Abstract: A mahjong tile includes a main body, a cover, a magnet, an induction chip, and a transparent board. The main body has a chip trough at an inner side thereof, connecting poles protruding from a top surface thereof, and a tile face trough at a bottom thereof. The cover corresponds to the main body and has connecting holes and an accommodation trough at a bottom thereof. The magnet is accommodated in the accommodation trough. Upper and lower ends of the magnet are magnet poles of the magnet. The induction chip is for a sensor to read the suite and numeric of the mahjong tile. The magnet of the mahjong tile supplies magnetism, enabling the mahjong tile to be delivered for playing a computer game with the amusement of the real mahjong tile. This can prevent the players from touching the tiles and increase the fairness of the game.

Abstract: A board game, also embodied in two or three dimension electronic display, is based on one of China's greatest works of literature, Journey to the West or Monkey. The preferred embodiment of the game of the instant invention allows from two to four players to compete through a combination of chance rolls of dice, chance draw of randomly-sequenced instruction cards, and exercise of strategy. The initial “movement roll” of two six-sided dice by each player begins advance of their game pieces along spaces around a closed path. When all of the game pieces have completed one round, a separate central character game piece may advance along a separate path that ends at a final goal. This requires repetitive circuits of the players' game pieces around the closed path.

Abstract: A board game that includes a traditional chessboard and two sets of playing pieces, where the playing pieces correspond to that of Western chess, but where each playing piece (possibly save the king) has a top portion and a removable corresponding bottom portion. Each player also is given a second group of top portions that can be interchanged with the original top portions. While game set up and playing piece movement is similar to Western chess, a piece is not “captured” when an opponent lands on the same board square but “converted.” The opponent removes the top portion and replaces the piece with a different tone top portion to provide visual indication that the playing piece has been converted to the other side. That converted piece stays on the board instead of being removed with few exceptions. The game ends when one player checkmates the other player's king.

Abstract: A push device for mahjong tiles includes an input platform, a lift mechanism, a changeover platform, and a push mechanism. The lift mechanism includes a lift platform composed of an upper platform and a lower platform. The changeover platform is disposed at one side of the lift platform. The push mechanism includes a U-shaped push frame movable between the input platform, the lift platform, and the changeover platform. Thereby, the U-shaped push frame pushes the mahjong tiles from the input platform to the lower platform. When the mahjong tiles on the lower platform reaches a predetermined amount, the U-shaped push frame pushes the mahjong tiles to the changeover platform. The lift platform descends and the U-shaped push frame pushes the mahjong tiles from the changeover platform to the upper platform. The lift platform ascends again and the input platform inputs the mahjong tiles for the next game.
