Board game with dynamic characteristic tracking

A game object for playing a board game, the game object comprising:

• an interface for communicating with a controller:
• a body configured to represent a character of the board game;
• and
• a first memory device that stores a unique identifier and one or more of a set of characteristic values including a set of trait data and a set of history data associated with the game object, wherein the interface enables the controller via a wireless adapter to adjust the trait data of the characteristic values associated with the game object based on the unique identifier of the game object such that different game objects are adjusted differently by the controller based on the same external events or game events.

A server for use with a board game including one or more game objects, the server comprising:

• a. a first memory device including a first database for storing a unique identifier and one or more of a set of characteristic values associated with each of the one or more game objects, wherein each of the game objects are physical game objects;
• and
• b. an interface for establishing a connection to a controller, wherein the controller adjusts via a wireless adapter at least one of the set of characteristic values associated with one of the game objects, wherein the characteristic values include a set of trait data and a set of history data;
• wherein the adjustments of the characteristic values of the game objects by the controller via the wireless adapter are altered based on the unique identifier of each game object such that different game objects are adjusted differently by the controller based on the same external events or game events.

A method of playing a board game including one or more game objects, the method comprising:

• a. storing a unique identifier and one or more of a set of characteristic values associated with a game object in a first memory device, wherein each of the game objects are physical objects;
• b. adjusting at least one of the set of characteristic values associated with one of the game objects with a controller via a wireless adapter based on game events that occur while playing the board game with the game objects;
• and
• c. adjusting the characteristic values with the controller based on external events that occur separate from the playing of the board game with the game objects;
• wherein the adjustments are altered based on the unique identifier such that different game objects are adjusted differently based on the same external events or game events.
