  • Patent number: 7819404
    Abstract: An Indiana Jones theme board game having a tower supporting a plurality of collapsible stairs mounted in a spiral fashion, a deck of chance cards, dice, and pawns for the players. A tower top is mounted to the upper portion of the tower for rotation and downward vertical movement. A tube is mounted within the tower, and a number of pegs are mounted in the tower wall, one peg supporting a corresponding stair. The tube and pegs cooperate to transmit the rotational and vertical movement of the tower top to the collapsible stairs. The player picks a card and follows instructions printed on the card. During the game, certain cards instruct the players to rotate the tower top, causing openings in the outer wall of the tube to be located adjacent different combination of pegs, the combination being hidden and unknown to the players, such that the next vertical movement of the tower top and the tube results in an unknown combination of stairs to collapse.
