  • Patent number: 4030765
    Abstract: This invention is directed to an apparatus having a number of individual storage compartments for a plurality of game pieces. The pieces are used in a number of board games. Some pieces are unique to one game, and some pieces are common to two or more games. Selection of desired game pieces is obtained by placing a template, with discretely positioned holes cut therein, over the storage apparatus, blocking access to all compartments except those containing the desired pieces for the particular game. Those desired pieces can then be removed either manually or by turning the apparatus upside down allowing the pieces to fall out. The template is then left in place until the pieces are again ready for storage, thus facilitating the replacement of the pieces into their proper compartments in the storage apparatus.
