System and Methods for Generating a Game Board and Playing Games Therewith
The present disclosure relates to a system and methods for a board game in which boards, each containing multiple letters are combined in numerous combinations and configurations in order to generate and play different board games on different game boards. The object of the board game is for a player or team to place that team's colored translucent chips or tokens on letters and adjacent letters to create words, thereby creating a line or path of chips. By using this line of chips and adding to the line at each turn, the player or team can meet certain objectives, such as connecting various locations or ends on the game board, or racing from one end of the game board to the other, and other objectives as necessary to play each game.
Polar Coordinate Board Game and Method of Play
A board game and method of play. The board game includes a plurality of game boards each having a circular path thereon, each of the circular paths having a plurality of angle spaces each corresponding to an angle between zero and three hundred sixty degrees, and a central space disposed on a center of each game board. Each player has a number of uniquely colored tokens. A first die is configured to provide an outcome of either one or zero when rolled, and a second die is configured to provide an outcome between zero and three hundred sixty when rolled. The method of play includes rolling each die and placing a token on a space corresponding to the outcome of each die roll. The game ends when one player aligns three tokens on a majority of the game boards.
Plot Compass For Creating Gameboards and Moving Pieces
The invention relates to a strategy game that uses a new game device, called a plot compass, that enables two or more players to create a custom gameboard map with tiles of congruent regular polygons. The different circumstances by which these plot compasses create new types of tile allows the game to mark such tile types differently. Differently-marked tiles can signify different kinds of terrain, such as allied or enemy houses of any given individual player—houses that can be as short as one-story huts, or as tall as multi-story towers. When other circumstances create other types of tile, they can be marked as natural terrains that are player-neutral, like mountains, plains, or lakes, along with one cratered hole, and one volcano that can shift its position vis-a-vis all the other tiles during each round of tile creation. Such terrains together can form, in each game, the distinctive geography of a customized one-of-a-kind gameboard, each gameboard resembling an irregularly-shaped island of Micronesia, surrounded by sea.
The invention also relates to one or more players using such a plot compass to move pieces from their resident, occupied tiles to land on targeted tiles on that same gameboard. Hence any player can engage in competitive acts of gameboard creation and gameboard piece movement, solely by using this plot compass device, acting with other players during rounds of simultaneous play.
Dynamic gameboard
A dynamic gameboard comprising an electronic control system and a board having a plurality of dynamic board pieces, wherein the electronic control system includes a server, lift control board and a user interface, the server having a first processor, a first memory, and a first communication device, wherein instructions are stored on the first memory to cause the first processor to direct the lift control board to instruct the plurality of dynamic board pieces to move between a first position and a second position, and between the second position and the first position, where the first position is a fully extended up position and the second position is a fully recessed down position; the lift control board having a second processor, a second memory, and a second communication device, and the user interface having a third processor, a third memory, and a third communication device.
GAMES
A game comprises a matrix that includes a central core and a plurality of stems emanating from the central core, with the lengths of the stems and the orientations of the stems such that the outer ends (or terminals) of the stems are on the surface of a cube, and playing pieces for attachment to the outer ends (or terminals) of the stems.
TABLE TOP GAME BOARD SYSTEM AND COOPERATING COMPONENTS
The present invention comprises a chance and strategy game system wherein pawns race to home through a continuously changing maze. The movement of the maze barrier members and the pawns, which occurs with each player's turn, has the surprising benefit of continually rebalancing the likelihood of winning. Because of this characteristic, the game works well for a mixture all ages and experience levels. It is a very family friendly game since all players experience many little wins throughout the game. The game works for 2 or more players as individuals or as teams. In addition, it is one of the few board games that can end in a tie.
Game system
A game system may comprise a board comprising a plurality of pegs extending from the board, wherein the pegs may be disposed in rows; at least one deflector configured to be coupled to at least two pegs aligned with one another; at least one ball configured to move on the board between and/or along the pegs and deflector(s) from a start end to a goal end of the board; at least one goal configured to be coupled to at least two pegs in a goal row of the rows of pegs, wherein the goal is configured to receive a ball; and a plurality of play selectors which determine a play for each player during a turn of a game. The goal of the game may be to get a ball into a goal by navigating across the board having the pegs and deflectors as obstacles to movement of the ball.
Methodology for creating sets of related word games and puzzles based on linking rationally chosen letter pairs and/or triplets and linking words that are transformations of each other
A word game for being played among one or more participants includes a plurality of two letter word bits, each having a fixed letter combination, wherein the one or more participants attempt to create words of at least four letters by combining the word bits.
GAME SYSTEM
A game system may comprise a board comprising a plurality of pegs extending from the board, wherein the pegs may be disposed in rows; at least one deflector configured to be coupled to at least two pegs aligned with one another; at least one ball configured to move on the board between and/or along the pegs and deflector(s) from a start end to a goal end of the board; at least one goal configured to be coupled to at least two pegs in a goal row of the rows of pegs, wherein the goal is configured to receive a ball; and a plurality of play selectors which determine a play for each player during a turn of a game. The goal of the game may be to get a ball into a goal by navigating across the board having the pegs and deflectors as obstacles to movement of the ball.
Hunting Board Game
A hunting board game that includes: 12-sided die, a plurality of playing tokens, a deck of Supply cards, a deck of Hunt cards, a box, a tray, and a substantial supply of play money in various denominations comprises a hunting board game. Users roll the die (once per player per turn), draw cards, and move their tokens around the playing board according to rules provided in the rulebook. The first player or team to complete a predetermined number of hunts is the winner.
