The players are provided with game pieces in the form of illustrated cards, each being identifiable with one of said pictorial representations, and the disposition of such cards is determined by instructions provided on sound reproducing means providing the second chance means. The sound reproducing means comprises an elongated strip having a plurality of parallel sound tracks with different messages, and a diaphragm and stylus device is manually moved along a sound track at random to effect reproduction of a message of instruction in the play of the illustrated cards.
