A method of playing a tile-on-shape game comprising:
- providing a plurality of tiles, where the plurality of tiles are a first tile design or second tile design;
- wherein the first tile design further comprises:
- an upper face;
- a plurality of edges, where the plurality of edges is at least three linear edges, circumferential edges, or combination of linear edges and circumferential edges;
- a lower face;
- a play indicia disposed on the upper face;
- wherein the second tile design further comprises:
- an upper face;
- a plurality of edges, where the plurality of edges is at least three linear edges, circumferential edges, or combination of linear edges and circumferential edges;
- a lower face;
- a play indicia disposed on the upper face;
- at least one projection extending from the lower face, where the at least one projection is a singular projection, an octagonal projection, or a plurality of projections;
- wherein the at least one projection is dimensioned to fit in a recess in a plurality of playing shapes;
- wherein the singular projection further comprises a plurality of edges of the projection parallel to the plurality of edges of the at least one tile;
- wherein the octagonal projection further comprises:
- a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, a fifth side, a sixth side, a seventh side and an eighth side;
- wherein the first side, the third side, the fifth side, and the seventh side are parallel to the plurality of edges and form a lips;
- wherein the second side is disposed 45 degrees to the first side and the third side, the fourth side is disposed 45 degrees to the third side and the fifth side, the sixth side is disposed 45 degrees to the fifth side and the seventh side, and the eighth side is disposed 45 degrees to the seventh side and the first side:
- wherein the plurality of projections are at least two cylindrical projections;
- providing a plurality of playing shapes, where the plurality of playing shapes comprise:
- a shape surface having a first face and a second face;
- a plurality of shape edges, where the plurality of shape edges is at least three linear edges, circumferential edges, or combination of linear edges and circumferential edges;
- a plurality of sides, wherein the plurality of sides have a width smaller than the width of the first face;
- at least one recess disposed on the first face, wherein the recess is complementary to the at least one tile of the first tile design or a projection extending from the at least one tile of the second tile design;
- wherein the at least one recess is dimensioned such that the at least one tile or the projection extending from the at least one tile is accepted within the at least one recess;
- at least one play surface disposed on the first face of the playing shape, where the play surface defines the placement of one tile;
- mixing the plurality of tiles together, wherein the plurality of tiles are mixed in a bag or pile;
- selecting at least one tile from the bag or pile wherein the selected tiles form a player's tile pile;
- constructing a gameplay puzzle, comprising:
- placing a plurality of play shapes into play, wherein the play shapes adjoin at least one other play shape on at least one of the plurality of shape edges;
- placing at least one tile from the player's tile pile onto each play surface of the played shape, wherein the tile placement forms at least one word or sequence of numbers, colors, math equations, pathways, or icons on the played shape;
- wherein the at least one tile is placed into the at least one recess of the plurality of playing shapes where the tile is the first tile design, or wherein the projection is placed into the at least one recess of the plurality of playing shapes where the tile is the second tile design;
- and
- continuing play until a scoring event is triggered, wherein the scoring event is a first player to complete use of the player's play shapes, successfully playing all play shapes, or every player is unable to place a shape in the same round.
