Innumerable different playing surfaces or patterns can be created as a result of the individual forms being juxtaposed and then some or all of the aforesaid forms can be removed and replaced by different forms and/or some or all of the forms can be removed and replaced by the same forms in different juxtaposition. Two sets of eight movable playing units are contained on and move on the playing surface of square and rectangle forms, wherein the movable units engage and capture each other.

Abstract: A children's game is provided in which plastic animals, such as turtles, are used as playing pieces and race along the track of a game board, advancing a given number of spaces on the basis of the spinning of a dial. The game board, however, is round and rotatable and has a base with randomly positioned magnets under the spaces on the board. The playing pieces also include magnets which are affected when they are on spaces over the random magnets. In particular, the playing piece is designed so that the animal's head drops when over a magnet, so it "falls asleep." The animal can then be "awakened" by rotating the board the equivalent of one space and so removing it from the magnet. In doing so, however, another player's piece may be moved over a magnet and similarly "fall asleep".

The shafts are of a tubular construction composed of a polyester matrix containing graphite fibers, a lead insert being used to impart a desired and uniform mass to a given set of shafts.

Abstract: A pressurized plenum or air chamber is separated by internal walls to form slots, holes or the like. The separated chambers may be either in gas pressure communication or entirely separated from each other. Game piece manipulation devices operate a controller via these slots or holes. The upper surface of the plenum is perforated to enable the pressurized air to escape and form a boundary layer of air at the playing surface. The air pressure may be controlled, at the perforations, in order to form different zones of surface friction.
