Abstract
The present invention is a game. The game board used is shaped like a triangle. The board has three sides with at least four primary interlocking base pieces and three secondary interlocking angle pieces connecting the sides, creating a triangular board. The game also uses a plurality of tetrahedra, where four tetrahedron pieces form a pyramid with square base. Each tetrahedron piece has a centralized hole on its face that is showing when a pyramid is formed. The game also includes symbols that can be fixedly attached and removed from the faces of the tetrahedron pieces. At the vertex of the triangular board is a primary base piece which holds one player's chosen combination to be guessed by the other player. The other player tries to guess the combination of symbols, colors, and directions that the player has chosen and hidden behind a shield.
Claims24
A game comprising:
- a) a triangular board containing at least four primary interlocking base pieces on each side of the triangular board and three secondary interlocking angle pieces connecting the sides together;
- b) a plurality of tetrahedron pieces that assemble into a pyramid, one face of each of said tetrahedron pieces showing containing a centralized opening;
- and
- c) symbols that can be fixedly attached and removed from said faces showing of each of said tetrahedron pieces.
The method of playing a game having playing pieces comprising a plurality of tetrahedra, each tetrahedron having faces in at least one color, selected from a plurality of colors for said faces, and a plurality of colored symbols for placement on a tetrahedron face, comprising the steps of:
- (a) a first player creating a playing piece by choosing four tetrahedra and at least one symbol in any order:
- i) assembling the tetrahedra into a pyramid, one face of each said tetrahedra showing in a chosen position;
- ii) applying a symbol to at least one of said tetrahedra face;
- b) hiding said playing piece;
- c) a second player attempting to duplicate the playing piece created in step (a) by the steps of:
- i) assembling the tetrahedra into a pyramid, one face of each said tetrahedra showing in a chosen position;
- ii) applying a symbol to at least one of said tetrahedra face;
- d) said first player placing different type clue flags adjacent to each tetrahedra face of said playing piece created by said second player, indicating if said adjacent face matches a corresponding face in said playing piece created in step (a);
- e) wherein said playing pieces are either physical or represent physical objects in a computer program.
A kit for playing a game comprising:
- a) a triangular board containing at least four primary interlocking base pieces on each side of the triangular board and three secondary interlocking angle pieces connecting said sides together;
- b) a plurality of tetrahedron pieces that assemble into a pyramid, one face of each of said tetrahedron pieces showing, containing a centralized opening;
- c) symbols that can be fixedly attached and removed from said faces showing of each of said tetrahedron pieces;
- and
- d) different types of clue flags.
