Abstract
A multi-phase analytical game activity, is prefaced with a construction phase, in which are constructed from component elements, a plurality of [co-operatively-disposed] playing pieces (11), such as hollow, co-operatively inter-nesting cubes; with coded marking of individual facets (15), according to designated topics and subsidiary categories; whereby cube and facet juxtaposition reflect topic inter-relationships and hierarchies; in a follow-on board game phase, progress around a designated playing area is determined by random chance selector means, and coding of placement areas triggers selection of topic query cards for topic exploration.
Claims4
An analytical construction game comprising:
- a plurality of multi-faceted elements configured as 3-D structures and dimensioned in different sizes so as to permit at least two of said faceted elements to nest together in a closely juxtaposed relationship, said multi-faceted elements being assembled from discrete facet pieces, having facet surfaces and edges configured for such assembly, said multi-faceted elements being configured in a plurality of sets for designated topic analysis,
- at least one of said elements having a facet carrying topic category indicia and another of said elements having a facet carrying related category indicia in a manner that when said facets are juxtaposed the designated topic is elucidated,
- said multi-faceted elements being sized in a scale of relative interest in the designated topic,
- ones of said facets being translucent permitting in the juxtaposed nested condition of at least two of the multi-faceted elements visual inspection of the underlying facet to reveal indicia relationships in the topic analysis.
