Abstract
This invention relates to a modular gaming map, where a set of components can be assembled into a variety of configurations to create a three-dimensional map as a supplement for simulated battles and role-playing games, and compatible with industry standard figurines and models.
Claims16
A modular assembly for gaming, comprising:
- at least two modules connected by at least one coupler;
- the at least two modules each including,
- a first side,
- the first side is opposite a second side,
- the first side and the second side are connected by at least three edge sides,
- the first side including a top surface,
- the second side including at least one coupler pocket,
- the at least one coupler pocket of the second side includes a tapered coupler fit by a narrowing of the at least one coupler pocket from the second side towards the first side,
- the at least three edge sides include a coupler notch, and
- the coupler notch is adjoining the tapered coupler fit of the second side;
- the at least two modules are oriented to have at least one of their at least three edge sides adjacent to another module edge side, such that the coupler pockets of the adjacent modules lined up to receive the coupler;
- the at least one coupler includes,
- a top side, a space saving side, two substantially oblong-shaped coupler heads,
- the two substantially oblong-shaped coupler heads are oppositely arranged from each other and connected by one coupler neck, and
- the at least one coupler makes a tapered coupler fit between the coupler pocket of the at least two adjacent modules by the space saving side of the at least one coupler being compressed first into the narrowing of at least one coupler pocket from the second side toward the first side of the adjacent modules.
