Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of playing a game of chance and entertainment, which incorporates an element of risk by rewarding a player for corresponding master and score value designations. One embodiment of the method of the present invention is played by at least one player. This embodiment is played with one master die and a plurality of scoring dice. The master die has a plurality of master sides, each master side bearing a master value designation thereon. Each scoring die has a plurality of scoring sides, with each scoring side of each scoring die bearing a score value designation corresponding to one of the master value designations. In a turn, the player shakes the master die and the plurality of scoring dice to obtain an upwardly facing master side and a plurality of upwardly facing scoring sides.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes a plurality of dice and a master cube which is larger than the dice. A container for the game has a cover and a base, with the cover and the base having tubular peripheral engagement portions to telescopically mate with and frictionally engage each other. The tubular peripheral engagement portions interact in a non-planar configuration, thereby facilitating grasping of the cover portion relative to the base portion. The base includes recesses to receive the playing pieces during play, and the cover holds the playing pieces in place in the recesses during storage and transportation. The cover includes a window for viewing the playing pieces through the cover. The cover and the base slope the playing pieces and a scoring chart relative to a flat underlying surface. The cover is constructed so it can be flipped over and used as a casting chute.

Abstract: A shoe sole cleaner removes foreign debris from a sole of a user's shoe by swiping the sole over the shoe sole cleaner on the user's opposing shoe. The shoe sole cleaner includes a base member and an elongated closure strap extending from the base member. A fixed end of the elongated closure strap extends from the base member and a free end of the elongated closure strap is adapted for extending under at least a portion of a shoelace on the shoe. In one embodiment, facing surfaces of the closure strap and base member have complementary portions of a two-part mechanical fastener (e.g., hook-and-loop) which are engaged to secure the shoe sole cleaner to a shoe by its shoe laces. An exposed surface of the base member bears a shoe sole cleaning surface.

Abstract: A remote control device having buttons with a primary function of activating generation of a control signal by the remote and secondary function of activating generation of an audio sample. The audio sample is unrelated to the primary, functional signal generated by pressing that button. The remote control device may include several different sets of audio samples, each set being associated with a particular television program, a particular theme or genre, and/or a particular component. The selection of the particular sample played by pressing a button may be done by switching, at random, or by a combination of both. The remote control may (a) generate control signals in silence, or (b) generate control signals in conjunction with audio features, or (c) generate audio features without generation of control signals.
