A board game includes a game metric and a game piece. The game piece is usable within the game metric. The game piece includes a game piece body, and a plurality of interchangeable components that are selectively and magnetically coupled to the game piece body. The game can further include a first magnet that is coupled to the game piece body, and a second magnet that is coupled to one of the plurality of interchangeable components. The magnets can be positioned relative to one another such that the first magnet selectively engages the second magnet so that the one of the plurality of interchangeable components can be selectively and magnetically coupled to the game piece body.

A game (2) comprising: a game board (11) comprising a series of ridges, each of the ridges (10) comprising a first face (32) and a second face (33), wherein the second face (33) of each ridge (10) faces toward a first player at one side (30b) of the game board (11) and the first face (32) of each ridge (10) faces toward a second player sitting opposite the first player at an opposite side (30a) of the game board (11); a playing piece (13) comprising a base (44) which corresponds to the faces (32, 33) of the ridges (10); and a die (12) comprising four or more faces (42), each face (42) indicating a numeric value (43), wherein at least one of the numeric values (43) is indicated on at least two of the faces (42).

The board comprises of plurality of hollows of a specific shape. The board game apparatus can have plurality of tokens for example 32 with each token having five attributes or features or the like. In an embodiment of the invention, the five attributes can be outer boundary of token, base color of token, inner shape of token, inner shape color of token and shape of the hole at the center of the token. The players play with all the 32 tokens kept in the common pool by placing one token at a time as per their turn on the board. The tokens can be arranged based on at least one attribute in common. The players pre-define the number of attributes to place their token adjoining wall of any one or more walls of already placed tokens on the board.

Apparatus and methods for playing an orientation-based tabletop game in which one or more game components have functions that vary depending on the orientation of the game component on the game board as compared to the physical location of player positions around the game board. As pieces rotate during the course of play, functional indicators on the game pieces alter the rules or functions of the game piece in the game with respect to each player, depending upon the orientation of the game piece in relation to each player.

A card tile deck includes a plurality of card tiles divided into multiple zones with each of the zones including either a first indicia, a second indicia, a third indicia, or a null indicia. A method of playing a game includes forming a build stack of played card tiles from the plurality of card tiles by repeatedly positioning an active card tile on top of a played card tile with one of the zones of the active card tile substantially overlapping one of the zones of the played card tile. A null indicia can be covered by either the first indicia, the second indicia, or the null indicia. The first indicia or second indicia can be covered by either the third indicia or the null indicia. A third indicia can be covered by the null indicia.

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.

A card tile deck includes a plurality of card tiles divided into multiple zones with each of the zones including either a first indicia, a second indicia, a third indicia, or a null indicia. A method of playing a game includes forming a build stack of played card tiles from the plurality of card tiles by repeatedly positioning an active card tile on top of a played card tile with one of the zones of the active card tile substantially overlapping one of the zones of the played card tile. A null indicia can be covered by either the first indicia, the second indicia, or the null indicia. The first indicia or second indicia can be covered by either the third indicia or the null indicia. A third indicia can be covered by the null indicia.
