  • Patent number: 5826881
    Abstract: A word association game requiring players to match words that are listed on discs that are drawn from a bag is shown and described. The players are dealt subject cards which are then placed in a designated area on their game board. Each player tries to match as many of his discs with a particular category that is found on his board. After the initial round, action cards drawn by the players indicate further actions that the players must take. When a player has completed all of the spaces on his board, he declares his accomplishment to the other players and one half of the other players must agree with his disc associations in order for the player to be declared the winner.
