ABSTRACT:
A game of skill is disclosed which consists of a playing grille having square shaped openings formed of sheet material of a depth such that the openings are each substantially cubic in dimensions. The grille is supported with the openings disposed horizontally in parallel relation with one opening at the bottom and succeding rows of 3, 5, 7, 5, 3 and 1 openings, respectively. The grille therefore consists of 25 openings, accessible from either side, in an array as just described. The game also includes 25 dice, each of a size just fitting the openings in the grille. The game is played by two players inserting individual dice, in turn, from opposite sides of the grille. Whenever a player inserts a die which produces a sum of three or more dice equal to a multiple of seven, he scores such a sum. The sums of dice may be up-down, sideways or diagonal. The game continues, restarting if necessary, until one player reaches 1000 points (or other agreed score). Bonus points are provided to a player who reaches an exact score of 70 or 700 in the course of play.
