Alphanumeric Game System And Pieces

Abstract

A system of educational word games and number games that combines, for the first time: (i) mental/alphanumeric skills, with (ii) physical/eye-hand coordination skills that are used in target-and-missile games, with (iii) substantially flattened game tiles that are shaped as squares or as the letters and numbers themselves. The tiles can be used as missiles and/or as targets in various, easy-to-grasp games, and these games can be enjoyed by players of a wide range of ages and physical ability. Also provided are simple means to removably attach various accessories to the tiles to expand their use in games and non-game applications. When compared with previous alphanumeric games that combine mental and physical activities, the present invention has advantages in cost, simplicity, compactness, convenience, packaging, ease of play, the strength and likelihood of verbal/mathematical learning, and in versatility.
