The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for playing a multiplayer card game that includes a deck of cards and a holder. The card game utilizes a unique deck of cards and more than one option for gameplay. The variety of card combinations results in a novel and different experience every time the game is played.

The primary method for scoring points is by forming time values. Numbered cards are written in a digital type font from a combination of short, straight lines. Instead of the numbers themselves, these lines are counted and subsequently used for scoring. The winner is awarded elongated sticks for each set of points earned based on the time value formed. The elongated sticks are placed into open storage container until the containers are transformed into a solid shape with the final elongated stick protruding to indicate a player has won the game.

The present invention is a periodic table based game system. The game board has a periodic table of elements printed upon it. Each of the elements is covered by a magnetic piece with a matching atomic number, such that the players may only view the atomic number of the elements. The game begins when the first player chooses a stick or card with an element name and symbol on it. The player then must lift a magnetic piece to reveal the same element that is listed on the stick or card. If they are successful, they are rewarded points and the next player takes a turn. If they fail three times, the next player will also have three attempts to uncover the correct element and receive points. When all magnetic pieces are removed, the player with the highest sum of points wins the game.

The invention relates to a package (10) convertible into a frame, comprising: a flat rectangular support plate (11) having a front surface (70) and a rear surface (72), a rectangular frame element (19) having an outer wall (40) arranged at its outer circumference with a lower and an upper edge (43, 44) and an upper wall (42) of the frame element (19) adjoining with the upper edge (44) on the inside of the frame element (19), and a rectangular lid element (60). The support plate (11), the frame element (19) and the lid element (60) are formed and arrangeable with respect to each other in such a way that in the package state the support plate (11) can be circumferentially gripped by at least the lower edge (43) of the outer wall (40) of the frame element (19). On the upper wall (42) of the frame element (19) parallel to the support plate (11) the lid element (60) is arranged so that a package in parallelepiped shape is created, wherein the support plate (11) and at least the lid element (60) form the top and the bottom side of the package (10), and the outer wall (40) of the frame element (19) forms the side walls of the package. In the frame state the frame element (19) is arranged on the front surface (70) of the support plate (11) along its circumference, and the lid element (60) is arranged either on the rear surface (72) of the support plate (11) or between the front surface (70) of the support plate (11) and the frame element (19).

A game and game board which is symbolic to real life scenarios incurred within the advertising business. Each player is an ad-agency president. Each player/president attains throughout the game numerous cards each of which represent a staff member, an executive or a client/account. The cards each have a numerical value associated therewith.

The present invention discloses a lightweight and large-capacity garage kit carrying case, including a case body provided with a case opening door on a circumferential surface thereof. The case body is formed by splicing a plurality of double-layer plastic panels with hollow interiors; a plurality of small bumps are correspondingly formed side by side on opposite surfaces of the plastic panels, located on two sides of the case opening door, of the case body; a cargo chute is formed between two adjacent rows of upper and lower small bumps; and a tray capable of being pulled along a direction of the case opening door is erected between two cargo chutes arranged symmetrically. The case features light weight, high strength, large capacity, and high space utilization, making it convenient to carry a large number of garage kit models for board games.

Removal of game pieces or tiles from the recesses of a game board surface having a raised grid to prevent sliding of the game pieces on the board is facilitated by providing, in one embodiment, a flexible game board which can be bent into a generally U-shaped structure to form a funnel to deposit the game pieces into a receptacle by funneling action. An alternative embodiment provides for pivotably mounted full boards or portions of boards which are rotated on their pivots to deposit the game pieces in a receptacle forming the frame for the structure. Another embodiment provides a grid with a slot under it for receiving a smooth-surfaced marked game board surface under the grid. The game board can be pulled out from under the grid to let game pieces fall down into a receptacle.

A jigsaw puzzle table includes: a puzzle board; a board bracket, wherein the puzzle board is mounted on a mounting end of the board bracket; a lower support, wherein the board bracket is mounted between the puzzle board and the lower support, the board bracket and the lower support are configured to support the puzzle board, the board bracket and the lower support are movably connected to each other; and a positioning fastener, connected to at least one of the board bracket and the lower support. The positioning fastener is configured to secure the board bracket and the lower support to fix a height of the puzzle board. The positioning fastener is further configured to release the security between the board bracket and the lower support to enable the board bracket and the lower support to be at least partially movable to adjust the supported height.

Players attempt to be the first person to move from the start of the board puzzle piece to the end of board. The game is played in at least three phases, with each phase utilizing different game pieces. Phase one consists of creating a puzzle pattern by placing background puzzle pieces on the puzzle game board and connecting background puzzle pieces already on the board. Phase two consists of placing color overlay puzzle pieces on top of the background puzzle pieces that make up the puzzle pattern. Phase three is accomplished by each player selecting a playing card and then either strategically migrating their creature by moving contiguously between the creature spots or by jumping from a color overlay creature spot to a different color overlay creature spot, as described on the playing card selected. The game ends when a player moves off the end of board.

Provided is a game system that includes game pieces, each having a perimeter that includes multiple edges, such that each edge of any individual one of the game pieces meshes with each edge of any other individual one of the game pieces, with all of the edges, across all of the game pieces, being identical to each other. Also, each of the edges is contoured such that when a first edge of a first piece is meshed with a second edge of a second piece, movement between the first piece and the second piece is limited, but the first piece and the second piece are not interlocked with each other so that they can be simply slid apart from each other.
