Abstract
Game apparatus is disclosed comprising a plurality of square tiles surfaced with unique single solid stripes extending from one edge or corner to another edge or corner on the face of the tile. The stripes are fashioned as horizontal, acute, or diagonal straight-line segments. Players arrange the individual game tiles in relation to the other tiles on a planar surface in an ordered or arbitrary assemblage in either a contiguous or noncontiguous manner to form creative and original designs or images.
Claims8
A game comprising a plurality of tiles, substantially square in plan aspect and relatively thin, each top face of two said tiles printed with one of five unique solid line segments of contrasting color to that of the face of said tile comprising a single horizontal (0-degree angle) stripe extending across the center;
- an ascending (27-degree angle) stripe extending from the bottom left corner to the center of the right side;
- a descending (63-degree angle) stripe extending from the center of the left side to the bottom right corner;
- a diagonal (45-degree angle) stripe extending from the center of the bottom side to the center of the right side;
- and a diagonal (45-degree angle) stripe extending from the bottom left corner to the top right corner whereby the said ten tiles can be arranged in any combinatorial manner with each other on a flat surface to create original designs or images.
