ABSTRACT:
A game device that uses an inclined playing surface to achieve the goal of making the game more convenient by allowing the player easier accessibility to game pieces. The game assembly includes a base, an upright module and a pair of support assemblies. The inclined playing surface is achieved through combination of a locking hinge and an interlocking set of bars. The locking hinge is achieved through the connection of a set of plastic fasteners on the pair of support assemblies to a set of notches on the base. The locking hinge allows the support assemblies to be able to pivot upwards towards the upright assembly. The interlocking set of bars is achieved through the even spacing of bars along the bottom edge of the base and the edge of the pair of support assemblies. An ergonomic design is achieved for player use of the game device with the base and upright assembly supported at the base, with the two gaming surface assemblies connected to the base such that when the device is on a supporting surface, the game surface assemblies extend angularly upwardly from the supporting surface to the base. The base may also include player interface electronic control panels.
