Roll Battle and Method Thereof
An apparatus for a roll battle game comprises discs; disc bases, wherein each of the discs is disposed on each of the disc bases, and wherein each of the discs is relatively rotatable axially to each of the disc bases, and wherein a hole is formed; balls; and obstacles to impede the balls into the holes of the discs, wherein the obstacles are associated with the discs or the balls or both. A method of rolling battle game comprises steps of providing a roll battle game apparatus, introducing the plurality of players, directing players to either roll the ball to the hole or strike the ball of a previous player until all players roll the ball to stay in the hole; permitting players whose ball was struck by the other players to rotate the disc; the first player rolls to the base goal in the final iteration is the winner.
This application is a continuation-in-part of commonly-owned, same inventor, presently co-pending U.S. Nonprovisional patent application Ser. No. 15/067,095, filed Mar. 10, 2016, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
BACKGROUNDThe game of standard marbles is not featured for larger, easy-to-use components and a bigger playing area. It is not very user-friendly and the standard marbles are tiny and cumbersome for small children, disabled adults, or the elderly. Therefore, it is desired to have a game that can work on grass, dirt, pavement, or any large area for small children, disabled adults, or the elderly would be able to enjoy this time-honored amusement without struggling with tiny, cumbersome marbles. The traditional marble game is very static, which only depending on the player's rolling skill to determine the chance to roll the ball into the target hole. The target hole does not have any features to interact with the player and the player's strategies. The traditional game is only a manual process without any proactive association with the game devices. So, it is easy to get boring after playing the conventional game for a while, and it becomes only a seniors' game device.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThis invention is directed the apparatus for a roll battle game comprises a plurality of discs, wherein each of the plurality of discs further comprises a center, a circumference, and a surface between the center and the circumference, wherein the circumference is lower than the center, and wherein the surface is from the circumference and upwardly toward the center; a plurality of disc bases, wherein each of the plurality of discs disposed on each of the plurality of disc bases, and wherein each of the plurality of discs is relatively rotatable axially of each of the plurality of disc bases, and wherein a hole is formed through a center of each of the plurality of discs and each of the plurality of disc bases; a plurality of balls; and a plurality of obstacles to impede the plurality of balls into the hole of the plurality of discs, wherein the plurality of obstacles are associated with the plurality of discs or the plurality of balls or both. The invention is also directed to a method of playing the rolling battle game comprises steps of providing a roll battle game apparatus, introducing the plurality of players, directing players to either rolling the ball to the hole or striking the ball of a previous player until all players roll the ball to stay in the hole; permitting players whose ball was struck by the other players to rotate or spin the disc; the first player rolls to the base goal in the final iteration is the winner. This invention solves the issues traditional rolling-ball games. This invention incorporates the obstacles and the rotatable discs that increase the uncertainty of rolling the ball into the target holes. Furthermore, the inventive method of the roll battle game allows to knock away other's ball but also provide the rotation of the disc to revenge who knocks away other's ball.
