  • Patent number: 5224711
    Abstract: A simulated motion board game in which a player is able to effectively simulate a continuum of sequential motion of one or more subjects contained within scenes of motion individually pictorially depicted on the faces of respective game elements. The representation of a sequence of continuous motion of the subject is independent of the order in which the tiles are placed next to one another. An edge portion of a scene immediately adjacent to the left/right hand edge of one motion tile will always provide a complementary extension of the motion within that portion of the scene immediately adjacent to the right/left hand edge of any other motion tile. As a consequence, even though the particular sequence of continuous motion will depend upon the events depicted in individual ones of the tiles, plural motion tiles placed in side-by-side adjacency with one another will always produce a continuum of motion of the subject traversing the depicted scene.
