  • Patent number: 4373732
    Abstract: A travel game includes polyhedron-shaped blocks (12) (usually cubed) having indicia (29) on all but one side (28a-e) thereof representing scenes commonly viewed along routes of travel. Also included on each of these sides (28a-e) is a number which represents the improbability (and therefore difficulty) of viewing the respective scene represented by the indicia thereon, with the easier-to-view scenes having lower numbers, and the harder-to-view scenes having higher numbers. The game also includes a compartmented retainer board (10) having compartments (14) for supporting the blocks (12) in rows (16) and columns (18) while prominently displaying one side of each of the blocks to game players. The game players can easily reorient the blocks (12) within their respective row and column positions to display other sides.
