RECONFIGURABLE BOARD GAME SYSTEM
A reconfigurable boardgame system herein comprises a reconfigurable boardgame board (e.g., four panel tri-fold) with a plurality of “page-retaining corner members” in corners of board panels, allowing interchanging customized boardgame pages. In one embodiment, only those corners of each panel that are exteriorly located on the board have corresponding corner members (leaving the center unobstructed). In another embodiment, the boardgame board is contained within a reconfigurable boardgame kit, which may comprise reusable (e.g., generic and shared) game pieces (dice, timers, pawns, etc.) for use by many games. In still another embodiment, the boardgame kit comprises blank and/or templated items to be filled in, such as boardgame panels, cards, customized dice, game pawn blanks, rules templates, etc. Envelopes may store the game panel pages, rules, and custom pieces of each individual boardgame, to be stored in the kit and used with the reconfigurable boardgame board and the generic reusable game pieces.
Dice game and associated dice game assembly for playing the same
A dice game assembly that is easy to assemble, disassemble, store and transport in a low-profile configuration, including: a left sidewall; a right sidewall; a backwall; wherein the left sidewall, the right sidewall, and the backwall form a dice collection region for collecting thrown dice proximate thereto; and twelve numerical gaming pieces, wherein the twelve numerical gaming pieces are independently rotatably displaceable between a first, unplayed position and a second, played position.
Interactive Toy
A toy having a theme comprises a puzzle including first pieces, second pieces and a frame support. The first pieces are configured to be assembled into a three-dimensional structure. Each of the first pieces includes at least one of a tab and a hole. In particular, the hole is sized and shaped to receive the tab of another one of the pieces. Each of the second pieces are configured to interactively cooperate with the three-dimensional set piece. Each of the first and second pieces also includes a graphic image associated with the theme of the toy. The frame support is substantially flat with a first side having recesses for receiving each of the first and second pieces. The frame support also has a second side, opposite the first side having a graphic image (e.g., representative of a stage) associated with the theme of the toy.
Game for Learning Bible Teachings
The present invention relates to a bingo style game system and a method of playing the bingo style game. The game system includes a plurality of custom designed bingo style cards having Bible book names printed on their surface with each name printed in a cell of a grid formed in rows and columns, a plurality of word chips having book names and column identifiers printed thereon wherein the word chips are used by a leader or caller for announcing a combination of column identifier and book name. The book names on the bingo style cards are daubed or marked by players to form a winning combination or pattern to win the game. The game helps individuals to learn book names and scriptures of the Bible while providing fun and entertainment of conventional bingo style games.
Sequentially operated modules
Method, modules and a system formed by connecting the modules for controlling payloads are disclosed. An activation signal is propagated in the system from a module to the modules connected to it. Upon receiving an activation signal, the module (after a pre-set or random delay) activates a payload associated with it, and transmits the activation signal (after another pre-set or random delay) to one or more modules connected to it. The system is initiated by a master module including a user activated switch producing the activation signal. The activation signal can be propagated in the system in one direction from the master to the last module, or carried bi-directionally allowing two way propagation, using a module which revert the direction of the activation signal propagation direction. A module may be individually powered by an internal power source such as a battery, or connected to external power source such as AC power. The system may use remote powering wherein few or all of the modules are powered from the same power source connected to the system in a single point. The power may be carried over dedicated wires or concurrently with the conductors carrying the activation signal. The payload may be a visual or an audible signaling device, and can be integrated within a module or external to it. The payload may be powered by a module or using a dedicated power source, and can involve randomness associated with its activation such as the delay, payload control or payload activation.
Container utilizing angle elements
A container, including a number of angle elements. Each angle element includes a) a horizontal puzzle member including a male knob at one end and a female lock at the other end; and, b) a vertical member including a vertically extending male adjunct at one end thereof and a vertically extending female adjunct at the other end thereof, the vertical member being integrally orthogonally connected to the horizontal puzzle member. The angle elements are configurable, i.e. can be assembled, to form a container by: engagement of the male knobs of the plurality of angle elements with female locks of adjacent angle elements; and, engagement of the vertically extending male adjuncts of the angle elements with female adjuncts of adjacent angle elements. The container may include corner angle elements and additional types of angle elements such as intermediate angle elements, curved angle applications, L-shaped angle elements, etc.
Educational gaming system
An educational gaming system includes control cards, road pieces and a robotic device. Each of the control cards has a graphic corresponding to an instruction. The road pieces are arranged to form a road on which the robotic device is configured to move. The robotic device is communicable with an electronic device that executes an application program. The electronic device captures an image of the graphic of the control card, conducts a machine learning algorithm based on the image to obtain the instruction, and transmits the instruction to the robotic device. The robotic device obtains a road-piece signal value that is generated by scanning one of the road pieces, and performs movement based on the instruction and the road-piece signal value.
