Abstract: A game for two or more players who compete to guess correct answers in response to the reading of statements provided on associated clue cards. The speed at which a correct answer is provided is related by the rules to the speed of playing piece movement over an associated game board. The clue cards include a correct "answer" sought in response to reading of the individual statements written on the card. The game board is geometrically divided into a playing space for each player. Each playing space is divided into a multi-spaced path to be traveled by the playing pieces, which travel toward a winner's circle defined at the center of the board. Piece movement is generally related to successful answering of the clue card questions. The statements on each clue card all relate to a particular category, such as a person, place, thing or event. Each statement in effect provides a "clue" to the player as to what "answer" is desired.

Abstract: The present invention entails an educational and entertainment card game comprising a deck of fifty-one cards with each card containing the outline of a state and a two letter abbreviation of the state. Two or more players are each dealt five cards and given an option to exchange one card for another card in the deck. Each player then attempts to identify his or her cards by writing and correctly spelling the state represented by each card. The players then write and spell the state names backwards and underline any words contained within the backward spelled states. Finally, the capitol, bird, tree, and flower of each identical state are written down. A designated judge determines a time limit for play and awards points to each individual for correct written information. At the end of the time limit, a new hand is dealt and play continues until a player scores a predetermined number of points.

Abstract: This invention relates to an improved version of my previously patented card game (U.S. Pat. No. 4,234,189) wherein the deck of fifty-two cards is divided as before into four suits of thirteen cards each; however, I now display on each card of each suit a single trump-determining category or genus effective to distinguish each such suit from the other three. In addition, while I retain the alphabetical indicia common to all four suits that is used to distinguish each card in a suit from the other twelve, I now display on each card specific identifying indicia which uniquely distinguishes each card from all other cards in the deck while, at the same time, falling within the particular trump-determining category of the suit within which the card is located. The latter indicia determines the so-called trump word within the trump suit and it can comprise either a word or words or a picture or a word or group of words and matching picture.
