Simplified closable type game board device for basic symbol and alphanumeric recognition

Abstract

My child educational board game, “Word Battle Simplified”, embodies a configuration requiring players to approach the fundamentals of literacy and numeracy by calling out spaces in a competition of take away so that, once all prepositioned and hidden game elements on opponents' targeted regions are found, the last player with symbol marked blocks in his or her playing field wins.

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new game board design that allows multiple players to compete by selecting spaces on the board to reveal game elements. This design simplifies the game and helps children learn about words and symbols. The goal is to create a game that is more playable for children of different ages and to provide a more straightforward board design that matches school rules.

Problems solved by technology

Last, the application points to a problem of the prior art: notably, that a closable type game board designed with three separate grids yields a redundancy beyond what is needed to accomplish an objective of symbol discovery.

Further, there is a plurality of game pieces and maps and transparent grid sheets which may be used on the playing fields themselves, adding a degree of complexity to Lamb.

There are, however, flat boards which allow several players, but are still limited in the total number of potential contestants.

However, five people cannot play.

This advantage was constrained, however, in that they engage players on mere “hit or miss” cues, limiting assessments to success: failure ratios between opponents' progress against one another's targets.

With this said, a key disadvantage of previously provided word salvo games was their allowance for a maximum of two players in any competition.

They were thus limited in the scope of complexity which could have been achieved through three or more opponent play.

No previous design has enabled play for, conceivably, unlimited numbers of contestants.

The problem, however, is specifically addressed to the issue of designing a game board device for multiple players.

Throughout the prior art, multiplayer game boards have been created with a degree of complexity.
