Abstract
A dominos-style mathematical operation game is provided with a plurality of dominos style type game pieces. Each game piece is defined by a polyhedron with a top and bottom face. Each face is divided into a left and right section with a mathematical operation therebetween.
Claims13
A mathematical dominos type game comprising:
- a plurality of dominos game pieces with each dominos having a rectangular polyhedron shape;
- each dominos being segmented into an upper portion and a lower portion of equivalent dimensions, size and shape;
- the upper portion overlaying and being attached to the lower portion;
- a mechanical means for selecting a mathematical operation internally disposed between the upper portion and the lower portion wherein a user can vary the mathematical operation to obtain the maximum points in a corresponding play by the user;
- the upper portion and the lower portion being surrounded by a plurality of side walls;
- the upper portion and lower portion having a face divided into a left section and a right section with a window therebeteween, the window for viewing a mathematical operation selected by a user with the mechanical means for selecting the mathematical operation;
- and
- the left section and the right section having an indicia means incorporated thereupon wherein the user selects a corresponding mathematical operation for operation upon the indicia means.

A method of playing a mathematical dominos game comprising:
- providing a plurality of rectangular polyhedron shape dominos cards with a top face and a bottom face, each face being divided into a left side and a right side with a mathematical operation within a window situated therebetween, a means for selecting a mathematical operation for viewing within the window,
- prior to beginning the mathematical dominos game, selecting a numerical factor;
- providing each player with a corresponding hand of a predetermined subset of the dominos cards with a remaining portion of the dominos cards comprising a deck;
- playing an active card with a particular numerical base by a current player;
- selecting a card from their corresponding hand that matches the numerical base of the active card;
- if the current player have no matching active card, then allowing the current player to pull a card from the deck until a card is pulled that matches the numerical base of the active card;
- simultaneously, selecting a mathematical operation with the means for selecting a mathematical operation that provides the current player with the most points;
- determining the current player total points by summing clock wise each leg of the active cards;
- determining the current player total points by diving the total points numerical value.
