Abstract: A method of playing a game which includes a base element having a substantially horizontal, dimensionally defined upper surface and a plurality of uniformly thick playing pieces, wherein the base element is placed on a stable surface and then the playing pieces are sequentially played forming a game structure extending upwardly and outwardly from the base element until a designated uppermost piece is played terminating any further upward play, all subsequent pieces being played outwardly, including wedging pieces between previously played pieces, until the structure topples.

Abstract: A game wherein each player has a set of distinguishable playing pieces which are placed seriatim into a chosen one of three apparently identical receptacles. Each of the receptacles are marked to accompany one set of pieces and are periodically shuffled to challenge the players to place their piece in the correct receptacle.

Abstract: A three dimensional game including a base element (10) including a plurality of bores (20, 22, 24) each rotatably containing a cylindrical member (32, 23, 36). Each cylinder has a plurality of radial shallow bores (40) for receiving game pieces (26) which are selectively placed in one of the bores (40) by passing through one of the openings (26, 28, 30) in the top of the bore element (10).

Abstract: A multi-dimensional game wherein a player takes successive turns without being able to see the result of previous plays. The game comprises a substantially rectangular flat base portion having an upstanding central tower portion, transverse of the base portion and intermediate the length. A plurality of marker receiving vertical bores extend through the tower. A tray member including a plurality of sets of bores, each set being alignable with the bores of the tower allow capture of the markers one row at a time for scoring.

Abstract: A game including a cubical main element 2 having a plurality of spaced vertical bores 4 extending therethrough. A removable receiving tray 10 is positioned beneath the bores during play such that the playing pieces 9 which are placed in the bores 4 can fall within receiving cups 12 within the tray 10. A selectively movable slide piece 16 is resiliently mounted beneath the receiving tray 10 and the main element 2 such that it effectively prevents game pieces from passing into the tray until deliberately actuated, such that a single layer of game pieces 9 may be dropped into the tray 10 each time the slide 16 is moved. The players slice off individual sequential layers of playing pieces enabling the scoring to be on a two-dimensional basis.

Abstract: A game involving strategy, perception and decision making wherein the board comprises a base member having a plurality of horizontally slidable members having a plurality of uniformly spaced marker receiving positions. Each player has a definitive number of markers and each turn is initiated by a roll of a pair of dice or other random selection means. Upon the completion of a roll or turn, a player will place a marker upon any one of the slides in a receiving position corresponding to indicia shown upon his side of the board. A score is tabulated at the end of a turn by counting the number of markers belonging to the scoring player in a line either perpendicular to the direction of slide movement or diagonally across the board. One of the "slides" may be fixed to establish a stable base for building scores but will still be a part of the scoring procedure.
