Disclosed is a bonus bet system for use with a roulette game or other games as it relates to a player placing a bonus bet on an outcome of the roulette game or the other games. The bonus bet system may include a first outcome determination device, such as a wheel, and a second outcome determination device, such as a second wheel. The first outcome determination device includes a first plurality of outcomes displayed thereon, and the second outcome determination device has a second plurality of outcomes displayed thereon. The first and second pluralities of outcomes may be the same, or the second plurality of outcomes may be a subset of the first plurality of outcomes. When the outcome of the second outcome determination device corresponds to the outcome of the first outcome determination device, a bonus may be applied to successful wagers on the first outcome.

Disclosed is an educational board game having a game surface and associated physical gaming elements that cooperatively simulate distinct phases of a supply chain, in which different physical gaming elements and game board segments correspond to those distinct supply chain phases. Mating, player-specific (e.g., color coded) material game pieces represent materials that may be combined to form a simulated product. Combined game pieces representing player-specific products may then be moved across the game board with players paying various supply chain costs and receiving payment for product sales through the segments of the supply chain. A random number generator, such as one or more dice, in combination with various cards, are used by the players to determine the occurrence of various supply chain risks, values, and projections as the players progress through the segments of the supply chain to ultimate sale of finished products.

A board game apparatus is disclosed. The board game apparatus has a support assembly, a first member rotatably supported by the support assembly, a second member rotatably supported by the support assembly and covering part of the first member, a board member rotatably supported by the support assembly and including a plurality of apertures, the board member covering the first member and the second member, and a raised member rotatably supported by the support assembly above the board member and forming a gap between the raised member and the board member. A first portion of the first member and a second portion of the second member are visible from above the board member through the plurality of apertures.

A separable assembly includes a cellulose member having a side surface and an end face forming an edge with the side surface. The cellulose member defines an elongated sliding track that extends from an end opening at the end face and has a T-shaped transverse cross-section. The cellulose member defines a side opening along the sliding track at the side surface of the cellulose member. The sliding track further defines a detent recess spaced from the end surface and extending into the cellulose member. The separable assembly includes a rigid plastic member having an edge configured to be received within the end opening of the cellulose member and slid along the sliding track with the plastic member extending through the side opening. The plastic member includes a detent protrusion configured to engage the detent recess.

A health management apparatus includes a processor that is configured to activate a sugoroku including squares linking a starting square with a finishing square and direct a piece of a user to be advanced through the squares. The processor is configured to obtain measurement data including biological information of the user and a time of day or location of measurement at which the biological information has been measured. The processor is configured to assess an evaluation value based on whether the time of day or location of measurement satisfies a condition, and determine a number of squares through which the piece is to be advanced in the sugoroku, based on the evaluation value.

A board game system comprises a game board, having a surface adapted to receive a board game overlay, a detector array adapted to detect the respective positions of a plurality of game pieces placed on top of the board game overlay, and a transmitter adapted to transmit data indicating the respective positions to an entertainment device; and an entertainment device, having a receiver adapted to receive from the game board data indicating the respective positions of the plurality of game pieces, a game state analyser operable to update the state of a game in dependence upon the indicated respective positions of the plurality of game pieces, and an image generator operable to generate an image for output to a display, the content of the image being responsive to the detected state of the game.

A game system for playing a multi-player game. The game system comprises a hexagonal game board. The game board comprises a plurality of hexagonal cells on a top surface of the game board. The cells are separated into a plurality of kingdoms comprising kingdom cells, a plurality of battlefield cells, and a central cell. The game system additionally comprises a plurality of sets of game pieces. Each of the sets of game pieces is associated with one of the plurality of kingdoms. At least one of the game pieces from each of the plurality of sets of game pieces includes an indicia on the at least one game piece. The indicia is indicative of a legal maneuver permitted by the at least one game piece.

The invention relates to a strategy game that uses a new game device, called a plot compass, that enables two or more players to create a custom gameboard map with tiles of congruent regular polygons. The different circumstances by which these plot compasses create new types of tile allows the game to mark such tile types differently. Differently-marked tiles can signify different kinds of terrain, such as allied or enemy houses of any given individual player—houses that can be as short as one-story huts, or as tall as multi-story towers. When other circumstances create other types of tile, they can be marked as natural terrains that are player-neutral, like mountains, plains, or lakes, along with one cratered hole, and one volcano that can shift its position vis-a-vis all the other tiles during each round of tile creation. Such terrains together can form, in each game, the distinctive geography of a customized one-of-a-kind gameboard, each gameboard resembling an irregularly-shaped island of Micronesia, surrounded by sea.

The invention also relates to one or more players using such a plot compass to move pieces from their resident, occupied tiles to land on targeted tiles on that same gameboard. Hence any player can engage in competitive acts of gameboard creation and gameboard piece movement, solely by using this plot compass device, acting with other players during rounds of simultaneous play.
