Abstract
Apparatus and method of playing a building game against an opponent. The apparatus may include a podium for building a structure with stackable materials such as building blocks. The apparatus may also include an actuator that allows a first player to “blow up” a second players structure if the first player builds his or hers first. The Build or Boom™ game may simply utilize air chambers and a tube but is also capable of utilizing electrical and mechanical means to perform the same functions.
Claims25
A game comprising:
- a platform connected to a tube, the platform comprising:
- a first member;
- and
- a second member in connection with the first member, wherein the first member and second member are movable with respect to each other;
- a first configuration wherein the platform is in a first position;
- and
- a second configuration wherein the platform is in a second position;
- an actuator connected to the tube and spaced apart from the platform;
- an air-chamber within the actuator that when actuated forces air from the actuator to the platform, wherein the air causes the first member and second member to move with respect to each other.
6 more elements
A system comprising:
- a podium connected to a conduit, the podium comprising:
- a first member;
- and
- a second member in connection with the first member, wherein the first member is movable with respect to the second member;
- a first configuration wherein the podium is in a first position;
- and
- a second configuration wherein the podium is in a second position;
- an actuator connected to the conduit and spaced apart from the platform;
- a button connected to the actuator capable of sending an electrical signal through the conduit, wherein the electrical signal causes the first member to move with respect to the second member.
6 more elements
A method of playing a game comprising:
- positioning a first system in front of a first user, the system comprising:
- a podium connected to a conduit, the podium comprising:
- a first member;
- and
- a second member in connection with the first member, wherein the first member is movable with respect to the second member;
- a first configuration wherein the podium is in a first position;
- and
- a second configuration wherein the podium is in a second position;
- an actuator connected to the conduit and spaced apart from the platform;
- a button connected to the actuator capable of sending an electrical signal through the conduit, wherein the electrical signal causes the first member to move with respect to the second member;
- positioning a second system in front of a second user, wherein the first user maintains the second user's actuator and the second user maintains the first user's actuator;
- and
- placing a card with a predetermined structure outlined on the card between the two players.
