  • Patent number: 7168703
    Abstract: A puzzle game and method of playing provides for sequentially ordering a plurality of tiles that are originally oriented in a random pattern, and where a rotational element is included to increase the challenge. The game includes a frame with a central horizontal shaft defining a plurality of slide rows. A plurality of tiles are slideable along the horizontal axis within each of the plurality of slide rows, each of the plurality of tiles having a design on a front facing portion of the tile and an inverted form of the design on a rear facing portion of the tile. A sub-frame is rotatably mounted in the frame for rotating about the shaft.

  • Patent number: 5172912
    Abstract: A manipulable, two-sided, self-contained game puzzle with sequentially movable color-coded transfer members for selective movement between color-coded, collared apertures in a first rotatable member to color-coded, collared apertures of a second rotatable member where the first and second rotatable members are rotatably connected so that each of the collared apertures of one member can be brought into communication with each of the collared members of the second planar member during rotation thereof.

  • Patent number: 4871173
    Abstract: An amusement device includes an endless track containing a plurality of indicia bearing tokens independently movable in the track and filling the track. A first portion of the track is part of a turntable which permits the first portion to be rotated relative to the remainder of the track such that the order of the tokens in the first portion is reversed. The first portion of the track has a length relative to the sizes of the tokens such that at least two of the tokens are positioned in the first portion at any time.
