Patent ID: 7229073

Claim:
A game, comprising in combination: a game board including a first sheet of material, said first sheet of material being substantially flexible and substantially non-magnetic; a magnetized layer, said magnetized layer including at least two magnetized sheets of material, said at least two magnetized sheets of material laterally spaced apart, each of said magnetized sheets of material being substantially flexible and substantially permanently magnetized; and a second sheet of material, said second sheet of material being substantially flexible and substantially non-magnetic; said first and second sheets of material being in a substantially parallel and substantially in register relationship relative to each other, said magnetized sheets of material being substantially disjoint from each other and located between said first and second sheets of material, said magnetized sheets of material being secured to said first and second sheets of material so as to substantially prevent a relative displacement between each of said magnetized sheets of material and said first and second sheets of material, and a card set including a plurality of cards, each of said cards being substantially non-magnetic and including a magnetically responsive portion; wherein said game board is selectively rollable and unrollable between a substantially cylindrical rolled configuration and a substantially flat unrolled configuration; whereby when said game board is in said unrolled configuration said first sheet of material is usable as a playing surface for recieving said cards thereon while said cards are releasably secured to said game board by the magnetic force generated by said magnetized sheets of material, and, when said game board is in said rolled configuration said game board is relatively compact for facilitating transportation thereof.
