Abstract: Provided is a game system with gears and indicia, for modular game information record-keeping and record-changing devices, systems, and associated methods based on sets of mechanical gears having game indicia provided thereon. The architecture of the system uses combinations of mechanical gears, cams, shafts, clutches of various types, and other mechanical components that constitute an analog “computer” performing basic mathematical functions, managing data, or performing analogs for life principles - such as the impact of events, physics-based or fantasized realities, interpersonal relationships, behavioral characteristics, conflict dynamics, etc.

Abstract: A tile game system is provided that includes a plurality of two-dimensional and three-dimensional components. The two-dimensional components can include a plurality of modular tiles provided in various sizes and configurations that can be joined together to form a grid-based gameplay area. The three-dimensional components can include external boundaries for the gameplay area, internal boundaries, terrain elements such as columns and staircases, and game figures. According to aspects of the present disclosure, the external and internal boundaries can be provided with recessed sections that allow a game figure to be contained within a single grid square and prevent the grid of the gameplay area from becoming warped. According to some aspects of the present disclosure the internal and external boundaries can be illuminated and provided with removable and interchangeable light-permeable skins that allow a user to switch between various illuminated designs.

Abstract: A random outcome generator for games is provided herein. The random outcome generator for games comprises a base having a bottom wall defining a finger therein including a stopper extending from a top surface thereof, the finger being pivotally movable and horizontally biased, a top engaged with the base, and a dial secured between the top and the base and freely rotatable therebetween, the dial including one or more recesses in a bottom surface thereof, the finger of the base engaging a recess of the dial when horizontal and disengaging the recess of the dial by pivoting when the dial rotates.

Abstract: A punching apparatus for a sheet media comprises a base and a handle actuator. The base comprises a first impression head that defines a first image-forming pattern and a second impression head that defines a second image-forming pattern. The base further comprises a first impression head protrusion having a first height and a second impression head protrusion having a second height. The handle actuator hingedly couples to the base. The handle actuator moves between a first position, a second position, and a third position. A limiting member contacts the first impression head protrusion when the handle actuator is moved to the second position, and the first impression head moves to a sheet media forming position. The limiting member contacts the second impression head protrusion when the handle moves to the third handle position, and the first and the second impression heads move to the sheet media forming position.

Abstract: A compression punching system comprises a base, a punch body, a punch tool, and an actuator. The base comprises a base die and a first polarized magnetic surface. The punch body is configured to engage the base. The punch body defines a punch cavity and comprises a second magnetically polarized magnetic surface. The second magnetically polarized surface is configured to magnetically engage the first polarized magnetic surface and position the punch body in corresponding alignment with the base. The punch tool is disposed in the punch cavity. The actuator slidably couples to the punch body. The actuator is movable relative to the punch body between a first resting position and a punching position, and the movement of the actuator causes movement of the punch body.
