Building plates (A, B, G) are 5 classified as a group 1 (10a), in which all are formed with 16 units (U). Building plates (C, F, 1) are classified as a group 2 (10b), in which all are formed with 20 units (U). Building plates (D, E, H, J, K, L) are classified as group 3 (10c), in which all are formed with 18 units (U). By referring to Table 2, said groups 1, 2 and 3 (10a, 1Ob, 1Oc) will be integrated into the building plate assembly (10) with 10 12 building blocks (A to L) and the sum of 216 units (U). Table 2 Group Building plates No. of units Building Group 1 (10a) A, B, G 16 plates Group 2 (10b) C, F, I 20 assembly Group 3 (10c) D, E, H, J, K, L 18 -13 (10) Table 3 Building plates No. of concave (11) No. of convex (12) A,B,G 4 2 C, F, I 2 4 D, E, H,J,K,L 3 3 Numbers of concave and convex portions (11, 12) of building plates categorized 5 into one group are also the same. As shown in Table 3, building plates (A, B, G) which are classified as group 1 (10a) comprises of 4 concave portions (11) and 2 convex portions (12) respectively. Building plates (C, F, 1) which are classified as group 2 (10b) comprises of 2 concave portions (11) and 4 convex portions (12) respectively. For building plates (D, E, H, J, K, L) of group 3 (10c), each thereof 10 comprises of 3 concave portions (11) and 3 convex portions (12). By comparing the numbers of units (U) of said groups, it can be known that building plates of group 1 (10a) have the least units (U), thus the size thereof should be the smallest while building plates of group 2 (10b) should have the largest size as each is formed with 20 units (U). When arranging building plates 15 in a limited space, the size thereof determine the difficulty of the game. In the present invention, by arranging group with larger size first, the game will be solved much easier than arranging primarily with group having smaller size. The concept of using rounded or arc shape for concave and convex portions (11, 12) and four corners is that blunt edges can avoid the player hurt by 20 perpendicular or sharp corners. From aspect of physics, the arc or structure supports more weight which prevents that corner or convex portion (12) of the -14 building plate to be broken off by applying excess force during the game or dropping on the ground. Figs. 3A-3C illustrate three examples of symmetrical figures arranged by interlocking the concave portion (11) of a building plate with the convex portion 5 (12) of another. The 12 building plates (A to L) can be played as tangram to formed pluralities shapes and since the edges and corners of each building plate is rounded, it brings more challenge for younger player to recognize the shape than the traditional tangram. As shown in Figs. 4, 5 and 6, pluralities of projected juncture (13) are provided at 10 the top and bottom surface of each building plate respectively for engaging and affixing with pluralities of positioning slots (21) disposed on the game tray (20) securely. The juncture (13) is preferably manufactured in a convex semi spherical shape and disposed about the edge of the building plate. The positioning slot (21) is manufactured in a shape that corresponds with the 15 juncture (13), in the present invention, a concave semi-spherical shape. Both juncture (13) and slot (21) are equivalent to the size of a unit (U). The number of junctures (13) provided onto each side of the building plate is preferably determined between 2 and 8. When number of the juncture (13) is less than 2, it lacks its property as fixing mechanism while junctures (13) 20 exceeds 9, it may delay and make it difficult to arrange the building plate onto the game tray (20). Further, since shapes of building plates are similar, junctures (13) can also be served as a mark to recognize and differ with each other. Said positioning slots (21) are provided on a concave platform (22) that is disposed onto the game tray (20) for limiting the number of the slots (21). With 25 smaller size of platform (22) and less number of slots (21), the difficulty and complexity of the game is increased. As shown in Figs. 7A and 7B, the second type game tray (20) comprises of 625 positioning slots (21). Since all 12 building plates (A to L) comprise only 216 units (U), 409 units (U) are left as free space to increase the possible figures that can be arranged by the building plates (A to L).

