Abstract
A game kit for and a method of playing an electric game. The game kit for the electric game includes a board, a power source, at least one electrically activated component and electrically conductive game pieces. The electrically conductive game pieces are used to electrically connect an electrically activated component to the power source.
Claims27
A game comprising:
- a board having a power source at a center of the board, a first electrically activated component at a first edge of the board and a second electrically activated component at a second edge of the board;
- a plurality of game cards;
- and
- a plurality of electrically conductive game pieces configured to be selectively attached to the board;
- wherein a first distance between the power source and the first electrically activated component is equal to a second distance between the power source and the second electrically activated component to promote fair game play;
- wherein the power source has a positive connector and a negative connector;
- wherein the first electrically activated component has a first component connector and a second component connector;
- wherein at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive game pieces is configured to be selectively attached to another one of the plurality of electrically conductive game pieces, the power source, the first electrically activated component, and the second electrically activated component;
- wherein the first component connector of the first electrically activated component is electrically connected to the positive connector of the power source by at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive game pieces and the second component connector of the first electrically activated component is electrically connected to the negative connector of the power source by at least another one of the plurality of electrically conductive game pieces,
- wherein the first electrically activated component is activated.
