  • Patent number: 5090706
    Abstract: Game apparatus including a game board having a central manually rotatable disk with color selection indicia thereon and a circular track surrounding the disk and having a plurality of division spaces thereon to define the playing path for each of the players. A set of dice are used, each die being uniformily colored with a different color such that each die corresponds to a color of the selection disk. The pre-selected numbering of each die are such that a non-transitive relationship exists between the dice. To define this relationship, a competive throwing of die is played where one player picks a die, then an opposing player picks a die from the remaining set of dice which both dice are thrown with the winner being the player who's die displays the higher number. Regardless of which die the first player picked, the opposing player can always pick a die having approximately a two-thirds probability of winning.
