Abstract
A game board assembly is disclosed herein. The game board assembly includes a foldable game board and a plurality of mounts. The foldable game board has a main portion and a plurality of peripheral edge portions that surround the main portion. The game board has a planar configuration where the main portion and the plurality of peripheral edge portions are positioned to be substantially co-planar with one another. The peripheral edge portions are selectively foldable to be non-planar with respect to the main portion. The mounts are each configured to engage the game board in the planar configuration. The mounts are configured to releaseably mount to a surface.
Claims20
A game board assembly, comprising:
- a foldable game board having a main portion and a plurality of peripheral edge portions that surround the main portion, the game board having a planar configuration wherein the main portion and the plurality of peripheral edge portions are positioned to be substantially co-planar with one another, wherein the plurality of peripheral edge portions are selectively foldable to be non-planar with respect to the main portion;
- and
- a plurality of mounts that are each configured to engage the game board in the planar configuration, the plurality of mounts configured to releasably mount to a surface.
A game board assembly, comprising:
- a foldable game board having a main portion and a plurality of peripheral edge portions that surround the main portion, the game board having a planar configuration wherein the main portion and the plurality of peripheral edge portions are positioned to be substantially co-planar with one another, and wherein the plurality of peripheral edge portions are selectively foldable along an edge portion of the game board to be non-planar with respect to the main portion;
- and
- a plurality of mounts that are each configured to engage two of the plurality of edge portions based on the game board being in the planar configuration, the plurality of mounts configured to releaseably mount to a surface, wherein the plurality of mounts and the game board cooperate together if the game board is in the planar configuration to create an outer periphery.
A method of mounting a game board assembly to a surface, the game board assembly including a foldable game boarding having a planar configuration, the method comprising:
- unfolding the game board from a folded configuration, wherein a plurality of peripheral edge portions are folded to be non-planar with respect to a main portion of the game board if the game board is in the folded;
- securing a plurality of mounts to a portion of a plurality of peripheral edge portions of the game board;
- removeably mounting the game board to the surface by the plurality of mounts, wherein the game board assembly is in the planar configuration if mounted to the surface, and wherein the main portion and the plurality of peripheral edge portions are positioned to be substantially planar with one another in the first, planar configuration.
