Abstract

885,340. Board games. WITTENBERG, H. Oct. 14, 1960 [July 16, 1959], No. 24498/59. Class 132(2) A word-building race game comprises a board marked as shown with two similar areas 10 each having at its lower end a starting line divided into coloured squares and at its upper end a finishing line (not shown) the intermediate part being marked with blank squares and coloured letter squares. The starting square is determined by a die having coloured faces and the players enter letters in the blank squares to try to make a word using these and the printed letters extending up the track. Next turn, the player starts on the line where the previous word ended, the starting square being again selected by the die. The letters may be written in the blank squares or marked by lettered playing pieces. The board consists of a printed base 1 with a transparent cover 2 secured in place by an edge strip 3. In a modified form, the coloured squares of the starting line are not lettered, the first letter being determined by drawing a lettered block from a pool.
