ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for playing a game is provided that includes a plurality of cards or tiles upon one surface of which is formed a representation of a portion of a typically elongate subject, which can be either a plant, animal or inanimate object. The tiles are adapted to be placed upon a flat playing surface of predetermined area such that the tiles when placed adjacent one another form a complete picture of the subject in as realistic a posture as is feasible, utilizing two-dimensional illustrations. The tiles are marked such that the representation has a different indicia at its beginning from that at its end, so that the tiles can be placed in a correlative relationship with regard to the markings on the ends of the representation on each tile. In a preferred embodiment of the game apparatus, the tiles each bear a portion of a representation of a snake and the tiles when placed in correlative relationship on the playing surface form a completed picture of a snake. The tiles are adapted to be placed in overlying relationship to one another so that the final representation of the object crosses over itself to depict as closely as possible, using two-dimensional illustrations, the snake in its naturally occurring state.
