Abstract
A game assembly utilizing sound identification as a method of determining the length of a player's move, wherein the player forfeits his turn if he fails to recognize the sound. A first player uses a keyboard to identify a randomly-generated sound, while a second player attempts to anticipate the random sound to be generated by moving panels over certain keys of the keyboard Additionally, the game assembly keyboard includes a processor which randomly appends the generated sound with a bonus sound, the player receiving an additional turn upon successful identification of the generated sound during such a bonus condition.
