- the game 10 includes a game piece playing surface 28.
- the structure 12 may be used to support the playing surface 28 and, in one embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a second opening 26, through a side 16 of the game structure 12, supports the game piece playing surface 28 therein.
- the game piece playing surface 28 may be defined by a door (not shown) which opens in a pivotal manner such that, when opened by a player, the door defines game piece playing surface 28.
- the second opening (as illustrated by the dashed lines in FIG. 1) is located on a side wall or side portion of the structure such that the game piece playing surface is defined by a surface the structure is supported on (e.g., table top, floor, etc.) and during play the game pieces are slid into the structure through the opening in the side wall.
- the game piece on the game piece playing surface is slid into the structure by a replacement piece that is played by a player, the replacement piece matching at least one of the identifiers (common or first) and the replacement piece is now disposed on the game piece playing surface. This process continues until a player wins by playing all of their game pieces.
- the door may be closed with a game piece resident on the game piece playing surface 28 thereby disposing of said game piece 30 into the storage space 18 of the structure.
- the game piece playing surface may receive a subsequent game piece thereon.
- the playing surface 28 may clip on to, or otherwise engage, the upper edge 24 of the structure for support thereby and as discussed above the replacement game piece pushes the game piece on the playing surface into the structure and the replacement or played game piece is left on the game piece playing surface.
- the game piece playing surface 28 is configured to support a game piece 30 when the game 10 is in play.
- Game pieces 30, FIGS. 1, 4 and 5 are provided and are configured to be easily handled by a child.
- the game pieces may be configured as spheres having a three-dimensional aspect (height, width) but may also be blocks, discs, cylinders or other easily handled shape.
- each of the game pieces in a particular subset of the of the game pieces may have unique structural configuration for example similar to those illustrated in the attached figures or other shapes such as blocks, triangles, cylinders, etc. or any other suitable shape capable of being matched with a group yet unique or distinct from another subset or groups.
- the spherical game pieces 30 may include a flat surface or flat surface portion 31 which allows the game piece to be placed on a playing surface without rolling.
- the number of game pieces 30 may vary depending upon the particular rules of the game; however the total of the pieces will easily fit within the inner storage space 18 of the structure 12. In other words, the game structure 12 has dimensions which will accommodate storage of the game pieces 30 therein.

- the game pieces may comprise a plurality of sub-sets with each sub-set including game pieces having at least a first identifier 34 common to the subset and an identifier 36.
- Each identifier 36 in a sub-set is common with at least one other identifier 36 of another subset.
- Special game pieces 38 may also be included in the game 10, with each special game piece having a particular use during game play.
- the game pieces 30 are mixed in the inner storage space 18 of the structure 12 and if necessary, the game piece playing surface 28 is deployed and each player draws a set number of game pieces 30 from within the storage space 18. Each player places the pieces in front of him or her with the identifier bearing surface 32 facing up for easy visibility. In one version of game play it may be desirable to hide a player's game pieces from another so that they do which pieces you have. In order to hide the game pieces and in one embodiment each player will have a partition 33 in order to hide their games pieces from the other players.
- a first player or “dealer” draws a single game piece from within the storage space 18 and places the game piece on the game piece playing surface 28.
- a second player observes the game piece 30, supported on the playing surface 28, and compares the identifiers 34, 36 of that game piece with those drawn earlier by him or her. If any of the identifiers of the game piece on the playing surface 28 matches an identifier of a game piece in the second players previously drawn collection of pieces, the player may play that piece and place his or her matching game piece on the playing surface and slide the previous piece into the storage space of the structure 12 with the played piece thus changing the piece on the playing surface with the one from their set (e.g., the played piece), thus reducing their number of game pieces by one. Now the next player must match the new piece on the playing surface.
- a new game piece 30 is placed on the playing surface 28 or the previous piece stays on the playing surface and the next player must match the piece on the playing surface wherein the new game pieces that can be placed on the game piece playing surface is determined by the game piece identifiers.
- One exemplary format for playing or a set of rules for playing this game is similar to that of UNO.

