Abstract
Disclosed herein are two aspects of the present invention, firstly, a game piece and secondly, a game that may be played using such a game piece. Game pieces of the present invention are configured from material that is stable in two states that have different shapes so as to snap when transforming form one state to the other, and therefore may be referred to as “snaps”. A graphic image may be depicted on the game piece, such that game pieces may be collected and traded to acquire a variety of different graphic images. An object of the game is to throw a game piece onto a stack of a plurality of such game pieces in a attempt of cause a change in the stable state of as many game pieces as possible.
Claims21
A game piece comprising a substantially rectangular shaped piece of material having a length and a width, said material configured so as to be stable in a first state in which a cross-section taken along said length is straight, said material also being stable in a second state in which a cross-section taken along said length is arched, said material being elastically deformable such that said material may be elastically deformed so as to transform between said first and said second states.
A method of playing a game comprising;
- (a) providing at least one game piece configured as a substantially rectangular shaped piece of material having a length and a width, said material configured so as to be stable in a first state in which a cross-section taken along said length is straight, said material also being stable in a second state in which a cross-section taken along said length is arched, said material being elastically deformable such that said material may be elastically deformed so as to transform between said first and said second states;
- and
- (b) throwing said game piece while said game piece is in said first state, so as to impact a surface thereby causing said transformation from said first state to said second state.
