Abstract
257,799. McDonald, E. R. Dec. 17, 1925. Board games.-Appliances for playing a wordmaking game of the kind in which blocks bearing letters of the alphabet are assembled upon a board resembling a chequer or draught board comprise a chequer board provided with 169 squares arranged in thirteen rows each containing thirteen squares, and two sets of blocks 11, the sets being of different colours and bearing the twenty-six letters of the alphabet, and all the blocks except those denoting the vowels being provided in addition to the letter, and on the same side, with a figure denoting a numerical scoring value. The board is provided with indications corresponding with the letters on the blocks, for denoting the starting positions of the blocks. The players move alternately and endeavour to place the blocks in the central portion of the board so as to complete a word and at the same time capture the opposing blocks. In a modification adapted for four players, the board has seventeen rows of seventeen squares each and each player is provided with four auxiliary blocks marked merely with a dot. The auxiliary blocks indicate, when played, a repetition of the letter on an adjoining square.
