Abstract
A balancing lever game with game pieces including beams, movable loads, and fulcrums that players may use to create balanced compound lever systems. The balancing lever game can be played singly, or with multiple players. The game pieces may be used to arrange and re-arrange the beams and a plurality of movable load game pieces of different mass and sizes to create a balanced system where no beam game pieces are touching the ground or leaning on each other. Starting with a main fulcrum game piece, a grooved beam game piece, and load game pieces, a player tries to balance the first beam game piece on a fulcrum with loads on either side of the first beam. To advance to the next level, the player places a beam game piece on top of a load game piece, and then seeks to balance the two beam game pieces.
Claims8
A balancing lever game comprising multiple game pieces from which levers may be built, said game pieces comprising at least one main fulcrum and at least one beam capable of balancing on the main fulcrum, and one or more movable loads, wherein the beam comprises one or more apertures, and each aperture is sized both for a load to rest on and for an aperture to pivotably fit on top of a load to act as a fulcrum for a beam.
A kit for building levers comprising at least two or more beams, at least one main fulcrum and a plurality of loads, wherein at least one of the two or more beams is capable of balancing on the main fulcrum, the two or more beams each comprise at least four apertures, and each aperture is sized both for a load to rest on and for an aperture to pivotably fit on top of a load to act as a fulcrum for a beam.
