Rejection over Napolitano
Napolitano discloses a board game comprising a chance device (14)
having a printed circular area (16) divided into eight pie-shaped sections,
each colored one of the eight basic colors (col. 2, ll. 15-16 and 36-38). Near
the border of each side of a game board (2) are two square areas (20), each
colored with a different one of the eight basic colors (col. 2, ll. 41-43). A
user places on top of each colored area a plurality of matching color cards
(22) (col. 2, ll. 43-46).
