A board game of strategy in which a plurality of player markers are strategically moved along a plurality of concentric paths along the board and where a plurality of colored interconnecting members are located between the plurality of marker positions to create a plurality of continuous paths of connecting members. Each player selects a plurality of identically colored markers, placing the plurality of identically colored markers on successive marker positions along the plurality of continuous paths. A colored dice is selected corresponding to at least one of the continuous paths of the same colored interconnecting members, the player choosing a path that includes a vacant marker position at the end of the path. The dice is rolled and one of the plurality of identically colored markers is moved the number of spaces indicated on the dice with the hope of landing on a vacant marker position. If the marker does not land on a vacant marker position the marker is removed off the game board.

A game board apparatus (100) comprising at least two tokens (130) with a hollow open end (132) and a closed surface (134) including a cavity (136) a projection (138) extending from the closed surface (134); and a board (110) with a plurality of recesses (112) structured on the board (110) to receive the tokens (130), the recess (112) includes a first surface (114), a second surface (116) enclosed by the first surface (114), and a hole (118) at the center of the second surface (116), wherein the hole (118) receives the projection (138) and the second surface (116) receives the hollow open end (132) of the token (130) thereby avoiding displacement of the token (130) from the surface of the board and wherein the cavity (136) in the closed surface of the token receives the projection (138) of the token (130) thereby allowing stacking of the tokens (130). While playing a token (130) is placed over another token (130) forming a stack (144), wherein stacking is done by selecting the shortest path such that the number of steps taken for forming a stack (144) is same as the number of tokens (130) in the stack. FIG. 1 is the representative figure.

A toy construction craft utilizing construction elements including modular building blocks comprises a base plate usable with a template that directs the user to create a scene and/or usable with a base joiner that enables multiple base plates to be removably connected to form a larger playing surface. The base plate comprises a flat base and an outer flange. The flat base includes a substantially planar building surface configured with forward-facing coupling studs for being interconnected with toy building elements having complementary coupling means, and the flat base includes rearward-facing protrusions that can interface with the template and/or with the base joiner. Additional optional accessories and specialized blocks are also provided, including one or more graphic segments and a frame.

A button assembly includes a back member, a socket or a stud secured with an eyelet or a rivet to the back member and a shell crimped onto the back member. Indicia may be disposed on the exterior surface of the shell. The button assemblies, each with a unique image, can be used to form a puzzle or provide a method of personal expression or a method of communication.
