  • Patent number: 6485019
    Abstract: Multiple playing levels in a stacked multilevel game, appear with unique indicia on different playing levels, and these indicia provide different pathways of movement for game pieces between multiple apertures which extend through the multiple playing levels. By switching the playing level relative to the game pieces, the situations and events faced by different players is altered. In a “book” format, switching playing levels is achieved simply by turning the pages forward or backward. Other formats include a “map” style, wherein different playing levels are secured to adjacent levels by folds in the game board, and a “stacked layer” style, wherein a plurality of playing levels are achieved by stacked layers.
