A board game is disclosed that includes at least two remote-controlled figures moving on a game board. Each of at least two remote-controlled figures moves to knock over an opponent's building models situated at predetermined build sites on the game board. A method of playing the game is also disclosed that includes: each player selecting a remote-controlled figure and a plurality of building models; situating each remote-controlled figure at a predetermined start site on the game board; situating the building models at the plurality of predetermined build sites on the game board; and moving each remote-controlled figure to knock down an opponent's plurality of building models.

The Letter Cubes are block to make buildings that do not just make a statement with their rooms, walls and the like, but also make verbal statements with the blocks themselves. It has a series of three-dimensional fonts made with metal, plastic, ceramic, glass, recycled materials and other materials that magnetically, with knobs, hooks, snaps and tubes (and combinations of these and other interfaces) assemble into walls, buildings and other structures that communicate messages. These alphabets also have a series of related pieces that include numbers, punctuation and additional knobs, beams and panels that enable construction of a wide range of buildings, toys, structures and objects that are artistic, toys, games and that are otherwise useful as boxes, chairs, tables, etc. The invention comes in its own box that is assembled further to the same logic as the alphabets so it does not have packaging waste.

A device for holding playing cards, is disclosed. The device includes a base, wherein the base is configured to hold one or more playing cards. The device includes an opening in the base. The device includes a retaining device configured to provide tension or pressure to the stack of cards. The retaining device is configured to contact a surface of a top card of the one or more cards, and apply a restricting force to the surface, resulting in the one or more cards being retained between the retaining device and the base.

A game board apparatus (100) comprising at least two tokens (130) with a hollow open end (132) and a closed surface (134) including a cavity (136) a projection (138) extending from the closed surface (134); and a board (110) with a plurality of recesses (112) structured on the board (110) to receive the tokens (130), the recess (112) includes a first surface (114), a second surface (116) enclosed by the first surface (114), and a hole (118) at the center of the second surface (116), wherein the hole (118) receives the projection (138) and the second surface (116) receives the hollow open end (132) of the token (130) thereby avoiding displacement of the token (130) from the surface of the board and wherein the cavity (136) in the closed surface of the token receives the projection (138) of the token (130) thereby allowing stacking of the tokens (130). While playing a token (130) is placed over another token (130) forming a stack (144), wherein stacking is done by selecting the shortest path such that the number of steps taken for forming a stack (144) is same as the number of tokens (130) in the stack. FIG. 1 is the representative figure.

An interactive gaming system offer training and education to users in the distribution center, such as employees and field workers, about optimal distribution operations. The system includes a pre-marked surface that resembles a game board. The pre-marked surface can represent a workflow in a distribution center, warehouse, or other type of storage facility. The pre-marked surface can also include a plurality of zones that represent sub-processes or sub-workflows in the distribution center that make up the entire workflow. The system can also include instruction instruments, such as cards, that, when selected by users at the pre-marked surface, provide instructions and/or prompts indicating actions that the users can take to demonstrate distribution operations in the distribution center.

Game piece in the form of a polyomino or polycube or similar, consisting of a number of blocks (5) that are put together in an orthogonal pattern, characterized in that the game piece (4) comprises at least two parts (6) that are each formed by a number of aforementioned blocks (5) connected together in a fixed way, whereby these parts (6) are slidably coupled with respect to one another in such a way that they enable a number of forms of game pieces (4) to be formed with the game piece (4) concerned.
