ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus incorporates a random result generator into the playing surface itself, and includes a game board having a perimeter, a plurality of corners, a plurality of playing sections, and a center area. A boundary extends generally around the perimeter of the playing surface, but interior of the corners. A plurality of section dividing lines, each defining a diminishing-radius curve extending from the boundary towards the center area, divide that portion of the playing surface into a plurality of playing sections, each bearing indicia corresponding to a play result. Players roll game pieces from the playing surface corners towards the playing sections, so that the game piece comes to rest on one playing section, thus generating a result indicia for that roll. The player then draws a single card from the group of cards bearing that same result indicia, and asks the question printed on that card. Each player indicates his own response to the asked question on his score pad, as well as his perception of what he thinks the other players response to that same question would be.
