Embodiment Construction

[0029]Disclosed is a game set that includes a plurality of tiles. Each tile has at least one indicia and at least one attachment feature that allows the tiles to be attached to each other in a three-dimensional manner. The tiles can be attached to create at least one visual image. For example, the indicia may be letters and the tiles can be attached in either horizontal or vertical directions to create words. A player may be provided a score that corresponds to the number of tiles attached by that player, or tiles might have predetermined scores dependent upon the difficulty or frequency of use of a letter or image appearing on that tile. The attachment of tiles allows the three-dimensional game to be played without a game board, if so desired, both increasing the portability of the game (since no gameboard must be transported) and also providing for cost-efficient marketing of the game (since a costly gameboard is eliminated). Another advantage of being able to play the game withou...

Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates to a game with interconnected tiles.[0004]2. Prior Art[0005]There have been marketed many different types of games that require cooperation with individual pieces. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 2,953,380 discloses a map puzzle with interconnecting pieces of identical shape, providing for the interlocking of image segments that, when the puzzle is completed, constitutes an entire image.[0006]U.S. Pat. No. 3,993,313, discloses a jigsaw puzzle educational play device with cube-like elements that have convex spheroidal lugs. The lugs provide interconnection to adjacent or stacking elements with corresponding concave spheroidal depressions. The players attempt to construct specific images to achieve a game goal, but at the same time create secondary images that affect t...
