  • Patent number: 5346225
    Abstract: A domino-like game having a plurality of hexahedronal playing pieces, or tile. Each tile has a playing face that projects an overall outline that can be classified as being one of six distinct quadrilateral shapes--viz.: a rectangular shape; three trapezoidal shapes; and, two rhomboidal shapes. Each tile presents two indicia-presenting portions. The rectangularly shaped tile is divided into two, square, indicia-presenting portions. Two trapezoidal tile shapes are divided into a square indicia-presenting portion and a trapezoidal indicia-presenting portion, and those two trapezoidal shapes are mirror-images of each other. The third trapezoidal shape, as are the two rhomboidal shapes, are divided into two, equal, trapezoidal indicia-presenting portions. One rhomboidal shape is a mirror-image of the other. All the tile shapes have laterally spaced, parallel, side edges, but the transverse end edges may either be orthogonally or obliquely oriented with respect to the laterally spaced, side edges.
