The present invention provides for a plurality of interconnectable modular members that may create a pathway system with multiple entrances into the upper portion of each member and at least one exit from the lower portion of each member, thereby providing for a variety of convergence and divergence possibilities. The pathway system is suitable for receiving and transporting marbles and other spherical objects from one member to another. The modular members may be interlinked via male/female connectors to create a variety of configurations.

Assemblies combining a structure, such as a structure defined by magnetic connector pieces, with a slide assembly. In some embodiments, the slide assembly may comprise a plurality of slide pieces configured to be coupled together so as to define a slide configured to receive and direct one or more slideable pieces, such as balls, therein. The slide assembly may further comprise a plurality of slide coupling members configured to couple at least a subset of the plurality of slide pieces to the structure. The plurality of slide pieces may comprise a plurality of coupling joints configured to couple two adjacent slide pieces of the plurality of slide pieces together. Each of at least a subset of the plurality of coupling joints may be configured to be positioned at the same location in at least one dimension with respect to an adjacent structure piece upon being coupled with the structure.

A modular beer pong table comprising a plurality of planar members. Each planar member having the ability to connect to any other planar member indiscriminately by a unique mechanism that employs an alternating pattern of protrusions which can mate with any other similar set of alternating protrusions. The mating protrusions providing for a strong joint and easy assembly. The planar members along with cap-like members combine to form a briefcase-like assembly for easy transportability and storability. The briefcase-like assembly further being able to retain two specialized stands which can be used to elevate the modular beer pong table during use. The modular beer pong table having the ability to float on water. Additional planar members of a modular nature that facilitate multiple concurrent beer pong game sessions. One embodiment employing the unique method of connecting modules for use in a toy construction set.

A rolling ball toy set is disclosed. The toy set includes two or more segments. Each segment defines a channel that extends from a first end thereof to a second end thereof that allows a marble to be rolled therein. The segment includes a first connection means at the first end and a second connection means at the second end. The first connection means of the segment is releasably pivotably couplable to the second connection means of another segment to form a track.

A miniature ball run system may have a first component with opposing faces and a conduit interconnecting the opposing faces. The first component is configured to allow an object to traverse the first component in response to a force and pass through a second component interconnected with one of the opposing faces. The second component and the first component each have a plurality of surfaces that are untouchable by the object as it traverses the first component or the second component when in motion.

A multi-lane release gate marble run module is for use with interconnectable marble run modules. The release gate marble run module includes marble travel tracks, at least one frame, and a gate arm. Each marble track includes a concave travel surface and an exit tube, the exit tube connectable to another marble run module. The marble travel tracks include travel surfaces. The gate arm is rotatably coupled to the at least one frame, and includes a first gate and a second gate at a first end thereof. The gate arm is rotatable from a first gate position in which the first gate and the second gate block marble travel in respective tracks, and a second gate position in which the first gate and second gate allow marble travel in the respective tracks.

A maze game includes a rollable object (101) such as a marble, a tiltable base platform (102), and a plurality of tiles (110,112,114,116,120). Each tile has a respective tenon (300b,356) configured to be inserted into any mortise (124) of selectable positions on the base platform. Each tile has a top surface with a respective recess (304,312,322,332,342,352) or shape therein forming a path segment for the marble. An alignment of a first recess or shape on a first tile with a second recess or shape on a second tile adjacent to the first tile forms at least a portion of a continuous path (106) for rolling of the marble. A player can tilt the tiltable base platform (102) to guide the marble along the continuous path.
