Definitions

  • the invention relates to an apparatus for playing a game, and particularly to a game representing a field of warfare.
  • DE-OS-2645 412 which comprises a rectangular base enclosed by a frame, onto which blocks of square cross-section and varying height can be placed to form a structure of different levels.
  • an apparatus for playing a game comprising a base, a plurality of platforms adapted to be placed over said base, and a set of playing pieces for placement on said platforms, characterised by said platforms being divided into sub-sets of platforms, the platforms of each said sub-set having a top surface of the same colour, and each said platform being slidably connected to said base such that its height above the base can be varied so that a structure of varying levels can be built up using said platforms.
  • each platform is connected to the base by a vertical projection on the platform or base which slides coaxially on a hollow vertical projection on the lower base or platform respectively.
  • Each platform 10 is slidably connected to the base 1 and, in the embodiment shown in Figures 1 and 2, this is achieved by each platform 10 having a vertical cylindrical projection 11 which slidably engages a corresponding hollow vertical projection 12 on the base 1.
  • the fit between the projections 11 and 12 is such that relative movement is easy but will not occur unless pressure is exerted on the platforms.
  • the height of a platform above the base can be varied, so that a structure of different levels can be formed as shown in Figure 2.
  • This could represent, for example, a piece of terrain comprising air, land and sea which could be, for example, white, green and blue respectively, and the playing pieces could represent war machines, as is shown in Figures 3 to 8.
  • the rules for playing such a game are set out in the applicants' co-pending European patent application No. 86309076.7, which corresponds to publication no. 0 224 381.
  • the platforms are of square cross section, so that a structure can be formed without gaps between the platforms and which, provided the number of platforms is sufficient, may cover the whole base.
  • This structure then represents the playing surface on which the playing pieces are placed.
  • the base which is generally square or rectangular may additionally comprise a raised rim 2 so that, in the case where the whole base is to be covered by platforms, additional support is given to the playing surface.
