An assortment of magnetic playing pieces includes a large set and small set. To distinguish between the numbers, 1-9, the assortment of magnetic playing pieces has a certain color that corresponds to a specific number. Accordingly, the same number in both the large set and the small set have coordinating colors. These colors visually assist the player so that the same numbers are not repeated in each column, row, and 33 grid box.

A chess game method includes providing a standard chess board having squares of alternating colors; providing a first set of chess pieces of a first color and a second set of chess pieces of a second color; arranging the first set of chess pieces in a first corner of the standard chess board such that a king of the first set of chess pieces is in the corner; and arranging the second set of chess pieces in the second corner of the standard chess board such that a king of the second set of chess pieces is in the second corner; the first corner is directly opposite the second corner.

A multiple player, turn-based, crossword game where there is a distinct colored collection of tiles for each player, and these tiles are shaped differently based upon their imprint of either a consonant or vowel. The amount and frequency of these imprinted letters and letter scores is consistent between each players' separate collection of tiles. Players take turns building and placing a word from their private tile holder which contains a random selection of their choice of N consonants and M vowels, where N and M can vary, but N+M is fixed and consistent between the players. Play continues until a player has successfully played all of the tiles in their collection. Unplayed tiles from the other players is then deducted from their score and added to the score of the player who played their last tile. The player with the highest recorded score is the winner.

A game apparatus and game methods of play that provide mental exercises to increase the level of abstract thinking to create 3-D objects from universally accepted 2-D flat patterns. Since we read and write on 2-D surfaces, the shapes we associate most with a 2-D environment are alphanumeric characters. Combining letters and numbers in a 3-D environment creates challenging exercises for visualizing 3-D shapes. The competitive games involve a series of 3-D manipulative modules. Play of the games involves scoring points for creating and/or discerning words made up of letters recognized from the 3-D manipulative modules. The games are for multiple players and can also be implemented electronically and online.

An augmented reality (AR) game system is disclosed wherein real-world objects are transformed into AR terrain elements and AR events generate real-world impact. The game environment is set up using real-world objects that include everyday objects and game pieces on a field of play. When viewed on the screen of a computing device executing the modules of the game system, the everyday objects are transformed into elements of an AR terrain while the game pieces can be augmented with various controls. Multiple viewing modes, for example, a third person view, a first person view or POV view from a selected game piece or a split screen view are contemplated for viewing the field of play. A subset of the augmented controls can be activated by the user to execute AR events some of which can have real-world impact. The AR events are executed based on game rules.
