  • Patent number: 5145184
    Abstract: A board game combines elements of chance, strategy, and mental ability to connect or bond a sequence of clues. A triangular game board is divided into three quadrilateral playing areas, each with a peripheral game path consisting of squares or spaces. Each player has three transit pieces, one for each of the three pathways. A category die is rolled to select a particular category or obtain a free roll. There is a set of clueset cards, with each card having on its front face a clueset for each of the categories, and, in addition, a challenge clue set. On the reverse are answers to the category clue sets. The game board folds compactly for storage.
