  • Patent number: 5005839
    Abstract: A game apparatus for playing a game in which the players simulate being waitpersons in a restaurant and in which the players take and remember lists of food dishes for later recitation and confirmation as to accuracy includes a board having a playing surface divided into segments, each segment assigned to a different player, each segment having table spaces marked thereon corresponding to tables in a restaurant. A set of table cards corresponding to each of the table spaces is provided and a plurality of order sheets for marking down food dishes being ordered is also provided. The order sheets are of a size smaller than the table cards so that they can be covered from view by the table cards during play of the game. A plurality of markers is provided, one marker associated with each player. The markers are moved around the playing surface to predetermined spaces marked on the playing surface.
