  • Patent number: 7469899
    Abstract: A game assembly that enables at least one person to play a board game against a computerized opponent. A game board is provided having a plurality of playing spaces. The game board is configured for a predetermined game having known rules of play. An animated figure is positioned proximate the game board. The animated figure has an arm that can be selectively moved. An automation mechanism is used to selectively move the arm of the figure over the game board during play without touching the game board. The animated figure therefore provides a false appearance that the figure is actually playing the game.
