ABSTRACT:
A scratch and smell game for pre-school children which makes use of a playing board on whose front face is printed drawings of different fruits or other odor-producing objects, each having a characteristic smell. At a site adjacent each fruit on the front face is a removable chip seated in a cutout in the board and forming a part of the board, the chips all having the same geometry. Coated on the front face of each chip is a layer of rupturable capsules containing a fragrance whose smell matches that of the particular fruit adjacent thereto. Printed on the rear face of the board are drawings of the same fruits, portions of these printed drawings being included on the rear faces of the chips so that the chips are necessary to complete the drawings. In playing the game, the player first removes all chips from the board and then shuffles them so that their proper sites on the front face of the board are no longer known. He then scratches each chip; and after smelling the resultant fragrance, places the chip in the cutout at that site on the front face of the board which is adjacent the fruit which he believes gives off the same smell. After all chips are scratched and placed, the player turns over the board to examine the drawings on the rear face thereof. The player wins the game only if all of the drawings on the rear face are properly completed by the chips.
