- the player to commence play can be determined randomly using for example the roll of a die or other means as would be known to a worker skilled in the art.
- the order of play proceeds, for example, in a clockwise manner commencing with player one, as selected previously.
- the active player uses the random determination device in order to establish the movement of their player identifier along the path formation, thereby determining a task indicia and a possible related action to be performed for this turn.
- movement of a player's identifier may commence in a clockwise direction along the path formation or alternately in a counter-clockwise direction. In addition, this direction of movement may be amended during play of the game.
- the active player Upon the determination of the task indicia and a possible related action for their turn by movement of their player identifier along the path formation, the active player performs the action and subsequently attempts to place a playing piece in their possession within the puzzle creation region. These events may alternately be performed in the opposite sequence wherein the player attempts to place a playing piece within the puzzle creation region prior to performing the designated action. The sequence in which these events are performed may affect the possibility of a player being able to place a playing piece within the puzzle creation region. For example, if the action requires the relinquishing of one or more playing pieces within their possession, (in the active player's individual area) there may not be a playing piece left in their individual area for insertion into the puzzle creation region.
- the subsequent player Upon the completion of the active player's turn, the subsequent player randomly moves their player identifier along the path formation, thereby determining a task indicia and possibly a related action to be performed.
- the new active player proceeds to perform the determined action and subsequently attempts to place a playing piece within the puzzle creation region, or vice versa.
- the active player sequentially changes as previously determined until one of the players wins the game by, for example, being the first to complete their designated portion of the puzzle.
- a task indicia may or may not have an affiliated action therewith.
- Actions may comprise, for example taking one or more playing pieces from an opponent's individual area or the communal area, returning playing pieces to the communal area or giving playing pieces to an opponent or any combination thereof.
- Additional actions may involve, for example the removal of a placed playing piece from an opponents portion of the puzzle or the removal of a placed playing piece of the active player's portion of the puzzle. In this example, these removed pieces may be returned to the communal area.
- a worker skilled in the art would understand that a number of other actions may be associated with a task indicia.
- FIG. 5 illustrates an example of the game board having a number of playing pieces interconnected, as may occur during play of the game.
- a player's goal is to be the first to complete a predetermined section of the puzzle within the puzzle creation region thereby winning the game.
- a player may have to place the largest number of playing pieces within the puzzle creation region to win.
- the active player may be provided the opportunity to place as many playing pieces within their possession into the puzzle creation region as possible.
- a player may be provided with an additional chance to move their player identifier along the path formation during the same turn if they have been successful in the placement of a playing piece within the puzzle creation region.
- a timing device may be used in order to limit the time provided for a player to attempt to place a playing piece within the puzzle creation region. In this manner the speed of the game may be increased and/or the difficulty of the game may be adjusted. For example, if the time provided for the placement of a playing piece is short, a player may have more difficulty identifying a playing piece that may be placed within the puzzle creation region.
- the game may be used to improve the hand eye coordination of a player, in addition to basic motor, focussing and concentration skills.
- a game according to the present invention may be an entertaining way by which these types of skills can be developed, improved and/or rehabilitated.
- FIG. 6 illustrates an example of a game board with all of the playing pieces interconnected within the puzzle creation region.
- the theme relates to the placement of toys into a bin which is defined by the central image to be constructed during play of the game. Each of the toys within the bin is presented on the game board intertwining the path formation.
- a possibility of at least three levels of difficulty of play may be envisioned.
- the players being provided with a representation of the completed image, thereby identifying the location of each of the playing pieces within the puzzle creation region may be considered the easiest level of play.
- a more difficult level of play may be envisioned if the completed image is not known, however a list of articles within a particular player's assigned portion of the puzzle is provided. This may assist a player with the selection of playing pieces during play. And the most difficult level can involve no references to the image or articles within the image at all.
