Die Having Spherical Members
A die having spherical members is provided. The die includes a central member, wherein a plurality of spherical members, each having a radius, are disposed on the central member. The radius is such that each of the plurality of spherical members is in tangential contact with each adjacent spherical member. The die can rest on at least three of the plurality of spherical members. An alternate embodiment includes a central member having an equator, wherein a plurality of spherical members are disposed about the equator. The plurality of spheres are disposed at a vertex of a polygon inscribed within the equator, such that the radius allows each of the plurality of spheres to tangentially contact each adjacent sphere. The die rests on two of the plurality of spheres and one of a first end of the central member and a second end of the central member.
TOY FIGURINE AND/OR TOY THAT PRESENTS SUBSTANTIALLY RANDOM PRESELECTED INFORMATION
A toy figurine and/or toy includes a body portion having an internal cavity, a substantially transparent portal through which contents of the internal cavity are viewable, and a die. The internal cavity includes a fluid and the die is freely floating in the fluid, and the die includes a plurality of faces. Each of these faces includes a visual element.
Collapsible polyhedron
A collapsible, self-expanding polyhedron comprises a plurality of side members each connected with an elastic band that is sized to urge each side wall of adjacent side members together to form an expanded configuration. When the polyhedron is compressed on two opposing side members, which causes the other side members to separate into a collapsed configuration, the elastic band expands to a maximum length with maximum tension. Once the compression is released, the at least one elastic band retracts back to a minimum length and urges the side members back into the expanded configuration.
PLAYING DEVICE
The invention relates to dice suitable for use in gaming. In particular the invention relates to a new indicator system for use in gaming dice, the indicator system providing a di value. More specifically the invention relate to a di incorporating the indicator system providing a di value, and the use of the di to provide a di value, and a method of using the di.
Dice angle game
A dice angle game is played on an apparatus that has a playing surface, at least one side wall, at least one barrier within the playing area, at least one demarcated scoring area, at least one enhanced scoring area of sufficient size for at least one die to enter, and a plurality of dice. The game is played by rolling a dice against a side wall and trying to have it land in a scoring area.
Gaming Die with Incongruent Sides and More Sides than Outcomes
This invention is a gaming die that use a combination of incongruent sides and a number of sides that is greater than the number of outcomes in order to produce practically fair results.
Toy figurine and/or toy that presents substantially random preselected information
A toy figurine and/or toy includes a body portion having an internal cavity, a substantially transparent portal through which contents of the internal cavity are viewable, and a die. The internal cavity includes a fluid and the die is freely floating in the fluid, and the die includes a plurality of faces. Each of these faces includes a visual element.
DICE ANGLE GAME
A dice angle game is played on an apparatus that has a playing surface, at least one side wall, at least one barrier within the playing area, at least one demarcated scoring area, at least one enhanced scoring area of sufficient size for at least one die to enter, and a plurality of dice. The game is played by rolling a dice against a side wall and trying to have it land in a scoring area.
Highly Configurable Game System
Methods and systems for versatile and scalable board games include a double dovetail scalable board, crown, bridge, and door game pieces, tilting mechanisms and game play, rolling sphere game play, and a marble kinetic timer.
Rollable Two-Sided Die
It is an object of one or more embodiments of the present disclosure to provide a rollable two-sided die. The rollable two-sided die is constructed of a first piece and a second piece, bonded, molded, or shaped together. The first and second pieces have a similar shape to one another and the first and second piece are created in parallel to one another, and overlap at least in part in a lengthwise direction.
