generated combination of numbers is called;
- and
- e. when the desired path of contiguous interstices is denoted, determining a winner.
A game card comprising a generally planar surface having a matrix printed thereon, said matrix including a plurality of polyons interfitted to define a multiplicity of interstices formed by adjacent angular portions of contiguous polygons, a plurality of numbers and blanks being randomly disposed on said angular portions, wherein each angular portion either carries a randomly selected number or blank with no number, said game card further including a face card overlying said game card, said face card having a plurality of removable segments in registration with the interstices and the numbers and blanks associated therewith.
