Abstract
The base of a game board is formed by a mount member having a groove having a form containing straight line parts, curved line parts, intersecting parts, and angled parts. The groove forms the traveling path of a traveling toy. Solid bodies containing iron-including materials or magnetic materials are inserted into the groove of the mount member so that the upper surface of the solid bodies are leveled with the upper surface of the mount member. The mount member is affixed to a substrate and covers the entire surface of the substrate. A covering paper is affixed to the mount member and covers the entire surface of the mount member to hide the traveling path. When a traveling toy which is provided with a magnet is driven on the covering paper, the traveling toy runs along and over the solid bodies which are in the groove in the mount member which is covered by the covering paper. The covering paper comprises a jigsaw puzzle and can also be used as a book cover.
