  • Patent number: 5671925
    Abstract: A substantially planar circular gamepiece with a recess adapted to receive a weight. The weight is advantageously of sufficient mass so that when the weight is placed in the recess of the gamepiece, a finger flick applied to the outer perimeter of the gamepiece is likely to propel the gamepiece across a surface without the gamepiece flipping over. A substantially planar protector is also disclosed, with a hole provided to receive the gamepiece therein for storage when not in use. When the gamepiece is received into the protector, a substantially continuous common planar surface is formed, suitable for imposing collectable and tradeable images thereon by printing or other means.

  • Patent number: 5465976
    Abstract: A substantially planar elliptical gamepiece with one or more indentations provided in the outer perimeter thereof. The position of an indentation is predetermined so that a finger flick, when applied to the indentation, is likely to propel the gamepiece with optimum height, length and accuracy. A substantially planar protector is also disclosed, with a hole provided to receive the gamepiece therein for storage when not in use. When the gamepiece is received into the protector, a substantially continuous common planar surface is formed, suitable for imposing collectable and tradeable images thereon by printing or other means.
