UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDWARD S. SACKETT, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.
GAME.
SPECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 275,526, dated April 10, 1883.
l Application filed December 9, 1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, EDWARD S. SAGKETT, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Game Apparatus, ot' which the following is a specification.
My inventionv consists in a box divided by partitions into six compartments. 1n each compartment are four blocks. Each block is numbered, four being numbered l, four numbered 2, four numbered 3, four numbered 4, four numbered 5, and four numbered 6. The
blocks having the same number are placed.
in the same compartment, there being in this Way four blocks to each compartment. The blocks are to be placed in one end ot' the box and moved to the other. The game is intended for two players, the object being, after a number has been selected to count as game, for the blocks to be moved, one at a time, alternately by the players. The number on each block after it has been moved is added to the numbers on the blocks that have been previously moved until the number selected to count as game is reached. The interest consists in choosing such blocks in moving as that whatever your opponent moves he will be prevented from making the number counted. for game.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view with the cover ot' the box removed, showing the blocks in the position they occupy before a game is commenced'. view, showing the blocks'in position after a game has been played; and Fig. 3 is an end view, showing the box in section at the line x x, Fig. 1.
c is a box, of rectangular shape,divided into six compartments by the partitions b. Into these compartments are placed the numbered blocks c. d is the cover of the box.
The partitions b extend longitudinally from one end of the box a to the other, and are permanently secured therein by glue or otherwise.
The box a, cover d, and partitions b may be made of any suitable material; but I prefer to make the same of thin wood or pasteboard, as least expensive. I also prefer to make the numbered blocks of wood; but they may be made of any other suitable material and of any desired shape.
It will be seen thatagreater number of compartments and blocks may be used, and any desired number may be selected to count asy Fig. 2 is asimilar' game; but I prefer to use six compartments and twenty-four blocks, as shown, and to fix the number thirty one to count for game. With this number selected to count as game, the object of each player is to gain thirty-one, or nearer thirty-one than his opponent, without going over that number. For example, the numbered blocks being placed in the lefthand end of the box c, suppose one player moves one of the blocks numbered 6 to the right-hand end of the box a, and his opponent moves one numbered 4, and then the first player moves a block numbered 5, and his opponent one numbered 2, and so on until the sum of thenumbersreachestwenty-four. Now, at this point, if one player moves a block numbered, making the sum thirty, his opponent will move a block numbered 1, and thus win the game by securing thirty-one; but if the" blocks numbered 1 have been previously exhausted, then the player moving the block numbered G will win the game by counting thirty, as hisopponent will not be able to play, because there is no block he can move without making the sum total more than thirty-one.
I am aware that an arithmetical game apparatus has before been made, consisting of a series of twelve trays having handles and con- Vtaining several rows of numbered blocks, the
said trays being laid side by side in a flat box, as shown in Letters Patent No. 227,159, dated May 4t, 1880.
I claim as my invention- 1. A game apparatus consisting of a shallow box divided into compartments by partitions extending longitudinally from one end of the box to the other, and permanently secured therein, each compartment containing numbered blocks, substantially as shown and described.
2. The hereinbefore-described game apparatus, consisting of a shallow box, c, of rectangular shape, divided into six compartments by the partitions b, extending longitudinally from one end ofthe box to the other and permanently secured therein, and four numbered blocks in each compartment, substantially as shown, and for the purpose specified.
Signed by me this 24th day of November, A. D. 1882.
EDWARD S. SACKETT.
