Tiling puzzle
A tiling puzzle includes a low-profile packing frame having a raised continuous border and a flat recessed surface area within the border. A plurality of multi-sided puzzle pieces are adapted for being assembled together on the recessed surface area of the packing frame. A frame indicium is located on the packing frame. A multi-sided solution key is adapted for residing within the recessed surface area of the packing frame directly adjacent the frame indicium. After properly placing the solution key within the packing frame, the puzzle is solved by assembling the puzzle pieces together on the recessed surface area in a single functional arrangement such that the solution key and all puzzle pieces occupy the entire recessed surface area within the packing frame without gaps or overlaps.
A BOARD GAME APPARATUS AND A METHOD OF PLACEMENT OF TOKENS ON THE SAME
A game board apparatus (100) and a method of placement of tokens on the board is disclosed. The game board apparatus (100) comprises a plurality of tokens (130) with a reference image (132) at its each side, a board (110) with plurality of recesses (112) structured on the board. The recesses (112) formed on the board (110) are structured to receive the tokens on the board (110) adjacent to a token (130) already placed on the board (110) or adjacent to the boundary of the board (110) having reference images (132). The token (130) which is to be placed is identified by matching the reference image (132) on the sides of the token (130) already placed on the board (110) with the reference image (132) on the side of the token (130) which is to be placed on the board (110), thereby avoiding displacement of the token (130) on the board (110) when the board (110) is lifted. While placing a token (130) in the recess (112) at the boundary of the board (110), the token (130) which is to be placed is identified by matching reference image (132) at the boundary of the board (110) with the reference image (132) on the side of the token (130) to be placed, thereby avoiding displacement of the token (130) on the board (110) when the board (110) is lifted.
