Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2009089582A1] A three-dimensional word game apparatus (100), comprises a plurality of game pieces (108, 110) and a game board (102). At least some of the game pieces comprise tiles (108) having two faces (202, 204) and two pairs of opposed edges, at least one of the faces (202) being substantially flat and bearing game indicia (206), and each pair of opposed edges having complementary connecting structures (208, 210, 212, 214) adapted to interconnect neighbouring game pieces along a vertical axis (v) and a first horizontal axis (h-i). Furthermore, at least some of the game pieces, which may be dedicated corner pieces (1 10), comprise a connecting structure (302, 304) adapted to connect a game piece which is connected with a neighbouring piece along said vertical axis (v) and/or said first horizontal axis (In1) with one or more further neighbouring game pieces, along a second horizontal axis (h2) orthogonal to the first horizontal axis. The game board (102) includes at least one connecting structure (106) complementary with one of said connecting structures (214) on an edge of the tiles, which is thereby adapted to support a three-dimensional construction of game pieces above the game board (102). A method (800) of playing the game is also provided, wherein players take turns to arrange (810) the game pieces into a three-dimensional construction according to specified rules of arrangement, and are allocated (812) scores based upon tile values which may be multiplied in accordance with the players' use of corner pieces.
