In order that five or six players may use the game board [0, there is provided a pair of aux-'- iliary, substantially rectangular strips of suitable material 65 each of which is divided into twelve areas 62 having the letters C, O, M, B, I: N, A, T, I, 0377 N, S.
The present game apparatus includes a pair of dice 54 of conventional design that respectively include the numbers fl-6 inclusive or their equivalent.
The term perfect combinations which will later be employed in the rules of the game consists of the number 7 which may be made three ways with the dice, namely, a 4 and a 3; a
"5 and a 2, or a 6 and a 1, and the number 11 which may be made one way with the dice, namely, a 6 and a 5. The above mentioned numbers *7 and 11 are also referred to as starters. It should be noted, that when the dice 54 are positioned so that the one spot or number 1 of each faces up, the term, fourteen will be used to properly define such a positioning of the dice.
The Plus and Minus rules used in this game are taken from mathematics and more particularly, algebra, so that like signs are added and unlike signs subtracted, to obtain the combination of 7 or 11. The numbers possible to roll on the dice withvthe exception of 7, 11 and fourteen are divided into Plus and Minus numbers. The Minus numbers being 3, 4, 5 and 6 or the numbers below 7., and the Plus numbers are 8, 9, l0, and 12" or the numbers above '7. This is the reason for want list, deuce in the hole, and gold mine cards containing Plus and Minus numbers to be used in connection with the number rolled on the dice.
The object of the present game is for a "player to roll the combination of '7 or 11 on the dice or to draw a card from one of the stacks that added to or subtracted from the number rolled on the dice will give a combination of 7 or '11.
I And by so doing entitle him to draw a cover Rules of play In orderto play the game, the-board I is placed on a table and allcards 48, -46, 56, 52, 54, 56 and 58 are shuflied and placed on their respective areas, namely, areas 44, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40 and 42 with the numbersthereon facingdo-wnwardly. Each player chooses a game piece 66 and an area having the letters C, O, M, B, I, N, A, "T," 1, HO," HN'" S-U player in front of the starting point I 8 rolls the dice and'if he rolls a 7 or-ll he starts his game piece 66 into play by moving that number of spaces, and draws the top card from the cards 46 on the area 44 and places it any place he chooses on his playing area C "0, M, B, I, (N)? A, T, I, O, N, fls starting player does not roll the combination of '7 or 11 the turn goes to the starting players left. Each players moving piece 66 is put into play when he rolls 7 or 11.
Thereafter when a player rolls a '7 or "11 he does not move his game piece but draws a card from area 44, and the turn goes to the next player. When a player rolls any other number he moves his game piece or token that number of spaces and draws a card from whatever name of the zone in path [6 he lands on. For example, a player rolls a 9, he moves his token nine spaces and say for instance he lands on pinch hit zone 36 he-draws a card from the stack of cards 56.
The rules and purpose of each stack of cards are explained separately below.
Combination cover cards The player draws the top card each time. These cards have numbers of difierent denominations and letters contained in the word combinations. These cards are drawn as explained by the roll of 7 or 11, or by drawing a card from the cards in gold mine area 36, the deuce in the holes area 40, or want list area 34, that gives '7 or 11. Also by drawing a card from the pinch hit area 42 that has the same numbers as rolled on the dice. If theplayer chooses, he places a C over the C space or area, 0 over the 0 space, etc. By doing so it doubles the value of the card. It is not always possible to place the cards on the corresponding letters so a player can place them wherever he chooses but once placed it cannot be moved in order to increase the value of the card.
B onus If a player lands on bonus zone 20, he draws the top card from the stack of cards in area 32 and keeps it. If during play he draws three (3) bonus cards 46 he returns them to the bottom of the cards 48 and draws a card 46 from the area 44 and places it on his C," O, M, B, "I, N, A, TI I, no," "N." S. bonus cards held at the end of the game are added to this score.
Want List The object of want list zone 22 is to direct a player to draw a card that added to or subtracted from the number rolled on the dice will give a combination of '7 or 11, thus entitling the player to draw a cover card. The player draws the top card from the 'area 34. Bearing in mind that 3, 4, and 6, rolled on the dice are minus numbers and that 8, 9, 10, and "12 are plus numbersiand that like signs are added and unlike signs subtracted. Thus if a player rolleda 4 on the dice and drew a 3 from-the stack it would be added; -4 plus i 3 equals 7; and entities theplayer to draw a card 46 from the bank area 44; If a player rolled "8 on the dice and'drew a plus 3 he would add, +8 plus +3 equals "11," entitling the player to draw a card 46 from the bank area 44. If a player rolled 10 on the dice and drew a -3 from the stack of cards 46 he wouldsubtract, +10 minus -3 equals '7, entitling the player to draw a'card from the stack of cards 46. If the combination of 7 or "11 is made or if it is not, the card is returned to the bottom of the stack and the turn goes to the next player.
Deuce in the hole Gold mine The cards 52 are used in the same manner as want list cards 50 and deuce in the hole 54 with this exception; the top card is drawn and if itdoes not give the combination desired to make '7 or 11 with the dice, it is kept to beused with future plays. Any time it will make the 7 or11 desired to draw a card 46 from area 44 it is used and returned to the bottom of the stack. A player may possess two gold mine cards 52 at the same time and use either one that will give 7 or 1-1. For example; a player possesses a card with a 5 on it. At his turn to play he rolls a "6 on the dice. The 5 plus 6 equals 11, he has the desired combination and draws a card 46 from area 44, but does not move his token or game piece. The gold mine cards 52 are returned to the bottom of the stack when used or when a natural "7 or 11? is rolled on the dice even though the card was not used.
Pinch hit To add variety, these cards 56 do not contain plus or minus numbers, and the purpose of these cards are to permit a player to draw or attempt to draw the same number as rolled on the dice. For example, if a player rolls a 12 and lands on the area 30 or pinch hit area 36 in path I6. he draws a card 56 from area 42 and if the drawn card is 12 he is entitled to draw a card 46 from the bank area 44. The player then returns the card to the bottom of the stack of cards 46.
. Blackanm'e If a player lands on black annie zone 26 he draws the top card of the stack of-cards58 on the area 38 and keeps it. If during the playhe draws (4) four black annie cards 58, he returns them to the bottom of the stack and forfeits one of his cover cards 46 from his C," 03' M, B, I, N, A, HT," 11in no," N, 511' (a cover card of the players choice). Any black annie cards 58 held at the end of the-game are subtracted from a players score. There is one other way to get a black annie card which is explained under fourteen.
Fourteen When a player rolls a fourteen" he must take a cover card 46 from another -players C,= 0," M, B, I, N,- A, T, I31 HO." N, 66s,. He chooses whatever card he wants from any player. For example, if he chooses a card from over the O and the letter 0 is on the card the player rolling fourteen; keepsthecard and Q, lf? 55,..7-3116 if the card, on the t ele ter- N orany other letter except an "O on it, the card is returned to the player from whom it was takenand that player draws a bonuscard. 43 and the player who rolled fourteen =draws-'a black annie card 58 as a penalty.
End of'gamc Add all the cards together remembering that cards bearing letters placed on the corresponding letter space counts double and all others count at face value. Bonus cards are added to the score and black annie cards are subtracted to get the total score for a player. For example,
' if C40 was placed on the C it counts 80, but if C40 was placed on B it counts 40.
