Abstract: A computer based game is played in a plurality of rounds on a matrix having a plurality of cells typically forming a rectangular matrix. A plurality of tokens is generated with each token defining a first indicator and a second indicator. The user places at least one of the tokens into one of the unoccupied cells of the matrix. When the user requests a new round, each token on the matrix is temporarily locked to its cell. An award is awarding based on the positional relationship between the indicators of the tokens with respect to one another when the user requests a new round. The tokens may be removed from the matrix based on the positional relationship between the indicators of the tokens with respect to one another.

Abstract: A puzzle game includes a plurality of game pieces arranged in an arrangement of game pieces. Each of the game pieces includes a matrix of polytopes. Each of the polytopes of each of the game pieces includes one of a pre-determined number of individual indicia disposed thereon, which is different than the individual indicia disposed on all of the other polytopes of the respective game pieces. The arrangement of game pieces includes a pre-determined number of rows and columns of polytopes. The game pieces are re-positioned within the arrangement of game pieces so that each of the individual indicia is displayed only once in each row of polytopes in the arrangement of game pieces and is displayed only once in each column of polytopes in the arrangement of game pieces.
