Abstract
Building blocks that facilitate configuration and assembly of playing pieces, in shapes of stair-like or clusterable edge-connected partially or fully cube-shaped pieces, are provided. According to a particular configuration of blocks, a main sub-block in the shape of half-cubes is provided, with multi edge-connectivity formation means/possibilities. The edge connectivity possibilities of the provided half-cubes are mainly implemented for the purpose of assembling and configuring clusterable stair-like playing pieces including multi-edge- and/or face-connectable cubes.
Claims20
A game piece for use in a board game, wherein the game piece comprises at least two partially or fully cube-shaped pieces connectable at a connection point of corner edges of the at least two partially or fully cube-shaped pieces, such that a first corner edge of a first partially or fully cube-shaped piece is connectable to a second corner edge of a second partially or fully cube-shaped piece.
A method of playing a game, the method comprising:
- a first basic rule,
- a second basic rule, and
- a game goal requiring that the winning player may be the player that places a game piece on a game board in the last available configuration that complies with the first basic rule and the second basic rule, such that no other game piece can be placed on the game board in a configuration that complies with the first basic rule and the second basic rule,
- the first basic rule requiring that a first game piece may not be placed adjacent to a second similarly shaped game piece in the same position as the second game piece such that each portion of the first game piece is substantially on top of each corresponding portion of the second similarly shaped game piece,
- the second basic rule requiring that no empty space may exist between the game board and the game piece.
