MAGNETIC CONNECTORS AND COUPLED TRACK SEGMENTS FOR ROLLING BALLS DOWN A VERTICAL SURFACE
An assembly includes a track segment having a channel for holding a rolling object. A first 3D-printed connector is attachable to a first end of the track segment. The first 3D-printed connector is slidable onto the first end of the track segment. The first 3D-printed connector incudes a first magnet embedded therein that enables the first 3D-printed connector to be attachable to a ferromagnetic surface. A second 3D-printed connector is attachable to a second end of the track segment. The second 3D-printed connector is slidable onto the second end of the track segment. The second 3D-printed connector includes a second magnet embedded therein that enables the second 3D-printed connector to be attached to the ferromagnetic surface. Each of the first 3D-printed connector and the second 3D-printed connector is a single piece.
Game apparatus for facilitating a gameplay
Disclosed herein is a game apparatus for facilitating a gameplay, in accordance with some embodiments. Accordingly, the game apparatus may include a base member, a support member, and a game board. Further, the support member coupled to the base member. Further, the support member may include a first support member end and a second support member end. Further, the first support member end may be attached to the base member. Further, the support member may be configured for extending between positions in relation to the base member. Further, the game board may be rotatably coupled with the second support member end. Further, the game board may be configured for rotating about a board axis between first board positions. Further, the support member may be configured for elevating the game board to board positions in relation to the surface based on the extending of the support member between the positions.
Mounted game board
A game board assembly is disclosed herein. The game board assembly includes a foldable game board and a plurality of mounts. The foldable game board has a main portion and a plurality of peripheral edge portions that surround the main portion. The game board has a planar configuration where the main portion and the plurality of peripheral edge portions are positioned to be substantially co-planar with one another. The peripheral edge portions are selectively foldable to be non-planar with respect to the main portion. The mounts are each configured to engage the game board in the planar configuration. The mounts are configured to releaseably mount to a surface.
RANDOM PATTERN CONNECTION GAME AND METHOD OF PLAYING SAME
A random pattern connection game with a physical version or computerized representation of a substantially cylindrical polygonal shaped grid with vertical columns and horizontal columns to create a plurality of slots at the top end of the vertical columns to receive game pieces; and a visual indicia displaying at least one random game piece grid pattern comprising. The game is playing by providing a plurality of game pieces to a group of players; providing a cylindrical or polygonal shaped grid with vertical and horizontal columns to receive game pieces; dividing the game pieces between the players; and generating a random game piece grid pattern wherein each player attempts to recreate the grid pattern by alternating turns for inserting game pieces into the top of a vertical column such that the game piece falls straight down and occupies the next available space in the vertical column.
MAGNETIC CONNECTORS AND COUPLED TRACK SEGMENTS FOR ROLLING BALLS DOWN A VERTICAL SURFACE
An apparatus includes a track segment including a channel for holding a rolling object, a first connector attachable to a first end of the track segment, and a second connector attachable to a second end of the track segment. Each of the first connector and the second connector include one or more magnets embedded therein that enable attaching the first connector and the second connector to a ferromagnetic surface.
Game apparatus
A game apparatus is disclosed that comprises a plurality of tokens including first tokens and second tokens, a frame arranged to define multiple pathways along which the tokens can move under force of gravity, and a retainer arranged to controllably retain the tokens relative to the pathways. The retainer is movable between a first position wherein the retainer retains the tokens relative to the pathways, and a second position wherein the tokens can move under force of gravity. The game apparatus also includes a separating mechanism arranged to direct the first tokens towards a first collection zone and to direct the second tokens towards a second collection zone. The separating mechanism comprises a first separating component associated with each first token and at least one second separating component associated with the frame.
Board game/chess game
Board game (1) with a board (2) having at least one playing surface (3) comprising multiple playing fields (4) and with playing pieces (5) and at least one holding device (6) for holding a playing piece (5) releasably attached to the playing field (4), with the board (2) being arranged such that the orientation of the playing surface (3) deviates from a horizontal orientation, wherein a rotating device (7) is provided for holding the playing piece (5) in a same vertical orientation for any rotation of the board (2) about an imaginary axis (A) substantially orthogonally to the playing surface (3).
Magnetic connectors and coupled track segments for rolling balls down a vertical surface
An apparatus includes a track segment including a channel for holding a rolling object, a first connector attachable to a first end of the track segment, and a second connector attachable to a second end of the track segment. Each of the first connector and the second connector include one or more magnets embedded therein that enable attaching the first connector and the second connector to a ferromagnetic surface.
PRIME BOARD
A method of using a math manipulative configured to help a user organize a breakdown of a given number into its prime factors, the method including using a board comprising columns, each column assigned to a different prime number and configured to accommodate chips, the board giving a visual picture of the prime factors of the given number to the user, and adding the chips in each of the columns by the user, wherein a number of chip added in each of the columns is the number of times the prime number corresponding to each column is a prime factor of the given number.
Game With User Configurable Board and Method
A game kit having a game board assembled from a plurality of individual tiles is provided. The tiles each have a collapsed position and open to reveal a three-dimensional depiction of an object or location. The tiles are configurable for a plurality of different games by changing game indicia thereon. Players visit the different locations on the assembled game board and look for clues to accomplish tasks toward ending the game by accomplishing one final goal. A storyteller may serve as the director of game play for the players
