ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus for challenging the mental dexterity of two or more players and teaching children readily how to recognize, add and remember monetary sums is disclosed, which uses three cubical members, two main members, one of which has indicia on its faces corresponding primarily to common coins, e.g., 1.cent., 5.cent., 10.cent., 25.cent., 50.cent., and $1; and the other of which has indicia on its faces corresponding to common monetary notes, e.g., $2, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100; and a lead member which has indicia of instructions on its face, e.g., score, no score, and second chance. The members are housed in a box-like container with a transparent top and thrown by the players in sequencial innings, with the individual player's score in each inning being determined by the upper face amount and the instruction. Each player accumulates his score from his innings and the first to reach a specific amount, such as one grand ($1,000), is declared the winner. A second embodiment is further disclosed wherein pictures of the coins or portions of the notes are used as indicia and the lead member has symbols for loss, as well as score, no score, and second chance.
