House print

Abstract: This is a childrens' boardgame for two to four players. Each player receives $100,000.00 (play money), a two-inch “Carpenter's Truck”, and a Guide Card (lists items and their cost) The playing board has four properties, each of which has drawn on it a distinct eight-room house, a garden, a pair of trees, and a storage shed in combination with a garage. The storage shed is for extra items. A print of a street runs around the four sides of the board. It consists of two-inch squares, each printed with a certain designations (e.g.—Kitchen—$20,000.00). In the center of the playing board is printed “The Community Lot”, for discarding items. A “Carpenter's Card” deck of eleven different instructions, is used on each turn, (e.g.—“Take Two Turns”). The “Carpenter's Store” has the rooms and other items available. The “Carpenter's Bank” both gives out money and collects it. During a turn a player picks up a “Carpenters'Card” and follows the instructions. Next he throws a pair of dice to determine the number of squares to move his truck. He usually buys the item that the squares represents. Each player can arrange the rooms of his HOUSE PRINT to his liking throughout the game, giving him an opportunity to plan out his own for the future. The winner is the player who completes his eight-room house, his garden, and his trees before any other player. (end of abstract)
