Embodiment Construction

[0024]This application claims priority to U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 358,351, filed Jul. 5, 2016, and titled “Highly Configurable Game System,” and which is incorporated herein by reference.

[0025]A scalable and versatile game board, along with game pieces and components, methods of play, and ability to create a variety of different games, are disclosed.

[0026]In one embodiment, a scalable board unit, or “quad,” may employ a double-dove-tail design for unlimited scalability of game board size. Some embodiments may allow for limited scaling.

[0027]In another embodiment, a game board may include a mechanism by which the game board may be tilted toward and or away from any of three or more sides or directions, and by which the game board may remain in a tilted position indefinitely without the need for a human to hold the board in the tilted state.

[0028]FIG. 1 shows an exemplary quad. In one embodiment, a quad is a square shape, although other shapes could be employed without dep...
