  • Publication number: 20200230514
    Abstract: A multiplayer game utilizes a throwing device which comprises a flying disc with a container secured thereto which contains one or more multisided tokens, for example conventional six-sided dice, coins, or cards. When the player throws the disc, the tokens will become agitated, resulting in a random disposition of the tokens when the throwing device comes to rest. Players can accumulate points based on the values displayed on the dice within the container. The throwing device may be provided with a container having two compartments, so that points may be determined for two players in a single throw.

  • Patent number: 6450499
    Abstract: The present invention is an educational word game and method of playing same that may be provided in single or bi-lingual versions and that challenges players to form as many new words from a set of at least two base words as possible within a limited amount of time. The word game requires that the players define a set of rules for each game prior to play and by the random selection of round prize amounts and the letter length of the at least two base words, and thus the number and type of letters players may use to form new words. Base word letter length and prize amounts are determined by spinning a pointer on the board. Players fill in a game rules sheet. By requiring that two or more base words be used, the number, length, and sophistication of words a player may potentially make is greatly expanded.

  • Publication number: 20020119812
    Abstract: The present invention is an educational word game and method of playing same that may be provided in single or bi-lingual versions and that challenges players to form as many new words from a set of at least two base words as possible within a limited amount of time. The word game provides players greater and more varied entertainment and educational challenges over previous word games by requiring that the players define a set of rules for each game prior to play and by the random selection of round prize amounts and the letter length of the at least two base words, and thus the number and type of letters players may use to form new words. A pointer centrally attached to a game board is spun to determine the base word letter length and prize amounts for each of at least one round of play that comprise a game, by where the pointer lands on the board. Players fill in a game rules sheet by selecting from among optional rule definitions for each of a plurality of rules to define the set of rules for each game.
