Though the base mechanism is Monopoly-like (the object of the game is to amass the most money), the way this game plays is different. The theme of the game is that you are investors in various comically named inventions. The game has a very curious mechanism that does double duty for rolling the dice and applying Patent Claim clips. (The kids love fussing with it.)The game board has an outside track, the Invention Track, and an inside track, the Royalty Track. On the Invention Track is where you pick up the various inventions (like buying properties in Monopoly). Instead of building house and hotels, you get a Patent Claim Clip attached to the invention card. This patent clip has a 0, 1, or 2 on it. The number assigned is random. The higher patent clip number, the more your patent makes you come royalty collection time. Eureka Cards can also be played that allow you to do special actions during your turn. The game limit is set by the usage of the Patent Claim clips. When the last one is used, the game ends. The player with the highest combined total of cash on hand invention value wins ~ For Ages 9 to Adult ~ 3 or 4 players



±8± Best Buy I was a child in the mid 70s and got this for my 12th Birthday. Only on the cover photo brings back memories, and how my friends and I would play this game all the time.

The goal of the game is to collect cards, which inventions. The inventions on each map are the actual patented inventions from the 1800s - armbands for horses, so that they swim, it was an automatic hat-tipper, a bird-powered flying machine, glasses for chickens, etc. (The latterthree are actually shown on the cover of the box, if you just sit on the men before the patent office door. The fourth man is trying to patent "inventor" itself!)

The game includes an apparatus that dispensed with the dice and "claim Clips" that you attach to the chart rolls. Depending on the particular clip that you received, you will receive higher royalties on the invention, when someone lands on it on the board (or "infringes your patent, 'as they were).It's no different than hotels and houses in Monopoly. There is also an element of chance here that you do not know what is your fee multiplier to attach the clip to your patent claim.

This game is a relatively low score for durability - the edges of the cards received patent quickly frayed by constantly mounting clip of claim. After a while it was very difficult to fix them. Tape at the edges to that problem.

I wish someone would re-this ... Parker Brothers, are you listening? :) on Sale!
