Abstract: A tile game system is provided that includes a plurality of two-dimensional and three-dimensional components. The two-dimensional components can include a plurality of modular tiles provided in various sizes and configurations that can be joined together to form a grid-based gameplay area. The three-dimensional components can include external boundaries for the gameplay area, internal boundaries, terrain elements such as columns and staircases, and game figures. According to aspects of the present disclosure, the external and internal boundaries can be provided with recessed sections that allow a game figure to be contained within a single grid square and prevent the grid of the gameplay area from becoming warped. According to some aspects of the present disclosure the internal and external boundaries can be illuminated and provided with removable and interchangeable light-permeable skins that allow a user to switch between various illuminated designs.

Abstract: Systems and methods for designing and selling a user-generated game offered for sale via an online retail platform are provided. A user can input user-specified game information via a computing device over a network instructions for the development of the components of a game are automatically created based at least in part on the user-specified game information. Moreover, the systems and methods may further include transmitting the instructions for the development of the components of the game to an online retail platform, print on demand manufacturing the game, and thereafter offering the game for sale or rent via the online retail platform.

Abstract: A random outcome generator for games is provided herein. The random outcome generator for games comprises a base having a bottom wall defining a finger therein including a stopper extending from a top surface thereof, the finger being pivotally movable and horizontally biased, a top engaged with the base, and a dial secured between the top and the base and freely rotatable therebetween, the dial including one or more recesses in a bottom surface thereof, the finger of the base engaging a recess of the dial when horizontal and disengaging the recess of the dial by pivoting when the dial rotates.

Abstract: A game piece with swappable base and method of swapping bases is provided. The game piece includes a base having a selector disk rotatably engaged with a base disk, and a label positioned between the selector disk and the base disk, and a figure having a platform and a character. The base disk includes a figure retaining area, such that the platform of the figure is configured to be removably secured with the area. A second base may be provided having a second selector disk rotatably engaged with a second base disk, and a second label positioned between the second selector disk and the second base disk. The second base disk includes a figure retaining area, such that the platform of the figure is configured to be removably secured with the area of the second base. The figure may be swapped between the first base and the second base.
