A haptic feedback controller 100 according to the present invention is a haptic feedback controller that controls a controlled appliance and includes a base 110, a cap 120, a piezoelectric motor 130, a rotation control device, and a rotational state detecting device.

According to haptic feedback controller 100 of the present invention, the piezoelectric motor 130 that can produce a large torque even when rotating at low speed is used, so that even when the cap 120 is rotated at low speed, sufficiently large haptic feedback can be applied to the cap 120. Also, since the base 110 and the cap 120 are respectively fixed to the stator 140 and the rotor 150 of the piezoelectric motor 130, there is no backlash. As a result, according to the present invention it is possible to provide a haptic feedback controller for which there is no loss in the ability to express haptic feedback, so that a wide variety of haptic feedback can be expressed.

The object of the game is to place the Playing Pieces upon the Playing Grid without intersecting each other, the Anchors, or the edge of the Playing Grid, in such a way as to create a connected path from one Anchor to any other.

In a lotto game the lotto draw is made from numbers within a multiplicity universes of numbers, with (1) each number universe having all the numbers normal to the lotto game, and with (2) at least one number universe having associated with at least one number of the universe a secondary indicia, or differentiator, that of one or more types each of which types is called a “color”. No two numbers of the lotto draw are the same whether plain or colored, but the lotto draw of different numbers can contain one or more numbers that are each of the one or more colors. Lotto wagers, or tickets, containing winning numbers matching the lotto draw sufficient for a winning payout are paid full normal amounts if the matched numbers are all plain numbers, but if the winning numbers of the lotto ticket contain some predetermined quantity of numbers that match numbers of the lotto draw that are colored numbers, then the winning payout is increased above levels that would correspondingly have been paid should the same winning payout of the lotto ticket have matched only numbers of the lotto draw that were plain numbers.

A deck of cards, each card displaying on upper face four fixed format mathematical problems, color coded to indicate skill level, to play the game, players simultaneously view a selected problem, objective being to be first player to solve problem using fixed format solution technique, examples: problem displayed is 4,3,2,1=6, players mathematically manipulate calculation numbers 4,3,2,1 to form solution number 6, solving format, form two questions, using each calculation number just once, having answers that can then be combined to form third question, with an answer equaling the solution number (6), two questions 4+3=7 3−2=1 answers are then combined to form third question 7−1=6 solution number, higher skill level example: 6,5,11,8=26 answer 6×11=66 8×5=40 66−40=26.

A method for playing a blackjack game wherein players compete against one another, rather than a dealer, to win. A player may win by having a blackjack, a double blackjack or 21.

A three-dimensional alignment board game includes four substantially aligned, spaced vertical levels of playing boards. Each level includes a grid forming a “5×5” planar matrix defining twenty-five placement areas for a total of one-hundred placement areas. At least two sets of playing pieces are distinguishable from each other and assigned to players of the game. Each piece can be placed and rest upon any of the one-hundred placement areas. A scorekeeping system keeps score by tracking points of the players. The game is completed when a player is first to accumulate a predetermined total number of points. The players take turns between/among themselves. Each player scores a first predetermined number of points by placing four pieces on four open vertically aligned placement areas of four levels, four pieces on four open diagonally aligned placement areas of four levels, or four pieces on four open horizontally aligned placement areas of any level.
