An apparatus for playing a game comprises a three dimensional structure assembled from a plurality of interconnectable and disengageable construction elements. Each construction element is a shaped elongate body piece with two end mating faces or surfaces. Each mating surface has a male or female connector or two female orifices plus a four way male connector to enable each construction element to connect to and disengage other like construction elements. The interconnection between two contacting faces or surfaces is allowable in one orientation only.

The invention relates to producing kits for games and souvenirs. The invention consists in a node for connecting moving elements thereof in order to perform a connecting action using two groups of components. A first group of components and a second group of components are connected by means of inserting protrusions, which are positioned along opposing edges of at least two individual components of the second group, in at least two rectangular connecting apertures of one of the individual components of the first group, and which are disposed symmetrically relative to a central aperture on each of the individual components of the first group. The second group of components contains at least two individual components which are made in the form of symmetrical pairs. The result consists in the fastest and most-reliable assembly of the node.
