Abstract
Random value generation in a game is provided. A board game may include a random value generator capable of movement on a surface of a board. Such movement may be initiated at one location on the board and arrive at another location on the board before stopping. The random value generator may include a plurality of faces, each indicating a value in the game. When still or at rest, a face is exposed. The value displayed on the face is a first value in the game. In addition, the movement of the random value generator may also contact one or more game pieces standing on the board. The number of game pieces that are contacted by the moving random value generator may represent a second value in the game.
Claims18
A device for random value generation in a game, the device comprising:
- a body capable of moving on a surface of a board, wherein following initiation of movement at a first location on a surface, the body moves for a period of time and arrives at a second location on the surface before stopping;
- a plurality of faces, each face indicating a value in the game, wherein a still body exposes one of the faces and wherein a first value in the game is based on the value indicated by the exposed face;
- and
- wherein the surface includes one or more game pieces, wherein the moving body comes into contact with at least one game piece, and wherein a second value in the game is based on a number of game pieces contacted by the moving body.
A board game kit, the kit comprising:
- a board having a surface;
- one or more game pieces configured to be placed on the surface of the board;
- a random value generator comprising:
- a body capable of moving on a surface of the board, wherein following initiation of movement at a first location on the surface, the body moves for a period of time and arrives at a second location on the surface before stopping,
- a plurality of faces, each face indicating a value in the game, wherein a still body exposes one of the faces and wherein a first value in the game is based on the value indicated by the exposed face, and
- wherein the moving body comes into contact with at least one game piece, and wherein a second value in the game is based on a number of game pieces contacted by the moving body;
- and
- a guide designating a plurality of consequences in the game, wherein at least one consequence is associated with the first value, the second value, or a combination of the first value and the second value.
