Abstract: A golf board game has the graphic likeness of one or more golf holes, each comprising distinct tee, fairway, green, cup, rough and optionally, out-of-bounds, and sand and water hazard areas, depicted on a playing surface overlaid with an array of orthogonally and diagonally aligned position marks. Playing pieces are initially placed on most but not all of the position marks and play commences by the iterative jumping of one piece over an adjacently located second piece and onto an in-line, adjacent position mark and the removal of the jumped piece from the board. Play continues until no more such jumps can be made. Each remaining playing piece is assessed strokes based on the area of the golf hole on which the pieces remain and the stroke values associated with such areas. A player's score for a hole is the total number of such strokes.

Abstract: A single player game combining chance and strategy comprised of a field of play comprised of 100 positions in 10 rows and 10 columns, a set of 75 markers comprised of 6 subsets, the markers in each subset being coded to indicate permissible placements on the positions in the field, the subset sets being comprised of a first subset of 30 markers, a second subset of 30 markers, a third subset of 5 markers, a fourth subset of 5 markers, a fifth subset of 4 markers and a sixth subset of 1 marker along with means for random selection, marker by marker, as each individually selected marker is placed in one of its permissible positions on the field, the game being concluded when all of the markers have been placed in the field or when there is no permissible placement in the field of the last marker selected.

Abstract: The invention provides a board-type apparatus and method for playing a game. The game of the invention can be played by two, three or four persons. The apparatus of the invention comprises a plurality of defined positions on a game playing board, said positions arranged in a regular pattern whereby playing pieces can be moved from one position to another position by jumping one playing piece over a playing piece adjacently positioned relative to said jumping playing piece, said plurality of defined positions including a single primary position, and the number of said defined positions being greater than the number of said playing pieces.

Abstract: A puzzle involving ten sticks (1-10). A player must carry one stick, e.g. stick 4, over two adjacent sticks, e.g. sticks 3 and 2, and place it across a third stick, e.g., stick 1, to form a "X". The player must repeat this process with other sticks until five sticks are crossed with five moved sticks, thus solving the puzzle.

Abstract: A puzzle game includes a game board with a square playing surface, and a plurality of blocks defined by cubes, at least one of the blocks being a single cube and the remaining blocks including two or more cubes defining L-shaped, T-shaped, cruciform and straight blocks. The blocks can be arranged on the board to cover the entire playing surface, or stacked to form a cube, T-shaped walls or sets of stairs. Recesses can be provided in one surface of the blocks for receiving pegs, which increases the number of games which can be played with the puzzle game.

Abstract: This invention relates to a three-dimensional game and to a multilevel game board structure for use therewith. The game board includes a plurality of plate-like members that are disposed in generally parallel, vertically spaced relation, the plate members decreasing in size in ascending order and having a plurality of playing positions arranged thereon on which game pieces are located. Play of the game may be either solitaire or in opponent fashion and is accomplished by jumping a game piece over an adjacent game piece to an unoccupied playing position. Movement of the game pieces occurs in a horizontal direction on each plate member or in a three-dimensional direction following planes that pass through various playing positions in vertically adjacent plates.
