Abstract
A game device is disclosed herein. The game device is a portable simulated soccer game that provides a substantially rectangular rigid planar surface having indicia of a soccer field disposed thereon. Simulated players are arranged on the field by mating with one of an array of apertures. The game device includes a pair of nets to be placed in a location corresponding with the simulated soccer field. A simulated soccer ball is used by a user to score on an opponent's net. A sleeve is provided having optional attachment features that are used to propel the ball. A user decides the arrangement of simulated players on the field with respect to the ball. The game device provides a game where orientation of simulated players impedes the ability to score points.
Claims20
A game device comprising:
- a substantially rectangular rigid planar surface which has a plurality of apertures disposed thereon;
- a plurality of elongate pieces, each of which has at least one end sized to mate with any of said plurality of apertures allowing said elongate piece to maintain a perpendicular orientation to said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface;
- a simulated soccer field which is sized and dimensioned to be disposed on said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface;
- a pair of nets which is configured to attach to said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface;
- and
- a ball.
A soccer game device and method, the game comprising:
- a substantially rectangular rigid planar surface, said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface having a plurality of apertures disposed thereon,
- a plurality of elongate pieces, said plurality of elongate pieces having at least one end sized to mate with any of said plurality of apertures allowing said elongate piece to maintain a perpendicular orientation to said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface,
- a simulated soccer field, said simulated soccer field is sized and dimensioned to be disposed on said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface,
- a pair of nets, said pair of nets are configured to attach to said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface,

- a sleeve, said sleeve is configured to be worn by a user and used to propel the simulated soccer ball;
- further comprising an elastic border that is configured to be disposed along a periphery of the substantially rectangular rigid planar surface;
- further comprising supports configured to elevate said game;
- further comprising at least one catch basin disposed on the substantially rectangular rigid planar surface;
- further comprising ornamental dressings configured to attach to said plurality of elongate pieces;
- further comprising a launching mechanism configured to exert a force on said simulated soccer ball;
- further comprising a scoring apparatus;
- wherein said sleeve is configured to attach to a finger of the user;
- wherein said sleeve is configured to attach to an arm of the user;
- wherein said sleeve comprises a material having an elastic property;
- wherein said sleeve includes indicia used for aiming;
- wherein said sleeve includes an attachment configured to be in physical communication with said simulated soccer ball;
- wherein said plurality of apertures include corresponding plugs;
- wherein said simulated soccer field is removably replaceable from said substantially rectangular rigid planar surface;
- wherein simulated soccer field includes field apertures;
- and
- wherein said pair of nets comprise a rigid material.
A method of playing a game, comprising:
- providing a game;
- attaching a plurality of elongate pieces to a substantially rectangular rigid planar surface;
- moving a simulated soccer ball towards one of a pair of nets.
