  • Patent number: 7059606
    Abstract: A method of playing a game includes providing a plurality of stackable game pieces, at least a proportion of which are parallelepiped game pieces having at least one pair of opposed non-right angle parallelogram end faces and at least one pair of opposed rectangular surfaces. The game pieces are arranged in a stack having multiple layers including an initial upper layer. The multiple layers include a plurality of parallelepiped layers formed from the parallelepiped game pieces which are rested on one of the rectangular surfaces and nested relative to one another in each respective parallelepiped layer. A selected game piece is removed from any layer of the stack other than the upper layer. The selected game piece is then replaced on top of the stack to reconfigure the game piece stack. The steps of removing and replacing are repeated by one or more players until a new upper layer is formed on top of the stack or until the stack topples.
