20090174143 | Learning System and Method and Pattern Matching Design Game Implementing Same - A set of different metal and rope components can be used by groups or individuals to match a pre-determined pattern. A game operator can provide the individual or team with individual assembly components and a pre-determined pattern diagram. The team is then required to configure the different available components so as to match the diagram. In one embodiment of the present invention, the diagram is provided in black-and-white and the assembly components are in color. In one embodiment, a game is provided whereby a team uses trial and error to first build the assembly of pieces to match the diagram. Next, the team must plan and rehearse a strategy for quickly re-assembling the pieces to match the diagram while being timed by a clock. The process in accordance with the present invention is self-checking in that there is only one unique solution to the pre-determined assembly. | 07-09-2009 |
20100264589 | STACKING BLOCK TOWER BUILDING GAME - A multi-player, multi-level stacking block game is formed from cubes of non-uniform size and is scored in such a fashion as to reward bold play but penalize the player that causes the stacked tower to fall down. The game includes 72 pieces which comprise six (6) sets of 12 pieces each. A player is selected to begin and rolls a die to determine which piece he or she plays. The piece is placed on a 3×3 grid having 9 squares. Players ultimately take turns placing a piece on the grid, and above it, until the tower either falls down or, if all 72 pieces are used, the player with the highest score wins. The playing pieces are uniquely structured so that at least one dimension of the subset of player pieces is not a multiple of another piece in that subset in order to enhance the instability factor of the game. The score that the player receives is an accumulation of the scores based upon piece location and how many levels a player piece occupies as well as if the player can occupy all 9 cubes on a particular level. | 10-21-2010 |
20110133406 | Game Apparatus Which Combines with Gears and Blocks - The present invention discloses a game apparatus which combines with gears and blocks. A top surface of a block unit is provided with at least one gear unit, a shaft at a bottom of the gear unit is snapped into a hole at a top of the block unit, and a slot in a top center of the gear unit provides for locking of a snap of a turntable. When a user holds a handle of the turntable to drive the gear unit to rotate, that gear unit can also drive the peripheral gear units to rotate accordingly. | 06-09-2011 |
