ABSTRACT:
A stacker is described for facilitating the play of war games and the like. Such games are played on a game board and cardboard counters are typically used to represent personnel or military hardware. Frequently the counters are stacked on top of one another and need to be moved. To overcome the tendency of knocking over the stacked counters and also to facilitate the evaluation of the counters in the stack, a frame is provided for holding the counters in a vertical, side-to-side orientation. The frame may be moved and both sides of the counters may be displayed to the players if desired or required. In a first embodiment of the invention, the frame comprises a flat base designed to fit within the spaces of the game board and two aligned track members perpendicularly affixed to the base. The counters are held between the two tracks. In an alternate embodiment of the present invention, the track members are replaced by an elongate plastic strip which includes a fold forming clip for supporting the counters.
