  • Patent number: 4566698
    Abstract: A competitive character identification game comprising a game board with start and finish blocks, and intermediate play blocks, along with resumes and cards containing biographical clues to as well as the identity of different real and fictional characters. The resumes are stored in a clue box which contains clue windows for presenting the various clues contained on individual resumes. As the players move about the game board using a chance device to determine the number of spaces, clue windows are opened during each turn, revealing additional information about a particular character. During a later stage of the game, the cards are used, each one containing several clues about a particular character. During the game, the players compete to progress from the starting block to an end game block on the game board by identifying characters. Playing tokens are used to identify a player's location on the board in the course of playing the game. Chips are issued to individual players at various points in the game.
