Abstract
A game for children has buildable structures, movement measurement devices for measuring game piece movement and projectile range values, structural unit guides to aid in construction of the buildable structures, and movable game pieces.
Claims20
A game comprising:
- at least one structural unit guide;
- a plurality of structural units positioned adjacent said at least one structural unit guide, said structural units forming a structure;
- a plurality of movable game pieces positioned in proximity to said structure;
- and
- a movement measurement device constructed to measure range values of said game pieces, wherein said movement measurement device has a body having a continuous surface.
A method of playing a game comprising the steps of:
- a) building a multi-layer structure using stacked layers of structural units and a plurality of structural unit guides with at least one structural unit guide forming a guide for positioning the structural units in each layer of the multi-layer structure;
- b) assembling game pieces in proximity to said structure;
- c) determining range values for each game piece using a movement measurement device;
- d) moving each game piece within a permissible movement range value;
- e) engaging in mathematical combat with game pieces controlled by an opposing side;
- and
- f) removing captured game pieces from play.
A game comprising:
- a plurality of distinct moveable game pieces, each said movable game piece having defined range values that define movement parameters for said moveable game piece;
- and
- a movement measurement device for said game having said distinct moveable, game pieces, said movement measurement device constructed to measure range values of said moveable game pieces, wherein said movement measurement device is a body having a continuous surface, said continuous surface, having body indicia positioned thereon and constructed to roll along a playing surface to measure said range values of said moveable game pieces.
A game comprising:
- a plurality of distinct game pieces, each said game piece having defined range values that define movement parameters for said game piece;
- and
- a movement measurement device for said game having said distinct game pieces, said movement measurement device constructed to measure range values of said game pieces, wherein said movement measurement device is a base having at least one retractable measurement line positioned adjacent an origin, further including at least one semi-circular member positioned adjacent said base,
- wherein each said semi-circular member has indicia positioned thereon, and each said retractable measurement line is extendable and retractable with respect to said base, wherein said measurement line when extended from, said base measures said range values of said game pieces in three dimensions.
A structural guide system for building a specific toy, multi-layer simulated structure formed of stacked layers of toy structural units that can form a variety of simulated structures, said system including a plurality of structural unit guides, wherein each structural unit guide is associated with layer of the specific multi-layer structure with each said guide including guide indicia identifying the location of a plurality of structural units which form said layer and wherein said plurality of structural units forming said layer are placed adjacent said structural unit guide associated with said layer, and wherein structural unit guides are incorporated into the simulated structure.
