Abstract
A board game whose game pieces contain a gas or mixture of gases. The gas inside the game pieces is electrically excited to illuminate the game piece. This illumination is achieved by inductive coupling the game piece to a high-voltage radio-frequency source located in or in the vicinity of the game board.
