rrinononn mwrsor, or 13mm, nn'muso'ra.
Application filed April 16, 1925. Serial lo. 28,565.
. To all whom it concern.
Be it known that I, THEODORE KNUTSON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fertile, in the county of Polk and State of Minnesota, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Games, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in games, and particularly to a game using blocks and cards in associated and cooperative relation for playing the game.
An object of the invention resides in providing a game box formed of a pair of separable sections'hinged together on one edge for receiving a plurality of blocks of cube form and provided with suitable indicia on the opposite faces thereof, with which are associated playing cards having indicia thereon similar to the indicia on one face of the blocks, so that the cards may be used for determining the position of the blocks in the box to produce the result of the game played.
The invention includes other objects and improvements in the playing of games which are more particularly pointed out in the following description and claims directed to a preferred form of the invention, it being understood, however, that various combinations and variations may be made, in the playing of the game, without departing from the splrit or scope of the invention as described and claimed herewith.
In the drawings, forming part of this application s Figure 1 is a view of the box having the sections opened out, and one side shown as provided with a group of the blocks placed as a result of playing the game with the cards.
Figure 2 is a view, similar to Figure 1, in which the blocks have been turned over into the opposite section of the box, for dis-v cooperation in opposed relation. This cooperative relation of the sections 1 and 2 is illustrated in' Figure 3 of the wherein it will be seen that the blocks 4 in the form of cubes are of a size to fit between the'backs of the sections in this relation.
On one face, each of the blocks is provided I with suitable indicia, indicating a number or a letter for identifying the block, or if desired a combination of number and letter indicia may be used, such as indicated at 5, in Flgure 1,- while the opposite face of each block is provided with word indicating indicla as illustrated at 6, in Fgure 2, the remaining spaces being left plain.
Of these blocks, there are provided two groups, one of which is provided with plain uncolored surfaces, while the other group of blocks have the faces thereof colored as indicated at 7. Two groups of cards, Indicated at 8 and 9 respectively, in Figures 4 and 5 respectively are provided, and each card is marked with the indicia 5, corresponding with each of the blocks used, the cards corresponding with the plane groups of blocks having plain or white surfaces, while the other roup of cards for the colored group of bloc s are provided with similar colored surfaces, as illustrated in Figure 5. The two different groups of cards and blocks are rovided, so that the game may be played y placing the blocks in two d1rections in the box section to add drawings,
difliculty to the game, requiring thought, in
order to properly arrange the blocks of both series, to fill the box sections defined by the bar member completely, in order to complete a particular game. ,1
In addition to the above grou s of blocks, there are provided a group of books having black faces as illustrated at 10, in Figure 2. A bar member 11 is provided for insertion transversely between the sides 'of the box sections, as illustrated in Figures 1 and 2 to form the bottom side of the uzzle space.
With the box blocks and t e ieces above described, and it being desire to play a game with this apparatus, .the cards are placed in a pack, and thoroughly shufiled in the usual manner, and laced on their backs, and from the cards w ch are drawn in succession by the player using the ame for telling the fortune of another. A Flack block is always placed in the corner where the game is started, and upon the drawing of the first card, if the same is white, for instance, the card indicated by the indicia 1 A, all of'the blocks having an A designation thereon are picked out of the assem- 5 bled blocks which are all turned to indicate their indicia as illustrated, in Figure 1, and the same are placed in the order illustrated.
either transversely across the top of the the box, all subsequent light blocks will be placed consecutively across the box. The pro ssion is made downwardly, as a cross section is filled up, to the next succeeding row below. If a red card is drawn, such as is indicated at 9 in Figure5 the blocks of this group are placed in the box, in an angular direction with respect to the blocks of the other group,'and in the present case are placed longitudinally of the box section. The cards are successively drawn, until a s ace designated by the bar 11 is entirely filled with blocks to form the result desire to tell the fortune of the player.. After drawin each card and the placing of the blocks in the group in proper relation, as illustrated, a black block is'always placed at the end of the group, in the manner as shown in Figure 1, and the next oup drawnwill be placed starting with the lank space adjacent the last black block.
After a section of the box defined by the bar 11 is filled with the blocks, as illustrated in Figure 1, by the drawing of the cards successively, in the manner above set forth, the section 1 of the box is closed onto the section 2, as illustrated in Figure 3, and the same turned over, after which the secleaves the b ocks in the section'l of the box displayin% the opposite faces from that shown in igure 1. On these opposite faces are the letter characters designating words as at 6, and as shown in Fi re 2 combine to form sentences for indicating the fortune of the player for whom the cards were tion 2 is 0 en from the section 1, which drawn, and which show the result and objective of the game.
s It will be seen from the-above descri tion that a novel form of game is provide for fortune telling purposes, in which innumerable combinatlons of sentences will be made,- by the relation of the drawing of the cards, every card indicates one sentence and shows how many blocks 'each sentence shouldhave.
What ls'claimed is:
1. A game of the class described comprising a box formed of a pair of mating sections hinged together at one side for cooperation in opposed relation, a-bar member for dividing said box into predetermined sections, and a plurality of cubic blocks;
rovided with indicating indicia on one ace and other indicia on the opposite face, and controlling means for determining the sition of the blocks in one section of the x determined by said bar member. 1
2. A game of the class described, com- 7 prising a pair of duplicate box forming sections hinged together for cooperation in opposed relation, a bar member ada ted for positioning transversely of said K sections to divide off predetermined ortions thereof, a plurality of cubic block e ements, predetermined of said block elements bemg arranged in groups, and means for distinguishing the blocks of each group, said grou s'of block elements being provided on one ace with indicating indicia and on the opposite face with suitable word indicia, a plurality of black spacing blocks, and a change controlled means formed with duplicate indications of all of said indicia in both of the groups of blocks and o erable to control the positioning of the bloc in said box sections.
3. A game of the class described compris-. ing a box formed of a pair of mating sections hinged together at one side for cooperation in op osed relation, and a plurality of cubic bloc provided with indicating indicia on one face and other indicia on the opposite face and controlling means for determining the position of the blocks in one section of the box.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.
THEODORE KNUTSON.
