Abstract:
1. A portable game set comprising: a two-dimensional planar game board fabricated of corrugated paper board, having at least one planar top ply establishing a playing surface and at least one layer of sinuous fluting having substantial depth in relation to the top ply; first indicia representing a series of discrete locations for playing a particular game on the playing surface of the game board; a plurality of selectively insertable and removable planar game pieces having second indicia thereon; a plurality of narrow vertical slits extending through the top ply and into a layer of fluting of the corrugated paper game board, whereby opposed severed fluting edges establish multiple game piece gripping regions, said game piece gripping regions adapted to engage and receive game pieces and maintain them in a generally perpendicular orientation with respect to the playing surface of the game board; said game pieces each having a foot portion having a length and width permitting tight engagement within said narrow slits whereby the game pieces may be securely retained in said slits by the application of pressure and friction on the foot portions of the game pieces within the slits by the opposed severed fluting edges of the corrugated paper board which form the boundaries of said slits.
