Stacking Board Game and Method of Making and Using the Same
The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to an interactive board game. The game includes a game board, one or more base pieces, a plurality of playing pieces, and at least one chance device (e.g., playing dice). The base pieces are inserted and/or adhered into apertures formed in the playing board and thus are used as foundations to support the playing pieces. The object of the game is to stack playing pieces vertically on the base pieces to create a tower structure. The playing pieces are constructed in a variety of shapes and sizes, each with an assigned value, such that successful stacking rewards the player with points.

Multi-dimensional rotating modified chess game
A chess-like game played by at least two or as many players as possible on a non-polyhedron or a polyhedron rotating surface wherein a number of chess boards are connected to each other, back-to-back and wrapped around the said rotating surface so that the rows of at least two chess boards are parallel.
BOARD 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).
Word-forming game
The word-forming game is a board game comprising a coordinate board, a plurality of tiles, and a randomizing device. The coordinate board comprises a plurality of columns, a plurality of rows, and a plurality of cells. Each cell is identified by the intersection of a selected column and a selected row. Each of the plurality of tiles contains a letter. A portion of the plurality of tiles are distributed between each of the plurality of players. The balance of the tiles are positioned at previously selected cells. Each player uses a randomizing device to select a cell. If a tile is located on the selected cell, the player takes the tile. If a tile is not located on the selected cell, the player places a tile on the selected cell. The first player that completes a five letter word is declared the winner of the game.
Physical 3D Chess Cube with Extended Walls
A three-dimensional chess apparatus comprising a cube-shaped board with extended walls along certain edges. The cube features a 44 checkerboard pattern on each face. Walls extend from edges where adjacent squares are the same color, acting as gameplay barriers and providing ground clearance for pieces on the bottom face. Chess pieces are designed to be shorter than these walls, allowing for stable placement and movement. The game includes Frontier and Crossroads variants affecting pawn movement, and a Revolution variant allowing rotation of cube sections. The apparatus introduces new strategic elements through modified piece movement rules and three-dimensional play. A novel three-digit notation system, with the first digit representing the cube face, enables precise recording of piece positions, accommodating the 3D nature of the game board.
