ABSTRACT:
A deductive numerical game played by plural (N) players, one of whom is a dealer, includes N sets of first game pieces, each set including a like plurality (M) of game pieces respectively bearing indicia representing consecutive numbers. A second set of game pieces respectively bear indicia representing different cumulative totals equal to the sum of the numbers displayed on J (J is less than M) first game pieces to be selected from the first game piece set of the dealer. The J first game piece set of the dealer defines a match set hidden by the dealer from each other player's view. The dealer selects and displays a second set game piece to inform each player of the cumulative total equal to the sum of hidden indicia displayed within the match set. Each player in turn selects J first game pieces with indicia having a total corresponding to the dealer's second set game pieces cumulative value. The dealer informs each player in turn as to the number of first game pieces correctly selected by the player which corresponds to first game pieces within the match set. One of the players thus reduces the exact combination of first game pieces forming the dealer's match set. One of a third set of game pieces shown by the dealer to all players bears a number corresponding to the number of first game pieces correctly selected by each player.
