Dice Game Device
The present invention relates to a novel dice game device. The device is a modified dice game in which players roll different combinations of dice to enter into different areas of a scoresheet. Players earn points based on the combinations they roll to try and win the game. The game introduces the concept that five-of-a-kind numbers, (i.e., 2 thru 5), can be five-of-a-kind and/or a player can split the difference to achieve five-of-a-kind. The game introduces the concept that four-of-a-kind numbers (2 thru 6) with three of the same number can add the two remaining dice together to equal the same number as the three-of-a-kind number already scored to equal four-of-a kind. The game introduces the concept of wild cards that can be entered in any available score area for the maximum point available in that score area.
Card caddy device
The present invention provides a versatile card caddy device comprised of two or more identical structures, or card caddy units, configured to provide a playing card case which can be converted easily into one or more discard trays. The present invention further provides a storage box adjoined to a closed card caddy for storing, carrying and transporting dice, tokens, score pads, pens, pencils and other accessories associated with card playing. The card caddy device allows for cost-effective manufacturing because only one mold is required to manufacture the single card caddy unit; secure closure in the closed configuration due to a bump and dimple closure mechanism; viewing of a deck of cards inside the closed card caddy due to a circular opening in the card caddy unit, which also provides assistance in opening the closed card caddy; and easier pick up of the a card in a stack of cards due to a slightly raised grid pattern on the bottom end of the rectangular base of the card caddy unit.
CUBE SET OPERATING BASED ON SHORT-DISTANCE WIRELESS COMMUNICATION AND METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR RECOGNIZING CUBE PATTERN USING SAME
