ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus for playing a game in which the players simulate being waitpersons in a restaurant and in which the players take and remember lists of food dishes for later recitation and confirmation as to accuracy includes a board having a playing surface divided into segments, each segment assigned to a different player, each segment having table spaces marked thereon corresponding to tables in a restaurant. A set of table cards corresponding to each of the table spaces is provided and a plurality of order sheets for marking down food dishes being ordered is also provided. The order sheets are of a size smaller than the table cards so that they can be covered from view by the table cards during play of the game. A plurality of markers is provided, one marker associated with each player. The markers are moved around the playing surface to predetermined spaces marked on the playing surface. When the predetermined spaces are reached the player can begin taking and reciting orders in order to gain points sufficient to win the game. Preferably, two sets of action cards are provided, bearing messages that affect either the number of points of a player or the position of the player's marker on the playing surface. Preferably, points are kept in terms of dollars and token money, in the form of various denominations, is provided to the players to use in keeping track of the score.
