Abstract
A construction kit with basic building elements (1) and connecting pieces (M) and a game with variable level of intellectual challenge in which a first player assembles the basic building elements into different composite building elements by using the connecting pieces, introduces connecting pieces into receiving means (a2) on the outer faces of the composite building elements, and assembles a final structure. A second player is presented with the challenge of disassembling the final structure and reassembling it from the same composite building elements with the same connection means in the same positions that were used by the first player.
Claims31
A construction kit comprising a plurality of basic building elements and a plurality of connecting pieces, the said connecting pieces being adapted for connecting the said basic building elements and for being received in receiving means on the faces of the said basic building elements such that they enable assembly of the basic building elements into composite building elements in accordance with a large variety of different shapes and with a large variety of different patterns of connecting pieces on the outer faces of the said composite building elements, wherein each of the said connecting pieces may be hindering or facilitating the assembly of a pre defined structure from the said composite building elements depending on the respective positions of the said connecting pieces and the said receiving elements.

A spatial game comprising:
- a. selecting a plurality of basic building elements being displayed as a cube or any other object having a plurality of outer faces, with a depression disposed on at least a portion of said faces and with a hole centrally disposed within at least a portion of the said depressions respectively;
- b. selecting a plurality of connecting pieces, each of the said connecting pieces having a stem adapted to be tightly received in one of the said receiving means in a first basic building element and each of the said connecting pieces further having a head adapted to be tightly received in one of the said depressions in a second basic building element such that the said basic building elements may be interconnected by the said connecting pieces to create a composite building element;
- c. selecting a number of connecting pieces adapted to be attached at selected positions on the outer faces of the said composite building elements;
- and
- d. constructing at least one predefined structure in the manner that the said stems are tightly received in the said receiving means on the faces of the said composite building elements and the said heads are abutting from the said outer faces of the said composite building elements in a manner that may hinder or facilitate the assembly of the said composite building elements into a predefined structure whereby the said composite building elements must be arranged in a specific manner so as to enable the computerized enabled assembly of the said predefined structure.
An intellectual challenge game in which a first player:
- a) assembles basic building elements into composite building elements by using connecting pieces to interconnect two or more basic building elements, b) introduces connecting pieces into a number of receiving means on one or more of the outer faces of the composite building elements, thereby enabling a large variety of different composite building elements wherein the shapes of the said composite building elements and the positions of the said connecting pieces on the outer faces of the said composite building elements are designed by the first player such that they are mutually compatible in a manner that enables the player to assemble a pre defined structure using the said composite building elements, c) assembles the said pre defined structure from the said composite building elements, d) optionally creates a pattern on the outer face of the said pre defined structure by introducing connecting pieces into the receiving means on the outer surface of the said pre defined structure, e) presents a second player with the challenge of disassembling the said pre defined structure into its separate composite building elements and, without changing the positions of the connecting pieces on the said composite building elements, to reassemble the same structure with the same pattern from the same composite building elements that were used by the first player.
A method of playing an intellectual challenge game comprising:
- a. assembling a plurality of basic building elements into a plurality of composite building elements by using a plurality of connecting pieces each of said pieces being adapted to interconnect two or more basic building elements;
- b. introducing a plurality of connecting pieces into a plurality of receiving means on one or more of the outer faces of the composite building elements, thereby enabling a variety of different composite building elements;
- wherein the shapes of said composite building elements and the positions of said connecting pieces on the outer faces of said composite building elements are designed by a first player such that they are mutually compatible in a manner that enables the player to assemble a pre-defined structure using the said composite building elements;
- c. assembling said pre-defined structure from said composite building elements;
- d. optionally creating a pattern on the outer face of the said pre-defined structure by introducing a plurality of connecting pieces into the receiving means on the outer surface of said pre-defined structure;
- and,
- presenting at least a second player with the challenge of disassembling said pre-defined structure into its separate composite building elements and, without changing the positions of the connecting pieces on the said composite building elements, to reassemble the same structure with the same pattern on the outer surface of said structure from the same composite building elements that were used by the first player.
A computerized spatial game comprising:
- a. selecting a plurality of basic building elements being displayed as a cube or any other object having a plurality of outer faces, with a depression disposed on at least a portion of said faces and with a hole centrally disposed within at least a portion of the said depressions respectively;
- b. selecting a plurality of connecting pieces, each of the said connecting pieces having a stem adapted to be tightly received in one of the said receiving means in a first basic building element and each of the said connecting pieces further having a head adapted to be tightly received in one of the said depressions in a second basic building element such that the said basic building elements may be interconnected by the said connecting pieces to create a composite building element;
- c. selecting a number of connecting pieces adapted to be attached at selected positions on the outer faces of the said composite building elements;
- and
- d. constructing at least one predefined structure in the manner that the said stems are tightly received in the said receiving means on the faces of the said composite building elements and the said heads are abutting from the said outer faces of the said composite building elements in a manner that may hinder or facilitate the assembly of the said composite building elements into a predefined structure whereby the said composite building elements must be arranged in a specific manner so as to enable the computerized enabled assembly of the said predefined structure.
