Audible game

Claim 1

A record game for use with a phonograph that selects one of several record tracks on a record in accordance with the initial positions of the record, comprising: a plurality of records, each having a label defining a different first play strategy by a first player, each record having a plurality of respeonse indications spaced about the record and defining different second strategies that can be chosen by a second player to respond tO expected first play strategies and each having a plurality of record tracks which define different outcomes of plays involving the play strategy indicated on the record label and the chosen response strategy indicated by the chosen response indication, said record tracks having leadin portions spaced thereabout so that the particular recording that will be played by the phonograph depends upon the initial record rotational position chosen by the second player; said record tracks include a plurality of probable outcome tracks defining probable outcomes resulting from the choice of corresponding second strategy responses defined by said response indications, and each of the leadin portions of said plurality of probable outcome tracks spaced from the corresponding response indication by substantially the same predetermined distance, so that when a highly appropriate or inappropraite second strategy response is chosen an outcome respectively favorable or unfavorable to the second player is sounded when one of said probable outcome tracks is played; and each record has a plurality of improbable outcome tracks with leadin portions interleaved with the leadin portions of said first tracks, each of said improbable outcome tracks relating an outcome which is less likely than the outcome of the probable outcome track that has a leadin portion closest in an up-path direction relative to the normal direction of record rotation, said improbable track spaced from the corresponding probable track by less than half the average spacing of said probable outcome tracks from one another about said record, whereby outcomes are occasionally related that are unusual for the selected pair of first and second strategies.
