Abstract
A game method and apparatus is disclosed wherein an ordered matrix is formed and a representation, such as a letter, word, phrase, symbol or picture, is arranged in a representation matrix corresponding to the ordered matrix. The representation is divided into representation matrix sections each corresponding to a part of the ordered matrix and these sections are arranged in a coded order. The section can be a line, a connecting member, or a member bearing a two dimension reproduction of a portion of the representation. The coded order is followed on parts of the ordered matrix to recreate the representation until the representation is recognized. Game apparatus includes a matrix sheet or board and a coded representation card having a plurality of character combinations, each combination designating part of the coded matrix on the sheet or board and corresponding to a section of the representation to be produced thereon. A card holder is provided having a portion adapted to receive the card and a cover portion covering the representation position of the card.
