A toy vehicle play set includes a mechanical accelerator for toy vehicles and a game board defining point value zones within a field of play. A collision game may be played with the parts of the kit and with the players contributing their own toy vehicles, in which a first player positions “defensive” vehicles and a second player dynamically introduces a series of “offensive” vehicles into the field of play. Scoring is determined by the at rest positions of the “offensive” vehicles in defined point value zones.

The invention relates to a game element (1a), preferably of a board game box (B1, B2, B3) comprising: —a central portion (10a) comprising four sides (11a, 12a, 13a, 14a); —side portions (15a, 16a, 17a, 18a) each connected to one side (11a, 12a, 13a, 14a) of the central portion (10) so that the side portions (15a, 16a, 17a, 18a) can be moved from a first position (P0) to a second position (P1): —the first position (P0) being a position in which said member (1a) is flat; —the second position (P1) being a position wherein the side portions are raised relative to the central portion (10a) so that said member (1a) forms a game board for a board game.

A Mexican Train dominoes kit, including a top portion having a plurality of top edges, a bottom portion having a plurality of bottom edges and spaced from the top portion, and a plurality of elongated side portions operationally connectable to respective spaced top and bottom portions for defining an interior volume. Each respective elongated side portion further includes a top surface and an oppositely disposed bottom surface, a plurality of first elongated grooves formed in the top surface, a plurality of second grooves formed in the bottom surface, first and second oppositely disposed elongated side surfaces, and first and second matable connectors operationally connected to respective first and second elongated side surfaces, wherein each respective first matable connector is removably connectable to each respective second matable connector. The kit further includes a roundhouse portion removably connectable to the top portion, wherein the roundhouse portion further defines a generally circular base member, a plurality of slots formed equidistantly around the generally circular base member, a raised dais operationally connected to the generally circular base member, a plurality of recesses formed in the generally circular base member, each respective recess extending from a respective slot to the dais, a plurality of elongated train tokens operationally connected to the raised dais, each respective elongated train token extendable into a respective recess, and a cap member covering the dais and having a recess formed therein for accepting a domino. The kit also includes a plurality of dominoes and a handle portion for lockingly engaging one or more respective first elongated groove.

Provided herein are various types of foldable game boards and foldable objects which include a plurality of elongated base panels each of which has an inner surface, an outer surface, and a side panel oriented perpendicularly on each end. The inner surface is capable securely holding game pieces when in an open configuration. The game boards and objects described herein can be folded to a closed configuration to form a hollow polygonal prism. This configuration gives rise to a space for the storage of pieces on the inner surface of the elongated base panels during closed configuration and includes magnetic plates underneath for the purpose of holding pieces in place to save the game state at any point.

My invention is a puzzle game that is used for entertainment purposes. The game is played on a puzzle cube with cards and window cling markers as additional pieces to the game. The object of the game is for the first person to get all their numbers in a row on the puzzle cube to win. I wanted to still have the fun and excitement of how we have played bingo in the past with a twist. By improving this game it will help to meet the needs of our game players who enjoy bingo.

A spinner (100) adapted to spin on a surface comprising: a spinning mechanism (300) activated by a string (142); a structure encapsulating the spinning mechanism (300); a plurality of tentacles (110) having two ends, wherein each tentacle (110) is in connected to the structure on one end and terminated with a connector on the free end; a flywheel (122) having a tip (121), wherein the flywheel (122) is connected to the spinning mechanism (300) from the opposite side of the tip (121); and wherein upon pulling the string (142) the spinner (100) spins, wherein the tip (121) is in contact with the surface and the plurality of tentacles (110) are slightly elevated above the surface while the spinner (100) spins.

According to one embodiment, the apparatus of the present invention includes one or more artificial fish which are removably placed on a support member and which can be engaged and removed by an operation which is similar to the action of fishing. An artificial lure is positioned over the support member and pulled toward the user in an attempt to engage the lure with one of the fish. If the lure engages such a fish, the fish is considered to be caught and can be drawn away from the support member toward the user. Additionally, one or more of the fish may be secured to the back side of the support member by way of an elastic bungee that extends when fish is pulled away from the support and then retracts to pull the fish back to the support after the fish has been released from the lure.

An improved cribbage scoring device (6) composed of a pliable material (24), which is stored in a wrapped position around a deck of cards (14) and secured with a fastener (7). The pliable material is more lightweight, compactable, and versatile than previous art, allowing for improved ability to transport the device (6) and use during travel. Points are scored using pins (10) placed vertically into a series of dots representing points, which are reproduced on the pliable material. The pins (10) securely affix in the pliable material (24) allowing for play on instable surfaces and in variable environments. The pins (10) can also be woven flush with the pliable material (24), marking the dot representing the highest score achieved by each player in an unfinished game, thus allowing for the storage of the device (6) and continuation of play at a later place and time.
