A miniature movement system that includes a plurality of modular platforms and a plurality of magnet-reactive metal plates. Each modular platform of the plurality of modular platforms includes a plurality of sides defining a center cavity. Each magnet-reactive metal plate of the plurality of magnet-reactive metal plates is configured to be received in the center cavity of a respective modular platform. A first modular platform of the plurality of modular platforms is configured to be removably coupled to at least a second modular platform of the plurality of modular platforms.

The present application relates to a klotski game including a plurality of game pieces, a game board and a prompter. The plurality of game pieces includes a decisive game piece. The game board is configured to accommodate the plurality of game pieces and the game board is provided with an exit. The prompter is configured to indicate that a game of the klotski game is over when the decisive game piece is moved to a position corresponding to the exit on the game board.

Players attempt to be the first person to move from the start of the board puzzle piece to the end of board. The game is played in at least three phases, with each phase utilizing different game pieces. Phase one consists of creating a puzzle pattern by placing background puzzle pieces on the puzzle game board and connecting background puzzle pieces already on the board. Phase two consists of placing color overlay puzzle pieces on top of the background puzzle pieces that make up the puzzle pattern. Phase three is accomplished by each player selecting a playing card and then either strategically migrating their creature by moving contiguously between the creature spots or by jumping from a color overlay creature spot to a different color overlay creature spot, as described on the playing card selected. The game ends when a player moves off the end of board.

An automated game board apparatus configured to, upon receiving a command from a player, determine a path from an origin segment to a destination segment and automatically move a selected game piece from the origin segment to the destination segment; wherein, if one or more intermediate segments along the path are occupied by other game pieces, the selected piece is moved along the boundaries of the occupied segment; and wherein, if the destination segment is occupied, the apparatus is further configured to automatically replace the existing game piece with the selected game piece by moving the existing game piece to substantially the boundary of the destination segment and moving the selected game piece to substantially the centre of the destination segment. In preferred embodiments, the invention utilizes electromagnets, correlated electromagnet array technology (CEAT), and/or correlated magnets.

A three-dimensional chess apparatus comprising a cube-shaped board with extended walls along certain edges. The cube features a 44 checkerboard pattern on each face. Walls extend from edges where adjacent squares are the same color, acting as gameplay barriers and providing ground clearance for pieces on the bottom face. Chess pieces are designed to be shorter than these walls, allowing for stable placement and movement. The game includes Frontier and Crossroads variants affecting pawn movement, and a Revolution variant allowing rotation of cube sections. The apparatus introduces new strategic elements through modified piece movement rules and three-dimensional play. A novel three-digit notation system, with the first digit representing the cube face, enables precise recording of piece positions, accommodating the 3D nature of the game board.
