ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a game apparatus preferably named "COIN-O" which includes a plurality of playing boards having words from specific topics arranged in rows and column thereon. Each word has the same number of letters and the letters of each word fall in consecutive columns each column having a numerical value. A plurality of markers are provided to cover the letters on the board. One player called a "banker" picks a card from a deck, each card including a combination of a letter of the alphabet and a numerical value. The players cover the corresponding letters on their boards and the banker covers a corresponding position on a master board having a series of adjacent columns labelled with numerical values and having a consecutive list of the alphabet therein. The playing boards include definitions of the back face thereof defining the words displayed on the front surface of the playing boards. A score card is provided to record the players' scores.
