Patent US 6,893,264

A professional educational game provides continuing education for the staff and others in a professional environment. Players play independently of one another as their schedules permit. A round of the game may extend for a few days, up to a few weeks. A relatively large game board includes a series of cover flaps attached thereto. Each flap conceals a statement relating to the profession of the players; statements are preferably in the form of a response to a question. The statements are preferably arranged in a matrix according to subject area and degree of difficulty. Players take one or more response sheets from a receptacle, lift the cover flap(s) to the statement(s) or question(s) selected, and note their response(s) to the statement(s) or question(s) on their response sheet(s). The game organizer may provide one or more prizes for the top placing player or players, at the end of each round.
