  • Patent number: 4095799
    Abstract: Game apparatus including a game board having slots simulating the rungs on a ladder. Each rung has indicia associated therewith corresponding to a corporate job category. Chips are selected from a container which bear indicia corresponding to one of the job categories. A sheet provided with the apparatus assigns a monetary value to the chip selected by a player, who notes this amount and places the chip in the corresponding rung of the gameboard. The player who accumulates the highest monetary total at the end of the game is declared the winner. The chips contain indicia determining the number of turns a player may take in selecting chips. By viewing the number of chips previously selected in each category and being advised of the total number of chips available in each category by checking the chip sheet, a player can determine his chance of success in selecting a high value chip.
