Abstract
Some embodiments may relate to a magnetic glide game. Such a game may include one or more magnetically polarized game pieces. A game board may include a substantially planar playing surface adapted to receive the game piece in a slideable relation. Embodiments may also include at least one deflection means disposed in, or positionable within, a glide path of the game piece.
Claims20
A magnetic glide game, comprising:
- a magnetically polarized game piece having at least one substantially flat surface;
- a game board having a substantially planar playing surface adapted to receive the at least one flat side of the game piece in a slideable relation;
- and
- at least one deflection means disposed in, or positionable within, a glide path of the game piece.

A magnetic glide game, comprising:
- a magnetically polarized game piece having at least one substantially flat surface, wherein the game piece includes one or more of a cylindrical permanent magnet or an electromagnet;
- a game board having a substantially planar playing surface adapted to receive the at least one flat side of the game piece in a slideable relation;
- and
- at least one deflection means disposed in, or positionable within, a glide path of the game piece.

A magnetic glide game, comprising:
- a magnetically polarized game piece having at least one substantially flat surface, wherein the game piece includes one or more of a cylindrical permanent magnet or an electromagnet;
- a game board having a substantially planar playing surface adapted to receive the at least one flat side of the game piece in a slideable relation;
- and
- at least one deflection means positionable within, a glide path of the game piece, wherein the at least one deflection means comprises a paddle defining a stylized miniature baseball bat affixed to the game board through a pin about which the bat may pivot, the pin being disposed in the vicinity of a transition portion of the bat, the stylized miniature baseball bat further comprises an aperture adapted to receive a game piece and allow it to pass through when received at a particular angle or within a narrow range of angles, and wherein the aperture is disposed in a central barrel region of the stylized miniature baseball bat.
