Word game

Abstract

Abstract A board game comprising a board subdivided laterally and longitudinally into squares, each square being dimensioned to accommodate one of a plurality of tiles thereon. The tiles are classified into three sets of different color, the tiles of one set each bearing a numeral designation from 0 to 9, the tiles of a second set each bearing an arithmetrical operator designator consisting of + (plus), - (minus), X (multiplication), divided by (division), . (decimal) or / (fraction), the tiles of the third set bearing the designation (equals). Each tile further bears an additional numeral designation indicating a numerical value assigned to the respective tile. The tiles are arrangable on the squares on the board to form arithmetrical equations, the game commencing from a starting position on which one of the tiles of the first equation placed on the board must be disposed. Five classes of squares are provided on the board, one class having no effect on the numerical value assigned to the tile placed thereon, a second class representing a first multiplicand of the numerical value assigned to a tile placed thereon, a third class representing a second multiplicand of the numerical value assigned to a tile placed thereon, a fourth class representing a first multiplicand of the sum of the numerical values of the tiles in an equation one tile of which is placed thereon, and a fifth class representing a second multiplicand of the sum of the numerical values of the tiles in an equation one tile of which is placed thereon.