-15 The game tray (20) disclosed in Figs. 7A and 7B is ideally for young players to learn and recognize geometry shapes. Since the building plates (A to L) are securely fixed onto the game tray (20) by interlocking the juncture (13) with the slot (21), thus, as shown in Fig. 6, a groove 5 (14) whose depth is preferably deeper than 1 mm, is provided at the top and bottom sides of each building plate respectively for facilitating the removal of the building plate from the game tray (20). For advanced player who seeks challenge, the third type game tray (20) as shown in Figs. 8A and 8B is provided to bring the game to a higher level of 10 difficulty. With a hard cover (30) pin jointed with a side of the game tray (20), all building plates (A to L) are well kept and stored inside the game tray (20). The game tray (20) includes 216 positioning slots (21), matching exactly with total units (U) of all 12 building plates (A to L). Without free space as disclosed in Figs. 7A and 7B, possible assembled arrangements are drastically reduced to 15 increase the difficulty of the game. Moreover, pluralities of concave and convex edges (23, 24) are provided along four borders. Unlike the game device disclosed in the cited document having straight lines for the edges, the borders with curvatures limits the pieces of building plates that can be utilized for edges, which also enhance the difficulty to solve the game. An edge has both convex 20 and concave edges (23, 24) disposed at, the game's difficulty is higher than only convex edges (23) or concave edges (24) have been disposed at; however, when each unit of the edge is formed with a convex or concave edges (23, 24), the limitation of building plates can be arranged for the border is reduced. As result, the puzzle is easier to be solved. 25 Fig. 9A discloses a fourth type game tray (20) comprising 236 slots (21), and pluralities of concave edge (24) along the borders of the platform (22). As mentioned previously, all 12 building plates consist of 216 units (U), thus 20 units (U) are left as free space. For said space of 20 units (U), pluralities of building plates (M) are disclosed in this embodiment. As shown in Fig. 9A, 10 building 30 plates (M) of 2 units (U) each, are placed on an inner side of the cover (30). The -16 number and unit f building plate (M) can be varied; however, the sum of units (U) of all building plates (M) must equal to 20 units for filling said free space. Figs. 9B, 9C and 9D demonstrate a possible gaming method which can involve two or multi-players to participate. The first player solves the game as illustrated 5 in Fig. 9B, then the player removes building plates (A to L) from the game tray (20), left only building plates (M) arranged at the edges of the platform (22) as shown in Fig. 9C and passed the game to the next player. With the borders of the platform (22) consisting of convex and concave edges (23, 24) determined by previous player, the current player must rearrange all building plates (A to L) onto 10 the game tray (20) as shown in Fig. 9D without moving any building plates (M). The player ought to find the exactly arrangement of previous player has used or find another solution for solving the game. The time that each player has spent can be used for ranking and to determine level of each player. Fig. 10 illustrates another embodiment of the present invention wherein a 15 building plate (N) is fastened onto a square-like fifth type game tray (20) during the manufacture. For solving the game, the player must arrange the building plates (A to L) on the game tray (20) with the building plate (N) served as an obstruction. Fig. 10 discloses a building plate (N) of 9 units (U); however, number and size of the building plate (N) is not limited in the present invention. As 20 number of units for building plate (N) increase, game's difficulty is also raised. Figs. 11A and 11B disclose a square-like sixth type game tray (20) having 245 positioning slots (21) and pluralities of concave edge (24) disposed at borders of platform (22). Without building plate (M) or building plate (N), this embodiment is left with 29 slots (21) as free space for the player, suitable for player of 25 intermediate level. Figs. 12A and 12B disclose a rhombic seventh type game tray (20) having 248 positioning slots (21) and a convex edge (23) disposed at all four corners of the concave platform (22) respectively. The positioning slots (21) seem to be aligned evenly; however, by turning the game tray (20) 45 degree counter-clockwise, it 30 can be seen that all slots (21) are staggered-arranged into twenty three lines -17 wherein each odd row is a slot (21) less than each odd row. All 12 building plates (A to L) are arranged and inserted with an angle of 45 degree as shown in Fig. 12B. Since the building plate is usually arranged vertically or horizontally, an oblique angle may increase the difficulty and challenge of the game. 5 The present invention is not to be limited in scope by any of the specific embodiments described herein. These embodiments are intended for the purpose of exemplification only. Functionally equivalent products, formulations and methods are clearly within the scope of the invention as described herein.
