Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2004009193A1] This invention relates to a method of playing a game by means of a game element (10). The invention further relates to a game element and a game board for playing a game. Said method comprises the steps of: placing the game element on a first location relative to a game board (40); determining, by the game board, the first location of the game element; determining, by the game board, a first information item representing game content, wherein said first information item is dependent on said location and a first game being played; transferring, by the game board, the first information item to the game element; and receiving and presenting said first information item on the game element. Said first information item may include plain text, pictures, frames, video, word-processor data, spread-sheet data, game figures, game elements, text or picture messages, and combinations thereof. Said step of determining the first location of the game element includes the steps of: transmitting, by at least one transmitter located on the game element, at least one signal identifying said game element; receiving, by at least one sensor (41) located on the game board, at least one identifying signal; and determining, by the game board, the first location based on at least one identifying signal. This allows addition of new game elements to a game without actually new elements being bought because modified information presented on said game elements may modify their kind and appearance.
