  • Method of playing game using playing cards, grab items and body appendages
    Patent number: 6296253
    Abstract: A unique game involving card playing, quickness, and costumery. The game combines elements of the card game “Fish” in that part of the object is to accumulate a complete set of like cards. The game also incorporates aspects similar to “Musical Chairs” in that when a certain event occurs, e.g., when one of the players accumulates a complete set of like card, all of the players grab for a grab item. With one less grab item being available than the number of players, one of the players will not get one. Players unable to grab a grab item are penalized by sequentially being required to put on and wear funny items such as fake pig's noses and ears.
