ABSTRACT:
A tambour game board comprising of a series of adjacent rectangular segments each segment having a top and bottom horizontal surface and two side surfaces each being vertical to the top and bottom surfaces. Each segment consisting of a top surface such as veneer adhesively secured in a unidirectional concavity to the top surface of the substrate. Each segment having a veneered pattern which is an integral part of the whole intended design. Each segment having been cut from a single panel composition veneered substrate being no greater in thickness than 1/8" wherein each segment maintains its planarity or its original relationship to its mated adjacent segment. Each segment in a tight relationship to its mated adjacent segments are adhesively secured unidirectionally to the bottom surface of the substrate by a single sheet of flexible material such as fabric. Wherein, the tambour game board when fully constructed displays the intended pattern of the game and the interface between the mated adjacent segments is virtually without void and therefore when unidirectionally attached to the omni-directional flexible material provides for a board which when in the playing position lays flat and is rigid to provide for a firm and solid playing surface and yet when inverted, rolls or folds to a compact cylindrical shape for portability and or storage.
