Abstract

841,727. Board games. WILLIAMS, H. Jan. 9, 1959 [Jan. 9, 1958], No. 896/58. Class 132(2). Pieces, e.g. horses are moved along tracks in accordance with the throw of a die, the pieces to be moved being decided by throwing another pair of dice the faces of which are identified with the pieces. As shown, the tracks comprise six lines of holes 2 divided into sets of four holes in each track by lines 3, each set representing one " length". The first die is marked in "lengths" and fractions of a "length". There are six numbered pieces having each a peg to enter a hole 2 and the pair of dice are marked 1 to 6 to correspond (if the same number appears on both dice of the pair, only one piece is moved). The board also has staking areas 8 and a storage space 9 for the pieces.
