The products can be purchased/auctioned via an online platform that can be accessed by a user’s computer system or mobile device. One or more vouchers can be redeemed at a desired location and can be used to access the platform to effectuate the purchase of a product, enter into an auction for the product, or to redeem a gifted product. The NFT provides proof of ownership of the product, and is linked to the product by the system.

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 three-dimensional craft model including a head and body is provided. More specifically, the craft model includes a two-dimensional body cutout and a two-dimensional body cutout. The cutouts can be formed into three-dimensional head and body objects by folding portions of the cutouts about fold lines and the three-dimensional objects can be held in place using one or more of securing tabs, reciprocal slots, and locking tabs. Also provided herein is a method for forming the three-dimensional craft figure, including the steps of folding portions of the body cutout across fold lines, locking one or more locking tabs on the body cutout to form the body object, folding one or more portions of the head cutout across fold lines, inserting one or more securing tabs through corresponding slots in the head cutout to form the body object, and attaching the head object to the body object.

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: Systems and methods for designing and selling a user-generated game offered for sale via an online retail platform are provided. A user can input user-specified game information via a computing device over a network instructions for the development of the components of a game are automatically created based at least in part on the user-specified game information. Moreover, the systems and methods may further include transmitting the instructions for the development of the components of the game to an online retail platform, print on demand manufacturing the game, and thereafter offering the game for sale or rent via the online retail platform.

Abstract: A system and method for creating a themed virtual environment is provided. A computer system is in communication with at least one remote user computer system, and a themed virtual environment creation module is executed by the computer system. The themed virtual environment creation module allows a user of the at least one remote computer system to: select a template virtual environment and a plurality of primitives to be placed in the virtual environment; define one or more attributes associated with the primitives; uploading indicia to be applied to the plurality of primitives; customize the plurality of primitives by applying the indicia to the primitives; and customize the template virtual environment by placing the plurality of primitives at desired locations in the template virtual environment.

Abstract: A figure with a custom cover is provided herein. More specifically, provided is a custom cover for a figure comprising a heat-shrinkable, generally transparent, sheet sized and shaped for covering a figure, and the sheet receptive to ink and paint for decorating the figure. Also provided herein is a method for customizing a figure comprising decorating a custom cover, the custom cover being generally transparent and colorable, positioning the custom cover around the figure, and heat shrinking the custom cover to the figure to attach the cover to the figure. Further, provided herein is a kit for customizing a figure comprising a figure, a custom cover sized and shaped for covering the figure, the custom cover being colorable, a coloring agent for coloring the custom cover, and a tool for applying the coloring agent to the custom cover.

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.
