`’l‘he No. 5 player
`‘ having his card on Movie to Buy, buys in an
`advancing market, and therefore loses one
`l_ additional point. He thereupon pays_ a blue
`‘ chi
`to the banker. If he had been playing
`Sel Movie, and the same condition had oc-
`curred, he would of course have received a
`blue chip from the banker.
`It will be understood that any layer may
`play each and every great sub- ivision, or
`as I term it, each and every stock. He cannot,
`however, play in one stock for Buy and Sell,
`but must play them either on the Buy-side
`or the Sell side.
`The numbered disksare intended to remain '
`exposed in front of each individual player
`so that the banker may readily discover who
`the player is whose ‘card rests upon a given
`small sub-division on the larger sheet.

`visions, and that a greater or lesser number of
`players may be provided for, but I prefer the ,
`whole as shown and described.
`Having carefully and fully described my
`invention, what I claim and desire to secure
`by Letters Patent is :— .
`1. A ame comprising a game sheet divided
`into a» p urality of greater sub-divisions, each
`greater sub-division bein again divided into
`a plurality of lesser sub- ivisions, each of the 75
`lesser sub-divisions having an indicating fig-
`ure, a pluralit of disks, each bearing a fig-
`e in the lesser
`.ure correspon in
`to a fi
`sub-divisions, an a plura 'ty of cards each
`bearing the title of one of the greater sub-
`divisions, and a plurality of cubes for di-
`greeting the play, one of said cubes bearing
`on each of its sides, the title of one of me
`greater sub—divisions, another cube bearing
`on each of its sides, a figure indicating the
`value.
`2. A game comprising a game sheet di-
`vided into a pluralit of greater sub-divi-
`sions, each greater su -division bein a ain
`divided into a plurality of lesser su - "vi-
`sions, each of the lesser sub-divisions having
`an indicating figure, a plurality of disks, each
`bearing a figure corresponding to a fi ure in
`the lesser sub-divisions, and a plura ity of
`cards each bearing the title of one of the
`greater sub-divisions, and a plurality of
`cubes for directing the play, one of said cubes
`bearing on each of its ‘sides, the title of one
`of the greater sub-divisions, another cube
`bearing on each of its sides, a figure indicat-
`ing the value, and another cube bearing on
`three of its sides, the letter D, and on three
`of its sides, the letter A.
