Abstract: A board game according to the invention comprises a board with for example, four rows of four playing areas onto which each player in turn places a playing piece until at least four are played. Each player also has a second playing piece or plate which is capable of covering all the playing areas except four, these four being visible through apertures in the plate. If a player sees that he can place the plate over the board to show three of his first playing pieces and one of his opponents, then he scores a point. If he is wrong, the attempt counts as a normal turn in the game which then continues.

Abstract: The board game of the invention provides a test of the logical thinking of two players. The board comprises nine playing areas on each of which the first player places a playing piece which he then covers with a shield. The second player has a number of test pieces which include the various characteristics of the playing pieces, with the exception of one characteristic, for example a representation of a treasure chest. By a process of deductive reasoning, the second player tries to locate the playing piece bearing the treasure chest, by first identifying at least some of the other pieces.
