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.
Claims15
A method of playing a board game comprising:
- providing a board, providing a power source, the power source attached to the board;
- providing a plurality of electrically activated components, the plurality of electrically activated components attached to the board;
- providing a plurality of electrically conductive game pieces, the electrically conductive game pieces configured to be selectively attached to the game board;
- providing a plurality of game cards, wherein each card of the plurality of game cards has indicia of at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive game pieces located thereon;
- determining an order of a plurality of players including a first player and a second player;
- the first player selecting a first game card and placing the at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive game pieces indicated by the first game card on the board;
- the second player selecting a second game card and placing the at least one of the plurality of the electrically conductive game pieces indicated by the second game card on the board;
- and the plurality of players taking turns selecting game cards and placing the at least one of the plurality of electrically conductive game pieces indicated by the selected game card on the board until one of the plurality of electrically activated components is activated;
- wherein one of the plurality of electrically activated components is activated when a circuit is created between the one of the plurality of electrically activated components and the power source and the circuit is not a short circuit.
