Brief Patent Description - Full Patent Description - Patent Application Claims
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION AND [0001] This card game bears Provisional Patent Application No. 60/438,268, dated Jan. 7, 2003, and has since been successfully licensed to a game manufacturer for release in late 2003/2004. The "Drawings" (images) were printed on 8.5.times.11 paper and bear formatted cardstock sheets that also measure 8.5.times.11. Each sheet provides for 8 perforated images measuring 2.35.times.3.50 each. [0002] These images, when torn from their perforation and compiled, formed a demo-deck for play-testing. Play-testing enabled me to further develop the game's rules and playability among family and friends and once finished, provided manufacturers the opportunity to see if the game was something they wanted to manufacture with their own original art. [0003] The yellow card that bears the title name, "There's a Moose in the House", appears on the back of each card. BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0004] The game was developed for the purpose of family fun, gathering friends, a way to make new friends and for those who enjoy playing cards. The game employs an enjoyable mix of strategy and luck for children. [0005] The game market is flooded with rummy-type games, trick-taking games, matching games, card-slapping games and numeric sequencing games. You won't find any melds here or artsy cards with mystical connotations that value and favor collection over game-play. [0006] There's a Moose in the House employs a different kind of game-play and fresh playability that is unique among card games. Silly situations and fin is the goal of this game. Mathematically, the number of cards work out correctly and since children are the audience, I have each player holding just 4 cards making it very user-friendly for their little hands. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 10 There's a Moose in the House Cards [0007] Let's begin with the main card called THERE'S A MOOSE IN THE HOUSE. This is the one with the moose's head pushing open the door. The game begins as each player trys to give another player this card during their turn. When you get this card from another player, it is placed face-up in front of you. When you get a moose in the house, it doesn't leave. Players must shout out "THERE'S A MOOSE IN THE HOUSE" every time this card is played. You can't stop anyone from giving you this card. Once you get this card, you now can be given EMPTY ROOM cards. Each player can get only one THERE'S A MOOSE IN THE HOUSE-card. 25 Empty Room Cards [0008] Kitchen (5 cards), Bathroom (5 cards), Den (5 cards), Bedroom (5 cards), Exercise room (5 cards) Players try to give one of these cards away during their turn to another player. These cards are placed next to a THERE'S A MOOSE IN THE HOUSE-card, face-up, in front of other players. Once a player gets an EMPTY ROOM card, they can get MOOSE cards for the same room from any player during their turn 20 Rooms with a Moose Cards [0009] Kitchen (4 cards), Bathroom (4 cards), Den (4 cards), Bedroom (4 cards), Exercise room (4 cards) Match up the EMPTY ROOM cards with your MOOSE card from your hand and place one face-up on top during your turn. These are counted at the end of the game. 5 Goose Goosed Moose Cards [0010] When someone gives you a room with a moose in it, you may play this card from your hand on top of the moose card to get rid of the moose. Once played you must say "GOOSE GOOSED MOOSE". 6 CLOSED DOOR Cards [0011] During your turn, you may play a CLOSED DOOR card on top of an EMPTY ROOM card that someone gave you. This will stop someone from giving you a MOOSE card for that room. On the back of all cards is the game name, There's a Moose in the House. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [0012] The following text has been taken directly from the "rules" that accompany the game. [0013] Directions and Instructions [0014] THERE'S A MOOSE IN THE HOUSE! [0015] A fun and silly card game for ages 6 and up. [0016] For 2, 3 or 4 players.
