Abstract
A toy for playing a number of different games having a housing containing a sound generating circuit and a number of removable game boards providing connections to the circuit. A laminate path affixed to the board and a probe provide means for connecting a resistor to the circuit and for carrying the value of resistor to change the frequency of the sound generated. In specific embodiments the path is broken so that a graphite path defined by a pencil may connect the parts of the circuit. The path is included in each of the games as a key to the play thereof.
