Abstract
Game piece in the form of a polyomino or polycube or similar, consisting of a number of blocks (5) that are put together in an orthogonal pattern, characterized in that the game piece (4) comprises at least two parts (6) that are each formed by a number of aforementioned blocks (5) connected together in a fixed way, whereby these parts (6) are slidably coupled with respect to one another in such a way that they enable a number of forms of game pieces (4) to be formed with the game piece (4) concerned.
Claims16
A polyomino game piece comprising:
- at least two slidable polyomino parts,
- at least one of said slidable parts is a polyomino comprising at least two blocks that are permanently attached together in an orthogonal pattern to form the slidable part,
- at least a second of said slidable parts is a polyomino comprising at least two blocks that are permanently attached together in an orthogonal pattern or is a single block;
- wherein the at least two slidable parts are slidably coupled together to form a game piece in a configuration which may be altered by sliding one slidable part relative to the other to form a different polyomino configuration.
