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 invention provides an apparatus and method of playing a card game. The apparatus comprises at least one type of card, the card comprising an identification symbol that identifies the card, a resource cost symbol that indicates the resource cost for playing the card, a resource gain symbol that indicates the resource gain from playing the card, and an action symbol that indicate an event arising from playing the card. A player plays a card to accumulate resource equivalent to resource gain symbol of that card, and then may play card(s) having a resource cost symbol, the card having a resource cost less or equal to the accumulated resource.

An illustrative pattern building and matching card game is described herein. The card game may include a first deck of cards including build cards each illustrating a single graphical element selected from a set of graphical elements, a second deck of cards including pattern cards each illustrating a pattern of multiple graphical elements selected from the set of graphical elements, and game instructions indicating that a number of the build cards and a number of the pattern cards be dealt to each of multiple players, and the players, in turn, play one or more of their build cards attempting to form, in a collaborative build space, patterns illustrated by their pattern cards.

The present disclosure describes a new game based upon the conventional game of chess. The new game includes a chessboard, chessmen, custom dice, and a custom set of the images of the six possible chessmen types taken in combinations of two, three, four, or five depending upon the game on custom cards. This new game puts more challenge and variety into the game of chess. Kits are contemplated that include custom dice, custom cards, a standard chess set, and, in some embodiments, a doubling cube.

A game and method of playing the same is characterized by offensive strategy having an object of occupying a majority of designated goal space(s). The game comprises a board defined by spaces arranged, in part, as a grid. One or more of the spaces is visually distinguishable from the others as a goal space. Players may take turns in sequence placing a tile from their respective decks of such tiles on a space on the board. Tiles may comprise one or more movement indicators which enable a player to move tiles already occupying a space on the board into an adjacent unoccupied space, and further prevent a player from moving certain tiles already occupying a space on the board. When a game ending event occurs, the player whose tiles occupy the most goal spaces may be deemed the winner.