- special game pieces 38 may allow a player to take particular actions which are not described above.
- the special games pieces are played as wild cards or trump pieces which allows them to match any piece located on the playing surface and also allows the user to pick or choose the next identifier (e.g., color and/or character).
- these pieces may be more valuable than other game pieces.
- more than one special game piece can be in the plurality of game pieces and the different special game pieces can be provided.
- Non- limiting examples include a game piece that causes the next player to skip his or her turn, pick a number of pieces from the structure and skip their turn, reverse direction of game play (e.g., change who goes next), change at least one identifier of the game piece on the playing surface, etc.
- the special game pieces add additional excitement and intrigue to the game.
- one embodiment describes pulling game pieces from the structure and discarding them back in, via sliding a game piece into the structure as it is replaced with a new game piece
- a separate discard pile may be employed wherein the used pieces are taken out of play or alternatively a separate draw pile is placed outside the structure and only discarded pieces are placed in the structure and once the game has started they cannot be pulled out again.
- the object of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all of their game pieces and use the structure as a receptacle for receiving played or un- played game pieces.

- the first identifier may comprise a variety of colors and indicia to depict the farm animal or other character (e.g., black and white to depict the cow or skunk on a background color (common identifier) of red, blue, green and yellow).
- the common identifier may be disposed in any particular place and merely provides a means for matching with a common identifier of another sub-set.
- the first identifier may include or be the configuration of the game piece.
- Special game pieces such as skunk 124 and farmer piece 126 may also be included in the game 10, with each special piece having a particular use during game play.
- a game and game play in accordance with an exemplary embodiment of the present invention is provided below.
- the set will consist of 28 farm animal pieces: 4 Cow shaped pieces - red, yellow, blue, green; 4 Pig shaped pieces - red, yellow, blue, green; 4 Chicken shaped pieces - red, yellow, blue, green; 4 Sheep shaped pieces - red, yellow, blue, green; 4 Cat shaped pieces - red, yellow, blue, green; 4 Skunk shaped pieces - red, yellow, blue, green; 4 Farmer shaped pieces - brown.
- the number style and color of the game pieces is merely provided an illustrative example and exemplary embodiments of the present invention are not intended to be limited by the specific embodiments disclosed herein.
- the object of the game is to be the first player to put all of their barnyard animals back in to the barn.
- all of the farm animal game pieces are placed in the barn and mixed up.
- Each player draws the same number of pieces (e.g., 5 pieces or other number) from the barn. If there are more 4 or 5 players less pieces should be drawn.
- Each player places their pieces in front of them so they can see them however, they will be hidden from the other players or opponents as they are placed behind their partition. The remaining pieces will remain in the barn for now.
- the hayloft platform door is opened to show the game playing surface.
- a first player or dealer pulls out an animal from the barn and places it on the hayloft platform or game playing surface.
- a player next to the dealer then starts the game by looking into their hand of previously collected games pieces for a game piece that matches the color or character of the piece on the hayloft or game playing surface.
- One example is as follows: If the animal on the game playing surface is a blue cow, the player may play any blue animal or any color cow piece. Instead of playing a matching animal or color, the player may change the color of play by playing the farmer piece by playing the farmer piece and calling out the color they want to play.
- the farmer is a wild card or special game piece allowing its holder to change the color and character of the game pieces being played next.
- the next player e.g., clockwise or counter clockwise direction.
- Each new piece played will take place of the previous animal on the hayloft platform or game piece playing surface wherein the last animal piece played will be pushed into the barn by the new piece that is put in its place on the playing surface.
- the skunk is a draw 2 game piece such that, when a player plays the skunk piece, the next player must draw 2 game pieces and skip his/her turn.
- the skunk piece can only be played if it matches the color of the previously played piece or if the previously played piece was a skunk.
- Another example is the farmer, which acts as a wild card wherein a player may play the farmer on top of any animal of any color. When a player discards the farmer, they must "call" the color and/or animal they wish to play. The player may even call the current color if they like. A player may also play a farmer even if you have another playable game piece in their hand.
- Other contemplated special game pieces would be reverse order, wild cards, wild cards plus next player loses turn and picks up more game pieces, next player loses turn etc.
- the barn must be sturdy enough for game play and the roof will hinge on one side to access the contents.
- the barn will also have a window on one end, (e.g., the hayloft) and the hayloft door (plastic) will hinge down to make a platform or game piece playing surface to play the animals on. When shut, it will close off the open window to keep the pieces inside.
- a cylindrical structure such as that illustrated in FIG. 3, may represent a farm silo.
- a bird's nest wherein the game pieces relate to the bird's nest, or a zoo wherein the animals are related to the zoo, or sports related themes wherein the structure is shaped like a football, baseball, basketball or soccer ball and the game pieces are mini-balls or other related items that can be placed in the structure (e.g., sports figures) still others may be related to comic figures or celebrities.
- the game pieces comprise colors and numbers and other special pieces (wild card, pick up two, lose a turn), wherein the game piece color or number must be matched unless one of the special cards is played.
