- 'STATES HENRY WISOHHUSEN, QF MALDEN, AND EMILY A. WISCHHUSEN, OF EVERETT, MASSACHUSETTS.
GAME BOARD.
Application led January 28, 1922. Serial No. 532,521.
To all whom z't may concer/n.'
Be it known that we, HENRY WIsoH- HUSEN and EMILY A. WIsoHHUsEN, citizens of the United' States, residing at Malden and e Everett, respectively, in the-county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented' certain new and useful Im rovements in Game Boards, of which the fo lowing is a specification. l
The object ofthis invention is the devising of a game board which shall bear the representations of substantially all the cards of a deck, and which can be played by means of counters or men controlled by dlce or other le number designating means.
The game to which we show the invention as applied is of the well-known parcheesi `type, the various movement-spaces on such a game-board bearing the representations of the different members of a deck of cards.
The drawing forming part of this specification illustrates a game-board embodying our invention, a part thereof being represented as broken away.
As in a parcheesi game, the board l is provided with a central space 2 usually termed l1ome, and spaces 3 at the corners for the counters 4 before entering their turn upon the course, and for the dice 5.
Between the home 2 and each edge of the board is a series of blank spaces 6 having at each side of such row of spaces 6 an equal number of spaces 7 each bearing the representation of some one of the cards of a deck, w the number of the spaces being such that, in-
cluding the spaces between adjacent corners of the rows 7 in which is located the representation of a ca rd 9, every one of the entire fifty-two is shown. We a so indicate in the home 2 the joker 10, in order to provide for the deck of fifty-three which many players desire to have.
Instead of the four men usually apportioned to each player in parcheesi, we prefer e5 to provide five, but in many other ways the game is similar thereto. The men are entered on the spaces bearing the ace nearest each player, each manor counter 4 being allowed to be entered upon such space when his player has thrown a pair of dice which show five spots. After acounter has thus been entered it can be moved to other spaces in accordance with further throws of the dice. For example, if a pair of dice turn up a four and a five, the entered counter can' be moved along nine spaces, or if the player has two counters entered, he can move one four spaces and the other live; and so on around the board until home is reached. In these respects, the game is played substantially like parcheesi, the main difference consisting in the scoring.
No man can enter a space already occupied, and if the numberv thro-wn would bring a man to an occupied space, then it must be returned.
The principle of the game is to scoreas often as posslble before the men reach the home path 6, the degree of each score depending upon which of the various cards the men have rested. What we prefer is to have the scoring done according tothe rules of poker. For example, the score for a royal flush 100, straight flush 90, 4 of a kind 80, full house 70, flush 60, straight 50, etc.-
The player having man on ace of hearts, another on ace of diamonds and yanother on ace of clubs has 3 of a kind and is entitled to score 40.
The player first bringing all'his men home concludes the game, and scores are to vbe added to decide the winner.
What we claim is:
A game board comprising a central home space, and rows of spaces surrounding and leading to the same, certain of said spaces bearing the representations of playing-cards employed in the game of poker, whereon counters are moved according to throws of dice to rest upon certain of said spaces, said spaces being held to score an amount relative to that which playing cards score in the game of poker.
In testimony that we cla-im the foregoing invention, we have hereunto set our hands this 27th day of January, 1922.
HENRY WISCHHUSEN. EMILY A. WISCHHUSEN.
