A physical-virtual gaming system comprising a game board including a multiplicity of physical locations, a game overlay including a multiplicity of logical locations, and game pieces for moving throughout the logical locations. The system tracks the physical locations of the game pieces and translates these physical locations into the logical locations using pre-known physical-to-logical location mapping information. Game boards, game overlays and game pieces can be individualized with their own unique identifiers. As game pieces are moved, a game database comprising at least current game piece locations and the game state are maintained. Based at least in part upon the current game piece locations and game state the system provides actions including outputting any of virtual content and information on any of a shared or private computing device running a game app. Actions also include causing changes to game devices including wearables.

An electronic board game assembly for playing digital versions of board games includes a housing that is positionable on a horizontal support to be accessible to a plurality of players. An electronic memory is integrated into the housing for storing a database comprising imagery and operational software for a plurality of board games. A primary touch screen is coupled to the housing to facilitate the players to play the board games. A plurality of secondary touch screens is each coupled to the housing to facilitate each of the players to control operational parameters of the board game being played. Additionally, a plurality of touch pads is each coupled to the housing thereby facilitating each of the players to input directional controls into the board game being played.

Disclosed are a multi-dimensional baduk board and an online multi-dimensional baduk system implemented to have a plurality of baduk faces and to play baduk in a more diverse and interesting way, having the advantage of overcoming the limitations of a two-dimensional baduk board in the related art to give more interest to users than baduk in the related art and being helpful in terms of developing a user's brain, and having an effect that it is possible to play multi-dimensional baduk online by using such a baduk board structure.

An entity enabled interactive gaming platform for deepening the engagement of a customer with an entity comprising and entity global eco-system and an interactive gaming system where the entity alters the provision of a product or service to a customer based at least in part upon any one of or any combination of game play datum associated with the customer having played an entity game. The global eco-system comprises a game structure including game rules, a game database and game overlay descriptions sufficient for printing or otherwise creating a physical game overlay. The interactive gaming system comprises a physical game board with a replaceable physical game overlay, game app and one or more electronically trackable physical game pieces including an identifier, where the replaceable game overlay is printed or otherwise created based at least in part upon the game overlay descriptions associated with the entity game to be played.

The invention relates to a chip board system comprising a board with one or more chips and one or more chips readers. The chip can be a memory chip and can be coupled with an interface. The board can be provided with a layer and can be a board game and/or an educational and/or instructional aid. The chip and the reader can be able to emit and/or receive electrical, magnetic or electromagnetic fields. The chip and the reader can use radio frequency identification. The readers can be coupled with an interface and a (thematical) holder. The system can comprise an electronic device with a processor and a memory. The chips can be disposed in a pattern. The reader can be coupled with a vehicle (an aircraft), a water vessel or a product. The system can be modular. Chip board communication and navigation methods are proposed.

An educational gaming system includes control cards, road pieces and a robotic device. Each of the control cards has a graphic corresponding to an instruction. The road pieces are arranged to form a road on which the robotic device is configured to move. The robotic device is communicable with an electronic device that executes an application program. The electronic device captures an image of the graphic of the control card, conducts a machine learning algorithm based on the image to obtain the instruction, and transmits the instruction to the robotic device. The robotic device obtains a road-piece signal value that is generated by scanning one of the road pieces, and performs movement based on the instruction and the road-piece signal value.

The finding and object of the invention relates to board games and parlour games characterized by the support of electronic components, such as a PC, tablet, smartphone or game console. More precisely, the invention consists of an economical and easy to construct system, able to identify and track the movements of objects, preferably but not necessarily pawns, on an interactive game board configurable by the user. Said playable and movable objects are tracked by means of a coordinated system of low-cost sensors and a method for the progressive storage of the positions assumed by the same objects as a result of voluntary user interactions. This result is achieved by means of: •A sensorized board (flexible or foldable) equipped with a series of magnetic sensors positioned according to a regular grid arrangement; •An electronic control board, connected to said sensorized board, adapted to the acquisition of data and the communication of the acquired information to a third system (PC, tablet, is smartphone, console) via interface (wired or radio); •An identification system, preferably but not exclusively of the RFID type consisting of reader chip and single antenna, integrated in the control board; •A series of modular tiles, of different shapes, which reproduce different environments, usable to create different game scenarios; •A series of profiled elements to keep the tiles integral with the interactive game board, once positioned above it; •A series of gaming elements, equipped with magnets and identification code (for example RFID TAG).

A kit of parts for playing a capture the flag game in low-light conditions is disclosed herein. The kit can include a number of flags, each of the flags carrying one or more light emitting diodes (LEDs) operable to provide a visual signal; a number of territory markers, each of the territory markers carrying one or more LEDs operable to provide a visual signal; and a number of jail markers, each of the jail markers carrying one or more LEDs operable to provide a visual signal. The flags, the territory markers, and the jail markers are configured to be selectively disposable upon or attachable to the terrain.

In a case where an actual object is moved by a user manipulation or by other means, physical phenomena associated with the object are addressed. A control system includes a mobile apparatus being an apparatus that moves on a sheet where images indicating coordinates are arranged and having a camera for photographing part of the sheet. The control system acquires the user manipulation, controls the mobile apparatus in such a manner as to travel according to the user manipulation (S106), detects a position of the mobile apparatus on the basis of an image photographed by the camera included in the mobile apparatus (S101), determines, on the basis of the position detection by position detection means, whether or not the mobile apparatus has moved in a manner estimated on the basis of the user manipulation (S102, S105), and performs a predetermined procedure (S103, S110, S111) in a case where it is determined that the mobile apparatus does not move in the estimated manner.
