ABSTRACT:
Domino boards exploit an array of dominoes rotatably mounted to the top surface of each of the boards so that the array may be quickly reset by a single manipulation of the board by a user. A plurality of board shapes may be linked into modules and each module may also be reset by a single manipulative action. A plurality of modules are combined to form a game configuration.
A game of challenge is introduced by mounting dominoes at strategic locations on a specially designed board. An identifier such as color is associated with each of the dominoes on the board and a mathematical algorithm founded in "game theory" is deployed to generate a location for each domino based on its identifier. According to one set of game rules, there are two players, each player controls a color and the players alternate turns in knocking down a domino under one's control. Because of the placement of dominoes, one or more dominoes may be toppled by a single move by a player. The first player forced to knock down all of the dominoes under his/her control loses the game. To combine entertainment with the strategy, a configuration of other board types is associated with the special board.
