Disclosed is a board game capable of being played by two or more players and method of playing the board game. The board game comprises a board member having plurality of boxes configured thereon. Each box of the plurality of boxes includes at least two triangles which form at least one diagonal path thereon. Further, each box of the plurality of boxes placed in proximity with other box and/or on the sides of the board member (10) to form vertical and horizontal paths there between. Further, the board game includes a plurality of playing pieces divided into at least two sets. Each set includes at least two playing pieces, wherein each player of the two or more players is assigned one set of the playing pieces for playing the game. Furthermore, the board game includes a plurality of first blockers, at least one second blocker and at least one master blocker, wherein each player of the two or more players is assigned at least one blocker of the plurality of first, second and master blocker. Furthermore, the board game includes at least one joker and at least one flipper.

A game play device provides simplified movements and piece interaction in a capture-style board game. The device includes a game board defining a playing surface. Straight lines defining a plurality of isosceles triangles defining a playing field. Each of a plurality of playing pieces is shaped to correspond to and be alignable with to cover at least one isosceles triangle when placed on the playing field. The playing pieces including at least one each of four distinctly shaped playing pieces.

An IoT enhanced educational system is to be operated by a user, and includes a learning aid unit, a positioning unit and a processing unit. The learning aid unit includes a plurality of objects that are configured to be moved by the user. The positioning unit is configured to determine a position of each of the objects and to generate position data associated with the positions of the objects. The processing unit is electrically connected to the positioning unit for receiving therefrom the position data, and is configured to generate, according to the positions of the objects contained in the position data, an assessment associated with the user.

A board game is provided having a seven-by-seven play area and ten player tokens for each player. Each player's tokens are positioned on the play area in two rows of five along opposing sides of the play area. Players alternate turns, taking up to five orthogonal movements from one playing space to another on each turn, the five movements being allocated across up to five of the player's player tokens. When a player token is orthogonally surrounded on at least three sides by opposing player tokens, that player token is removed from the play area. Play continues until one player has only two player tokens remaining on the play area, at which time the opposing player is declared the winner.

The present invention provides a board game system in which an electrostatic-capacitance-based touchscreen that is capable of detecting a plurality of touched positions by detecting changes in electrostatic capacitance is used as a board. The board game system includes an electronic device equipped with the touchscreen; and game pieces that are used while being placed on the touchscreen and that are constituted at least partially of a conductive section. The conductive section is laid out so as to be intervened by a non-conductive section or gaps on the contact face. In the case where the game piece is placed on the touchscreen, the conductive section causes the predetermined or greater amount of change in the electrostatic capacitance at the contact positions of the conductive section on the contact face in the case where the conductive section is touched by the user. The electronic device recognizes the game piece.

Regular grid game board such as used for chess or checkers but with stencil filtered back lights used to indicate the dark and light semi-transparent game board regions in lieu of typical reflective game board coloring. This enables game play in dimly lit environments with the use of game board back lighting, but prevents eye strain with the configuration of back lighting for the dark game board regions only. It also enables the use of non traditional checkered colored patterns of similar brightness and hue on the game board, where the light squares are indicated by back lighting and the dark squares are indicated by the the absence of back lighting.
