Abstract A double jigsaw puzzle game wherein two opposing players or teams are provided with identically cut and illustrated, but differently colored, pieces of a scene. A playing board is provided which also includes the scene depicted by the assembled playing pieces. Each player starts with one of the opposite edge portions of the scene on the board and attempts to complete a major portion of the scene by placing the pieces properly on the board in advance of his opponent. As a player progresses with the placement of contiguous pieces of the puzzle, he is credited with scores as indicated on certain of the puzzle pieces. Further there is provided a plurality of playing pieces for each player which he may advantageously place on indicated sections of the puzzle scene as such sections are completed by the player. A starting strip is formed along each of two opposite sides of the board, the inner edges of these strips interlocking with puzzle pieces having a complementary configuration.
A jigsaw puzzle game comprising a plurality of pairs of irregularly cut puzzle pieces which can be assembled to provide duplicates of a particular scene differing only in color from each other, puzzle piece portions of each of said duplicate scenes including indicia thereon providing scoring means for the completion of each said portion in the puzzle, and a playing board including means defining the opposite edges of a single reproduction of said scene, with one edge-defining means being in one of the colors on said pairs of pieces and the other edge having the other color on said pairs of pieces, whereby each of two opposing players or teams of players use one of the differently colored sets of puzzle pieces in an attempt to complete portions of the scene in advance of the opponent and achieve a score as determined by said indicia-bearing pieces.
