Abstract
The disclosure is of a game which comprises a planar sheet having an upper playing surface with designated playing zones. A plurality of indicia is mounted on designated zones of the playing area. A plurality of game pieces are provided, one per each of the indicia. The game pieces are marked to correspond to the indicia which they represent. Additional game pieces are provided which do not bear indicia corresponding to the indicia on the playing surface. Also a game piece is provided designated with a winning symbol. A means is also provided for randomly selecting one of the game pieces. In operation, from two to four players, in a designated order, randomly select game pieces. If the game piece selected corresponds to indicia on the playing surface assigned to that player, the player receives credit for such selection. After receiving credit for all of the indicia assigned to that player, should the player then select the winning game piece, he is acclaimed as the winner of the game. The game is recreational in nature but also assumes an educational function in that it can be used to train players to calculate probabilities of selecting desired game pieces.
