AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent describes a game that can be customized, transported, and played anywhere.

Problems solved by technology

Games that involve physical exertion do exist and provide entertainment, but lack portability and customization.

Game tables, such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,467,985, are bulky and often require electricity, which is not always readily available.

As such, transport is very difficult and often impractical.

These games are not ideal for those hoping to play a game that is closer to Skelzies, primarily because the games are played on a board with an outer barrier, and aren't customizable to a set room size.
