          complete                                                                    




          statement of appellant’s arguments can be found in the Brief                
          filed February 17, 1998 (Paper No. 13).                                     
          OPINION                                                                     
               In reaching our decision in this appeal, we have given                 
          careful consideration to the appellant’s specification and                  
          claims, to the applied prior art references, and to the                     
          respective positions articulated by the appellant and the                   
          examiner.  As a consequence of our review, we conclude that                 
          the                                                                         
          § 103 rejection cannot be sustained.                                        
               Claim 1, the only independent claim, calls for an                      
          association and location identification game comprising: at                 
          least one sheet of material having a first portion of less                  
          than an overall image visibly printed thereon and “a second                 
          portion physically associated as a continuity with said first               
                                          3
