  • Patent number: 4417732
    Abstract: A puzzle-game consists of a plurality of jig saw-type puzzle boards with identical pictures and puzzle parts for play. The game is played competitively with suitable chance devices, such as dice. The number of playing pieces corresponds to the numbers which can be generated by the chance devices, i.e. eleven pieces where a pair of dice are used in the play. The individual playing pieces are numbered and the spots on the board where the pieces are to be played bear the same respective numbers. The pieces must be played in ascending order of the numbers from three to twelve and finally piece number two. Each player is allowed a predetermined, e.g. three, rolls of the dice on each turn of play to try to roll the number of the next piece to be played. The roll of a double one, i.e. "snake eyes", during play incurs a penalty. The play of the last piece requires the roll of the double one, hence the name of the game "snake eyes".
