Jousting toy

A jousting element for use in a game, said jousting element comprising:

• a. a body section arranged about a centrally aligned vertical axis, said body section configured to rotate about said centrally aligned vertical axis and to be carried above a playing surface;
• b. said body section further comprising:
• a cylindrical body comprising a cylindrical outer wall, a radially disposed cylindrical inner wall, a circular top surface, a ringed bottom surface;
• c. a traveling component to carry said body section, said traveling component connected to said ringed bottom surface, said traveling component further comprising:
• i a first group of bearings, said first group of bearings comprising a first bearing, a second bearing, and a third bearing;
• ii. said first group of bearings interoperating with said playing surface at a first group of playing surface support locations;
• iii. said first group of playing surface support locations comprising:
• a first bearing support location correlated to said first bearing, a second bearing support location correlated to said second bearing, and a third bearing support location correlated to said third bearing;
• iv. said first group of bearings arranged to maintain said body section above said playing surface during said rotation of said body section about said centrally aligned vertical axis, and to provide for said multidirectional travel above said playing surface;
• v. a stable footing on said playing surface to maintain said body section in an upright position without the use of centrifugal force;
• d. a first playing component interoperable to kinetically engage with said body section, a second playing component interoperable with said body section;
• said first and second playing components configured to engage a second jousting element;
• e. said first playing component further comprising a first weapon component, a first target element;
• f. said second playing component further comprising a second weapon component, a second target element.

A jousting element for use in a game, said jousting element comprising:

• a. a body section arranged about a centrally aligned vertical axis;
• b. means for rotating said body section about said centrally aligned vertical axis;
• c. means for carrying said body section above a playing surface;
• d. means for providing a stable footing on said playing surface to maintain said body section in an upright position without the use of centrifugal force;
• e. means for providing multidirectional travel of said body section above said playing surface;
• f. means for kinetically engaging said first playing component with a second jousting element to form a scoring connection.

A jousting assembly, said jousting assembly comprising:

• a. a first group of jousting elements and a second group of jousting elements, each of said groups of jousting elements comprising a plurality of jousting elements, each jousting element comprising:
• i. a body section arranged about a centrally aligned vertical axis, said body section configured to rotate about said centrally aligned vertical axis and to be carried above a playing surface;
• ii. a traveling component to carry said body section, said traveling component connected to said body section and providing for multidirectional travel of said body section above said playing surface;
• said traveling component comprising a stable footing on said playing surface to maintain said body section in an upright position without the use of centrifugal force;
• iii. a first playing component interoperable with said body section, said playing component configured to kinetically engage and form a scoring connection with a second playing component on a second jousting element;
• b. said first group of jousting elements arranged in opposition to said second group of jousting elements, said first group of jousting elements affiliated with a first player, said second group of jousting elements affiliated with a second player, said first player and said second player each, aligning said jousting element with said opposing jousting element, rotating said body section about said centrally aligned vertical axis, launching said jousting element above said playing surface along an interception trajectory with said the opposing jousting element.
