Abstract

An electronic device for playing a game. The electronic device comprises a touch activated game display and a number display. The game display has a plurality of polygons interfitted to define a multiplicity of intersections formed by adjacent angular portion of contiguous polygons. Each intersection comprises a touch activated pad, and each angular portion of a polygon carries a number. The numbers are initially unlit or not displayed. The game display has inner and outer fields separated by a boundary. When a touch activated pad is touched the numbers in that corresponding intersection are revealed on the game display, and the numbers are stored and displayed on the number display. In playing the game, a player touches a pad in the inner field and touches a pad in the outer field. The more ordered and matched are the numbers from the inner field and the outer field the greater the win. Three matching numbers in the same sequence constitutes the greatest win.
