The invention provides a three-dimensional game board, comprising at least two tiers of board frames arranged up and down, each tier comprising at least one square frame, the size of each square frame in each tier varying, and on each square frame, a position for setting a piece being provided on each of four corners and on the midpoint of each of four sides; four support frames are arranged among the square frames in each tier of the board frame, which connect the positions at the midpoints of corresponding sides of each of the square frames to form a three-dimensional game board.

A game apparatus includes a playing surface having a plurality of playing areas and marking areas. Each of the playing and marking areas includes a plurality of holes arranged into a grid, wherein each of the marking areas is paired with a corresponding playing area. The game apparatus further includes a plurality of playing elements, which form a hidden code and at least one test code, and a plurality of marker elements, which indicate the correlation between the positions of each playing element forming the test code and the positions of the playing elements forming the hidden code. The playing surface of the game apparatus is configurable such that the arrangement of the playing area grids can be selected.

A chess-like game played by at least two or as many players as possible on a non-polyhedron or a polyhedron rotating surface wherein a number of chess boards are connected to each other, back-to-back and wrapped around the said rotating surface so that the rows of at least two chess boards are parallel.

The invention relates to a game board (1) for a board game, having a flat bottom part (2), which can be rolled up corresponding to a roll axis (A) into a transport position and has at least one first edge side (2.1) as well as a second edge side (2.2) opposite the latter, which extend skew to the roll axis (A), a first side part (3) connected along the first edge side (2.1) to the bottom part (2) as well as a second side part (4) connected along the second edge side (2.2) to the bottom part (2), which are designed strip-like and can be adjusted between a use position raised relative to the bottom part (2) and an intermediate position parallel to the latter and can be rolled up from the intermediate position together with the bottom part (2).
In order to make a travel board game available with improved functionality, it is provided according to the invention that the first (3) and second side part (4) in each case have a bistable spring band (7), which extends in a first stable state for stiffening the side part (3, 4) parallel to the adjacent edge side (2.1, 2.2).

The current invention concerns an Sudoku gameboard and a method for producing one. Said gameboard is a sheet comprising a top side which is provided with a plurality of elongate, parallel and equidistant grooves extending at least partially across said top side, said grooves having a predetermined depth and a width to allow tilting of the Sudoku tiles by pressing near the edge of one. The simple relief in the form a groove allows the gameboard to be manufactured easily and speedily. Lastly, it comprises a kit for playing Sudoku, comprising a gameboard and suitable Sudoku tiles.

A device, method, and system for developing, managing, acquiring and playing electronic board games. Game developers may illustratively access one or more electronic game board, game piece templates and/or other game development application software from a game server to design and develop electronic board games. Such electronic board games may then be acquired by game players in the form of full, limited and/or modifiable versions. A game service module of the game server makes a number of electronic board game related services available to game players for managing, playing and acquiring electronic board game collections and/or for enhancing or facilitating electronic board game playing.

A modular gaming apparatus allows for board games such as chess to be played on one or more levels. A base structure include a drawer and a fixed game board, with one or more playing units being provided for stacking atop the base structure. Each playing unit includes a game board, legs, and a track mechanism that allows the game board to slide out for easier player access. A virtual game piece generating unit is also provided, the virtual game piece generating unit allowing for non-physical representations of game pieces to be created. A computing system allows for pairing of electronic devices and processing by means of a processing module and a communications module. The electronic components control the virtual game piece generating unit and also allow for remote play.

Game piece elements that are removably affixable to a surface have an affixation layer, an artwork layer, and an erasable layer. The affixation layer removably affixes the game piece elements to a surface. The artwork layer enhances game play with high quality, pre-made artwork. The erasable layer allows a player to write or draw on the game piece elements during game play, but allows removal of the writing or drawing so the game piece elements can be reused. A method of using the game piece elements has the player securing the elements to a surface, removing and replacing the elements during game play, and writing or drawing on the elements during game play.

A separable assembly includes a cellulose member having a side surface and an end face forming an edge with the side surface. The cellulose member defines an elongated sliding track that extends from an end opening at the end face and has a T-shaped transverse cross-section. The cellulose member defines a side opening along the sliding track at the side surface of the cellulose member. The sliding track further defines a detent recess spaced from the end surface and extending into the cellulose member. The separable assembly includes a rigid plastic member having an edge configured to be received within the end opening of the cellulose member and slid along the sliding track with the plastic member extending through the side opening. The plastic member includes a detent protrusion configured to engage the detent recess.
