Abstract
A word game playing piece having at least one gravity-stable playing position, at least one gravity-unstable playing position, and a holder that supports the playing piece in its gravity-unstable position. The playing piece is provided with word game indicia, concealed when the playing piece is in its gravity-stable playing position, and revealed when the playing piece is supported in its gravity-unstable playing position by the holder. The player piece is automatically self-righting from gravity-unstable to gravity-stable position to minimize the exposure of its indicia to view.
Claims8
A game playing piece for use either singly or in multiple, said game playing piece comprising:
- a. a three-dimensional body element,
- b. said body element having at least one gravity-stable playing position, and
- c. at least one gravity-unstable playing position,
- d. said body element having a longitudinal axis which extends substantially vertically when the body element is in its gravity-stable playing position,
- e. said body element being invertible to its gravity-unstable position, its longitudinal axis continuing to extend substantially vertically,
- f. said body element having a rounded configuration except for at least one substantially segmental plane surface,
- g. said body element being adapted to assume its gravity-stable playing position when its segmental plane surface rests on a horizontal playing surface,
- h. a holder being provided for said body element,
- i. said holder being adapted to support and stabilize said body element in its second, gravity unstable, playing position.
