LIBERTY GAME.
I Applicationfiled December i This invention :relates to games, andmore particularly to :a game-board which comprises a plurality of squares in checker formation, andcoloredzred, white, and blue in the order "of .rotation named. .For playing a patriotic game thereon by means of a plurality of movable :objects, :half of said objectslbein'g colored .red, and the other half blue, :and two of :the objects "of each color side-having a respective formation thereon,
ofthe flagwandithe Constitution.
The principal :object of ,the game is to provide a game -board as specified, which will stimulate and promote patriotic interest in the flag and Constitution, and provides therdesired objective 'of'the game for carryingtlie flag to victory, and upholding the Constitution.
Another objectof the invention which I have :termed Liberty game-is to provide a game board as specified, which is highly instructive,-e ua'lly interestingtoyoung and old alike, ant :onewhich will awaken and stimulate the spirit of patriotism.
Otherobjects of the invention will appear in the following detail description, :and in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 represents .a top plan view of the game board with the movable objects in their respective places thereon.
Figure 2 represents an end elevation "of the'game'board. V
Figures 3 and .4 represent a :detail View f two of the four Iobjects simulating the flag and Constitution respectively.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, =the Liberty gamelcomprises a rectangular board 10 which is provided with sixtyfour (64:) squares thereon in checker formation, and are indicated by the reference character 11. These squares are colored red, white, and blue, in successive rotation, and in the order named. They are adapted for movable placement thereon, of eight (8) objects indicated at 12, which are colored red, and constitute one players side. Two of the said eight objects differ from the remaining six objects, in that the said two objects have an additional formation there on, which represents the flag piece 13 and the Constitution piece 14. The objects for the opposing side which are indicated at 15, are identically the same except that they are colored blue.
Referring again to the colored checker board, it is to be observed that the two 18, 1925. I-Seria1.No.'76;321.
squares 16 on the center :line 'of'the board,
and ateach playing end .17 thereof, .which will :always :present aflred square at the player -s :left, are red and white respectively, and are :provided for jplacementthereon of the fiag piece 13 on the white square 1:13, and the Constitution piece 'l lbon athe :red square 14. The'rema-ining objects or pieces 12 are :placed :to each side of the center pieces .13 and 11 1, and parallelxtherewith. Thezredi and blue objects or pieces nowbeing in position in parallel :formation at each playing side 17, and with :the flag piece 13 and Constitution piece 14, in the center of I each of rthe'two playing sides represented by :the :red and blue objects or game may now be played.
Assuming that the checker :board :is in proper position, with the corner :red square indicated at 14, to the .left of each player, either playerxmaysstartthe gameby moving pieces, the V i any one ofhis objects or pieces toward the I opposing players 'side in color sequence.
' side .17, it is moved :to the next immediate For example. If the .particular object or white square; further, if'the objector .piece to be moved .is on a :bluesquare, itmustbe moved to a red square, causing ttlie :inter-J vening white square in this one movement,
due :to the necessity of following :the colors insequence, red, :white, 'and'blue:
The "playing objects or pieces for this game .may be moved forward, backward transversely, or obliquely, the only conditionibeingathattthey must be smovedin the hereinstated colorsequence. Each object is moved to its next succeeding color in the desired direction, providing there is no object between the object to be moved, and the next color square. compelled to move their respective objects if their path is so blocked. In taking an opponents object offv of the board, the player must land on a same colored square from which he has moved. For example, if a player has one of his objects on a red square The players are not 1 and his opponent has his object on a red square, or a blue square, the player jumps over his opponents object to the next red square and returns his opponents object off of the board. Similarly, one or more objects may be retired simultaneously in this manner.
Referring particularly to the two objects representi the flag and Constitution, and
indicated as l3 and 1d, it is to be noted, tha these pieces or objects cannot be taken off of the board but can be retired to their original stationsor color squares 16, if they have been placed in a position in Which any of the other objects can be forced off of the board. This is also counted a move.
, When the object 1% representing the Constitution has c-een successively moved across the board to its respective red colored stai l on the opponents side, union has then been upheld and ceases to play. Similarly when the object l3represcn ng the has been moved across the board to its respective White color s been carried to victory in all other respects,
and ceases to play.
the hereindescribed gameclosely follows the manner of playing the popular and Well known game of Checkers, and it is to be observed, that While 1 have shown and de-- scribed one practical embodiment of my invention, i donot. in nt myself thereto, ex-
cept as set forth in the claims appended.
hereto.
Vihat I claim is: l. A game board including a checkered surface con'iprising a plurality of colored squares including four objective squares, a phn lity of co 7 two of representation pieces, said first and last named pieces equally divided for placement in a horizontal row on the squares contiguous to the outer playing edge and movable from. said playing edge across said checkcred surface to the last row of squares contiguous to the opposite playing edge of said board. A game board including a checkered ce comprising a plural ty of colored game squares including four objective squares, a
plurality of common pieces, two pair of representation. pieces, said first and last named pieces equally divided for placement in a horizontal row on the squares contiguous to the outer playing edge and movable from said playing edge across said checkered surface to the last row of squares contiguous to the opposite playing edge of squares including 1 four objectivesquares,
said squares providingeight squares from left to right, eight squares from front to back, a plurality of common pieces, tWo pair of representation pieces, said first and last named pieces equally divided for placement, in a horizontal row on the squares OOIltlgL1-' ous to the outer playing edge for intermittent moi' 'ement from said playing edge across said checkered surface to the last roW of squares contiguous to theopposite playing edge of sa d game board.
i. A rectangular game board including a checkered, surface comprising sixty-four squares including four .ob ect1ve squares,
said squares colored red, white, and blue,
