ABSTRACT:
A game board bearing indicia defining a plurality of adjoining game spaces, a plurality of sets of distinctive markers for placing in the spaces to progressively outline design patterns allotted to the various game players by radomly drawing game cards bearing the patterns, and design pattern-making pads, score-keeping pads and game rules. In accordance with the method of play, order of play by the players is first determined, then the individual design patterns are drawn by card by the players, after which each player secretly determines where to outline the selected pattern on the game board and secretly records that selection on a pattern-recording sheet. Thereupon, each player, in turn, places a marker on a space on the game board in order to progressively complete that player's pattern. Points are awarded for first finishing a pattern, blocking another player's pattern and first reaching an intersection of patterns. The player who first accumulates a predetermined point total or completes a pattern wins.
