Tile game and method of game play

摘要

A cooperative tile game played on a surface and having bifurcated tiles formed of conjoined hexagons each having an indicia of value. Play is initiated by selecting and placing one or more tiles on the surface in a three-tile triangular initial configuration. Players first exchange tiles from their hand with those in the initial configuration to achieve a predetermined set of tiles in the initial configuration. Subsequent rounds begin with a tile from the previous round. During play tiles are placed in turn such that at least one edge of a hexagonal portions is adjacent to an edge of a hexagonal portion of a previously placed tile having the same indicia of value and such that no edge of is adjacent to a side having a different indicia of value. Play proceeds until all playable tiles are placed. The value of waste tiles is subtracted from the value of created assets to achieve a score. All players achieve the same score.

主权项

1. A multi-player game, comprising a planar surface; and
a plurality of bifurcated tiles, each of said tiles comprising a first hexagonally shaped portion permanently conjoined on a single side to a second hexagonally shaped portion, each of said first and second hexagonally shaped portions having five free sides extending from said conjoined side to form a regular hexagon each defining an upper surface on which one of a predetermined indicia of value is depicted; wherein said plurality of bifurcated tiles are positionable on said planar surface in accordance with a rule of said game whereby at least one free sides of a hexagonal portion of each of said plurality of bifurcated tiles is adjacent to one or more free sides of one or more hexagonally shaped portions of previously positioned tiles having the same indicia of value, and no free side of a hexagonal portion of each of said plurality of bifurcated tiles is adjacent to a free side of a hexagonal portion of a previously positioned tile having a different indicia of value; wherein each of said plurality of bifurcated tiles comprises a recess on a lower surface thereof, said lower surface being opposite said upper surface; and wherein said planar surface further comprises a plurality of raised protuberances, each of said plurality of protuberances corresponding to one of said recesses on said lower surface of each of said plurality of bifurcated tiles.
