Abstract: A deployable structure having a plurality of panel elements is provided. Adjacent panel elements are connected to one another by hinges. The hinges allow the panel elements to be placed in a stowed or folded configuration, in which adjacent pairs of panel elements are folded against one another to provide a relatively compact assembly. Biasing members can be provided to transition the deployable structure from the stowed configuration to a deployed configuration. When in the deployed configuration, the relative positions of the panel elements of the deployable structure are maintained, at least in part, by locating interface assemblies. The deployable structure may have a generally annular configuration when deployed.

Abstract: A game apparatus includes a horizontal playing surface divided into individual playing areas by vertical intersecting walls. Play involves the assembly of geometrical building blocks within each playing area to progressively construct an identical segment of a building structure that is symmetrical across the walls and that includes the walls themselves. The building blocks must be arranged in predetermined layers of diminishing width and length to form a pyramidal structure. The upper wall surfaces are configured as stairways, causing the completed building structure to have the appearance of a Mayan temple. The method of play involves use of chance instructions to regulate assembly of the layers of building blocks. The players alternately add or remove building blocks as instructed until one player has completed a segment of the building structure.
