  • Patent number: 5342060
    Abstract: A game primarily comprised of four sided playing pieces marked with six different patterns of four distinct indicia. Each playing piece will be identical in shape and size and will have the unique property of having a concealed surface on each of the four sides that will be visible to only one player at one time. A challenge is presented when each player attempts to recreate a pattern of indicia visible to them using the same pieces that the other players are also using at the same time on a common playing surface.
