A table game management system according to the present invention includes a camera that images a game token placed on a game table, and a management control device that grasps a type of the game token placed on the game table based on a color of a side face of the game token imaged by the camera.

A two player strategic board game comprising thirty squares arranged into seven horizontal rows and six vertical columns. The top and bottom rows each have two squares; the second and sixth rows have four squares; and the middle three rows have six squares. Each row contains an equal number of alternating black and white squares. The outer columns each have three squares; the next two columns have five squares; and the middle two columns have seven squares. The game further comprises twelve game pieces divided into two sets of six, namely one white set and one black set. Each set comprises two minions, two prelates, one templar, one krown and two rings of game pieces that can be put on either krown based on a rule set. The objective of the game is for a player to occupy the opponent player's end two squares.

The present invention relates to a board game apparatus for project management methodology decision-making. The players must decide on the project methodology, project scope, team composition, and issues and opportunities within the game's time and budget constraints. The players achieve the highest possible value while accounting for real-world issues and opportunities during the project lifecycle.

A board game apparatus, comprising a dented platform having a plurality of dents that are adapted to receive corresponding game pieces, wherein each dent adapted to accommodate a single game piece, and manipulating means adapted for placing the game pieces into desirable dents, or for shifting the position of a game piece between dents.

A detection system according to the present invention includes a control device that detects fraud conducted on a game table by using the image analysis result obtained by an image analysis device. In addition, each game token used in this detection system has a multilayer structure having plastic layers with a plurality of different colors stacked on each other, with a colored layer being provided at least intermediately, and white layers or light-colored layers (not illustrated, but may be any layers lighter in color than the colored layer) being stacked on two sides of the intermediate colored layer. As described above, this game token has a multi-layer structure including the colored layer, with the white layers or light-colored layers (not illustrated, but may be any layers lighter in color than the colored layer) being stacked on the two sides of the intermediate colored layer.

A game apparatus includes a first total number of playing-pieces and an article of manufacture including: a grid structure which is sufficiently flexible so as to be substantially conformable to a surface of a substrate on which the grid structure is disposable; apertures in the grid structure exposing corresponding portions of the surface of the substrate on which the grid structure is disposable; areas of the apertures being sized to accommodate corresponding playing-pieces of a game; and a second total number of the apertures being sufficient to accommodate the first total number of the playing-pieces.
