Abstract

An apparatus for a game for one or more players based on the relation between groups and sub-groups of data. In the preferred form the game is based on numbers related by mathematical multiplication tables. The apparatus has in the preferred form a display in the form of a representation of a board (10) with an array of discrete locations (11). Each location has assigned thereto a first indicia being a number from 1 up to a base number or a multiple number which is determined by multiplying from 1 up to and including the base number provided the resultant multiple number is greater than the base number. A dice can be used as a means of randomly generating a second indicia, being a number from 1 up to and including the base number. Once a player has thrown the dice, he may select any of the first indicia on the board that is a multiple of that number with the limits defined and can indicate ownership of a selected location by marking that location with a unique colour or ornamentation etc. The array displayed on the board is configured to allow a plurality of possible relationships between two or more locations and the scoring can be based on rules concerning points to be allocated for specific relationships such as, for example, three locations in a row. <IMAGE>
