Game for wagering hobby-related objects

Abstract

A game apparatus comprised of: a plurality of player game cards, each different from all others and including thereon a combination of randomized words arranged in rows and columns, and each randomized word pertaining to a hobby; a plurality of selection discs, each different from all others and containing one of the randomized words; and a plurality of blank marker discs in which one selection disc is selected and one randomized word on each player game card is covered using one of the blank marker discs. When one of the player game cards is covered by the blank marker discs in a pre-designated pattern (such as a designated line, shape, or four-corner configuration), an item related to the hobby is won.

       6 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein said at least one item to be wagered is beads, and wherein said apparatus further includes at least one connector on which said beads may be affixed to form jewelry, said connector selected from a group comprised a wire and a string. 
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein said plurality of player game cards appears as computer screen interfaces, and said randomized words are determined by a computer algorithm. 
   
   
       8 . A game apparatus comprised of:
 a plurality of player game cards, each of said plurality of game cards different from all others, and each including thereon a combination of randomized words arranged in nine rows and nine columns, each of said randomized words pertaining to a hobby, and each of said plurality of player game cards having a title word written above said nine rows and said nine columns such that each of said nine columns appears under one letter of said title word;   a plurality of selection discs, each of said plurality of selection discs different from all others, and each containing one of said randomized words; and   a plurality of blank marker discs;   wherein one of said plurality of selection discs is selected and one of said randomized words appearing on each of said plurality of player game cards corresponding to said randomized word on said plurality of selection discs is covered using one of said plurality of blank marker discs, and when one of said plurality of player game cards is covered with a plurality of blank marker discs forming a pre-designated pattern, at least one item to be wagered is won, said at least one item to be wagered related to said hobby.   
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said apparatus further includes a container suitable for mixing said plurality of selection discs and for withdrawing at least one of said plurality of selection discs at a time. 
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said apparatus further includes a container suitable for placing said at least one item to be wagered. 
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said apparatus further includes said at least one item for wagering. 
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said hobby is selected from a group comprised of beading, quilting, and trading cards. 
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said at least one item to be wagered is beads, and wherein said apparatus further includes at least one connector on which said beads may be affixed to form jewelry, said connector selected from a group comprised a wire and a string. 
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said plurality of player game cards appears as computer screen interfaces, and said randomized words are determined by a computer algorithm. 
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein said title word is BEADTRADE. 
   
   
       16 . A method for playing a game comprising the steps of:
 distributing to each of a plurality of players one of a plurality of player game cards, each of said plurality of player games cards card different from all others, and each of said plurality of player game cards including thereon a combination of randomized words arranged in a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns, each of said randomized words pertaining to a hobby;   wagering at least one item pertaining to said hobby;   selecting a series of selection discs from a plurality of selection discs, each of said plurality of selection discs different from all others, and each containing one of said randomized words;   placing one of a plurality of blank marker discs on each game card to identify each of said randomized words as each of said series of selection discs is selected;   identifying a first of said plurality of player game cards to have a achieved a predetermined configuration of said plurality of blank marker discs as a winning player game card; and   awarding said at least one item wagered to a holder of said winning player game card.   
   
   
       17 . The method of  claim 16 , wherein said method further includes placing said plurality of selection disks in to a container suitable for mixing and for withdrawing at least one of said plurality of selection disks at a time.
