Equipment for playing a board game is disclosed. The equipment includes a modified checkerboard having a plurality of apertures therein, two sets of courier pegs adapted to move on the checkerboard and fit into the apertures, and a pair of key markers dimensioned to fit over the courier pegs. Each player has a key marker and the object of the game is to get the key marker from one side of the checkerboard to the other by moving from courier peg to courier peg.

Board game

A game board apparatus is disclosed for playing a variant of the game of checkers. The game board is similar to a checkerboard, having alternating light and dark colored squares or alternatively, plain and textured squares. Unlike checkers, however, the two center rows of the game board are replaced by a channel adapted to receive two rows of vector tiles therein. The vector tiles alter the normal movement of playing pieces thereon. A piece landing on a vector tile is constrained to move only in the directions indicated by the particular directional indicia on the tile. At the start of each game, the vector tiles are removed from the channel and replaced in a different order thereby to vary the movement constraints for the next game.

Game board apparatus

A mailbox having a platform for receiving mail and a cover for providing weather protection is disclosed. The cover is pivotably mounted to the center of the platform and may be opened by a latch on either side thereof. When either latch is opened, the cover rotates to provide access to the platform, and the latch on the opposite side drops free of the platform.

Mailbox

A device for growing houseplants is disclosed. The device is adapted to extend from a window such that the plants provided therein receive adequate sunlight. The device is enclosed on all sides extending from the window to protect the plants from exposure to temperature excesses. The rear of the box is open and communicates with the interior of a room to maintain the plants at a temperature substantially equivalent to the indoor temperature. The device is provided with a pull-out drawer to provide easy access to the plants and vents for permitting outside air to enter the device. Flexible baffle curtains are provided so that the entire window area through which the planter box extends may be closed off from the outside.
