Methods and apparatus are described for preserving and improving board games by changing the game board from a passive cardboard board to a dynamic computer controlled board while keeping the other tangible parts of the game unchanged—dice, game pieces, etc. The inherent values of board games are preserved, while improving the attractiveness of board games by using computing systems and advanced technologies.

An arithmetic game is played by selecting a target value that is an integer between 1 and 9. A field of initial integers is selected and subsequent fields of integers are generated by strategically selecting and combining integers from the field of initial integers or from another subsequent field of integers. At least one combined integer or at least one operated integer is added to, subtracted from, multiplied by, or divided by at least one other combined integer or at least one other operated integer to produce at least one sum, difference, product, or quotient that is a calculated integer. Subsequent fields of integers are created until a target field is created with no carried integers and the remaining calculated or combined integers are added, subtracted, multiplied, or divided to produce a sum, difference, product, or quotient that is the target value.

An interactive group-specific player board game method comprising the steps of drawing a grid and labeling a plurality of blocks in a sequential process from 1 to n, wherein n depends on the size of the grid, rolling a dice by each player sequentially and recording a number on the dice until each box on the grid has a unique number, establishing a set of at least 6 rules by the group-specific players, each rule corresponding to a unique action to be performed by the players, rolling the dice by at least one player, moving the number of blocks on the board game corresponding to the number on the dice, receiving the action to be performed by the player based on the unique number on the grid established by the set of rules, determining the completion of the action by the remaining group-specific players.

A magnetic sudoku board has a housing, a closeable lid and an inner playing surface. The inner playing surface having gridlines to form the magnetic sudoku board. An assortment of magnetic playing pieces includes a large set and small set. To distinguish between the numbers, 1-9, the assortment of magnetic playing pieces has a certain color that corresponds to a specific number. Accordingly, the same number in both the large set and the small set have coordinating colors. These colors visually assist the player so that the same numbers are not repeated in each column, row, and 3×3 grid box.

A circular logic puzzle The “CIRCULAR” puzzle has similarities to Sudoku and Latin squares in problem solving, and in this new circular format the many different varieties of game play and playing surfaces can be produced gives many new challenges and perspectives for those who enjoy solving logic puzzles.

A logic cube for teaching, learning, entertainment and motivation is presented. The logic cube has indicia arranged in well-defined orientations including radial symmetry, pairing pattern and triple logic. The pairing pattern helps to generate meaningful combinations for applications involving sets of two (2). The triple logic helps to generate meaningful combinations for applications involving sets of three (3). Radial symmetry helps generate meaningful combinations involving a greater number of indicia. Applying the exclusion logic helps to avoid meaningless or undesirable combinations and ambigrams help to include indicia which can be read in multiple orientations. The invention of logic cube provides a new function which can be applied to numerous areas such as science, arts, food, fashion, motivation and general education and it provides a novel experience as compared to prior art. The invention of logic cube could be applied to other geometric shapes such as tetrahedron (Pyraminx®) and dodecahedron (Megaminx®) and sizes other than 3×3×3.

A game apparatus comprises a set of fifteen dual-sided playing pieces, a pair of dice, a stock tray, and at least two collector trays. Each of the dual-sided playing pieces has a first face comprising an indicia selected from a plurality of indicia and a second face, opposite the first face, comprising another indicia selected from the plurality of indicia. Each die comprises a number of facets corresponding to the number of indicia in the plurality of indicia. The stock tray is configured to hold a predetermined number of the dual-sided playing pieces that are available for play. Each of the at least two collector trays are configured to hold a predetermined number of the dual-sided playing pieces that are no longer available for play.

Educational math strategy games and methods of playing the same. The math strategy game may include a game board defining a plurality of spaces, a plurality of dice, and a plurality of distinct sets of game tokens for covering one or more of the plurality of spaces. During game play, a player may roll five dodecahedron dice and select a product of any two dice rolled. A token is placed onto the game board over one of the plurality of spaces matching the product selected. Game play continues until one player or team covers a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal series of adjacent spaces.

The mechanics of See It Say It Know It Multiplication Tables involve moving pieces around a large board and discovering the product or answers by uncovering the multiplicand with dice rolls.

It is a game board kit, including twelve individual game boards, each game board configured to resemble the shape of or depict a number 1-12, known as a multiplier. Each number 1-12 has a corresponding (colored-coded) game board, with twelve numbers arranged on each game board. Also, the twelve numbers on each game board correspond to a product of a multiplier, which is a number 1-12 and is the multiplicand of the respective game board.

And twelve (color-coded) disks, each disk depicting one of a number corresponding to 1-12 and configured to cover one of the 12 numbers arranged on each game board.
