BUILDING BRICK GAME USING MAGNETIC LEVITATION

摘要

Described herein are systems and methods for stacking block games, which may include a game board or base including magnetized portions and a hover platform having at least one magnet connected thereto and being suspended above the game board or base and in a floating or hovering arrangement that can be generated by magnetic repulsion between the magnet of the platform and the magnetized portions of the game board or base. Further, a plurality of game pieces may be arranged in a stacked orientation on the platform.

主权项

1. A levitating stacking block game, comprising:
a game base having an upper surface at least partially defining an area of play for the stacking block game, and a series of magnets disposed adjacent the upper surface; a hover platform including a body having a top surface and at least one magnet arranged therealong, the hover platform suspended above the upper surface of the game base in a levitating arrangement generated at least in part by a magnetic repulsion between the at least one magnet of the hover platform and one or more of the series of magnets of the game base; and a plurality of game pieces having varying configurations and one or more planar surfaces, the game pieces configured to be arranged in stacked orientations on the top surface of the hover platform such that the platform at least partially supports the game pieces stacked thereon in a floating arrangement above the upper surface of the game base, wherein, during play of the levitating stacking block game, game pieces are successively stacked upon the hover platform to form block structures of varying arrangements on the hover platform without the game pieces becoming unstacked.
