ABSTRACT:
A wall constructing tile game for a number of players utilizes a set of tiles having a shape suitable to enable them to be stably placed on a substantially flat playing support surface, to enable at least one to be stably placed on top of another tile, and to enable the player to place one edge of one tile against one edge of another tile thereby establishing a directional relationship between the tiles, the set of tiles being separated into a plurality of identifiable sub-categories of tiles. The rules of the game require players to construct a wall using tiles, each player randomly selecting a pre-determined number of tiles from the sub-category of "tower tiles" and a predetermined number from another sub-category of "wall tiles" of a number of suits, each suit having a sequence. The players take turns playing the tiles to construct a wall by (I) playing a single wall tile or several wall tiles adjacent each other of the same suit in a sequential manner as a "straight" or "run" or playing wall tiles one upon another of differing suits and of the same position and (II) playing a tower tile to complete a turn and provide a location from which to start a next turn with the suit of the tower tile matching the suit of the adjacent wall tile, the aim of the game being for a player to be the first to play his tiles.
