ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus for playing matching games involving colored pegs wherein two players, one on each of the sides of the apparatus will select four pegs of color and place them in a particular sequence unknown to his opponent. A game board provided has apertures for receiving pegs in horizontal rows so that each player can mark on the game board the peg color and sequence arrangement he guesses to be the arrangement selected by his opponent. The game board then is rotated 180.degree. and each player checks his opponent's lineup of pegs and indicates on the board with additional marking pegs whether the opponent matched the player's colors and/or mated the position of the player's pegs. The board is then rotated 180.degree. again and each player again attempts to deduce or guess the opponent's colors and mate the order of colors on a different line of apertures. Play continues until one player matches both the colors and the order of colors of his opponent.
