Abstract: A playing board (10) is provided which includes a pattern of areas (16), each area (16) including a pattern of position marks (18). A deck of cards (34) is shuffled and dealt face down, one card on each of the areas (16). The cards (34) are turned over in the play of the game. A first type of card (34) identifies a planet. When such a card (34) is revealed it is removed from the board (10) and replaced with a planet identifying marker (52). A second type of card (34) identifies an asteroid or some other obstacle. When such a card (34) is encountered it is removed from the board (10) and an obstacle identifying marker (50) is set in its place. The remaining cards (34) merely indicate space and they are removed from the board (10) to expose the areas (16) and position marks (18) below them. The game (10) is then played with the playing surface of the board (10) comprising the planets, the obstacles and surrounding space.

Abstract: A game of skill and chance which simulates the excitement and frustrations of drilling for oil. Playing pieces, representing oil drilling rigs are inserted through apertures in a top deck and, if unhindered, proceed through to a lower deck. However, a sliding middle deck is inserted between the other two decks which has only some of the holes so that a drilling rig has a real probability of being blocked and therefore results in a "dry well". Due to the symmetrical nature of the decks, the sliding middle deck may be removed from a specially provided channel, rotated along any plane and then re-inserted. This provides eight different playing configuration from a single sliding deck. Additional decks may be provided for increased variety.

Abstract: A game board is composed of interchangeable congruent game board segments butted together randomly. The game board has an overall pathway design that differs with each arrangement of the congruent game board segments, in an infinite number of arrangements of the game board segments, each resulting in a unique overall pathway design. The geometric shape of the congruent game board segments of one particular embodiment of the invention is square, but other geometric shapes may also be used if all the game board segments of a particular set are congruent, all sides of all the game board segments are of equal length, and all interior angles of all the game board segments are equal in arc measurement. These stipulations ensure interchangeability regardless of the orientation of the various game board segments. Equilateral triangle and regular hexagons could be used. The pathway designs on the various congruent game board segments may be different for the several segments of a given set.

Abstract: An improved bingo display for use in manual or video electronic games. In the manual version, a bingo card contains permanently written numbers in the N-column and the third row. The remaining sixteen squares define four discrete groups of four squares each and there is a disk secured to and on top of each discrete group. The disks with unique symbols thereon can be rotated by a player so that the numbers or symbols thereon can be positioned in their traditional position or rotated during play so that the number or symbols on one square can be moved to another square and a bingo may be obtained. In the electronic embodiment, numbers in the N-column and third row through the free space are a first color at the start of the game. The remaining sixteen squares of groups of four are of a second color but are continuously changing color in a random pattern. After a predetermined period of time, certain of the sixteen squares take on the first color while others remain the same.

Abstract: A game derived from tick-tack-toe, and a gameboard and game pieces for playing the game. The gameboard is square, with a grid of sixteen square locations to receive game pieces.

Abstract: Disclosed are two interrelated sets of adult skill-oriented games derived from Vectorial and Mancala-like intelligence. In respect to their structural elements and behavioral dimensions these games evidence numerous improvements over the state of the art. The essential, linking feature common to all games of the invention is the rapid qualitative and quantitative transference of pieces, as defined, within a restricted, vectorial field or matrix with a view toward establishing certain winning formations, values or results. Speed - the Mach Factor - accounts for up to 50% of the total values in the games. Part I of the games of the invention declares what I call Vectorial games and game-systems. This group is divided into three categories: miniature Mancala-like games, pyramidic games and tangramatic games. Part II relates to games which evidence new and improved formats, apparatus and methods for making and playing traditional Mancala type games.
