ABSTRACT:
A game that is usually played by two to four persons and requires memorization, generally by association, of certain predetermined facts to be successful at winning. The game apparatus comprises a board which defines a playing field having marked squares defining a continuous path or course extending about the board, a plurality of numbered memory cards or a memory list, four colored playing pieces, a clock, dice, a deck of luck cards and a number of marker cubes. The board squares include numbered squares which carry written or graphic indicia and which correspond numerically to the memory cards, luck squares which are associated with the luck cards and opportunity squares. When a player lands on a square, the square is then his and is marked by one of his marker cubes. The opponents are given one minute to memorize the corresponding memory card, which provides assorted and variable information such as a state and its capitol and sometimes an illustration of the information. The information to be recalled may be memorized by association with indicia on the corresponding number square or may be memorized by association with the illustration (where provided) on the memory card. If an opponent thereafter lands in the controlled square the player who controls it can request that the opponent recall the information on the corresponding memory card and also one other memory card corresponding to another square controlled by the player. When memory cards have on them illustrations, a player asked to recall said card is allowed to see the illustration. Failure to recall on the part of any player requires that player to restart.
