Apparatus and methods for playing an orientation-based tabletop game in which one or more game components have functions that vary depending on the orientation of the game component on the game board as compared to the physical location of player positions around the game board. As pieces rotate during the course of play, functional indicators on the game pieces alter the rules or functions of the game piece in the game with respect to each player, depending upon the orientation of the game piece in relation to each player.

Disclosed is a method, a device, a system and/or efficiently organizing and/or playing a game of dominos. In one embodiment, a gameboard for organizing a game of Dominos includes a board, a starting slot, and a first slot. The starting slot is configured to hold a first domino in a first orientation on a surface the board and/or a second orientation that is perpendicular to the first orientation. A first slot on the board adjacent to the starting slot is configured to receive a second domino in the first orientation and/or the second orientation, to continue the game of dominos in an easily understandable and orderly way by constraining the first domino relative to the second domino. The starting slot and the first slot may include depressions in the board sized greater than a domino. A first set of two or more slots may extend linearly away from the starting slot, and may be configured to receive a group of two or more dominoes to continue the game of Dominoes.

Provided is an educational toy that enables even an infant of low age to easily play with interest. One or a plurality of command panels 121 are arranged to form a moving path 120, the command panels 121 including command information readable by a reading module. The movable robot 110 sequentially reads, using the reading module, the command information included in the command panel 121 over which the movable robot 110 passes, while moving on the moving path 120, and sequentially performs an action corresponding to the read command information. The actions performed by the movable robot 110 include at least any one of starting a movement, stopping the movement, rotating, changing a moving direction to a predetermined direction, flashing a light emitting portion of the movable object in a predetermined color, and replaying sound.
