    (54) Tossable strategy-type game with tri-dimensional playing surface


    (57) A tossable, tri-dimensional strategy-type game comprising a tri-dimensional body adapted to be tossed and caught during play, the body including a playing surface (100) enclosing the body with the playing surface being divided into distinct areas defining a regular pattern of at least first and second visually distinguishable surface areas (106, 108). A plurality of flexible playing pieces (102) are associated with at least the first surface areas, the playing pieces each having attach­ment means for being releasably attached to selected surface areas with sufficient strength to be retained on the selected surface areas during tossing while enabling the playing pieces to be manually detached from the selected surface areas. The strategy-type game according to the invention enables players to interact on a common tri-dimensional playing surface without the players being forced to remain in close proximity to one another while the game is in progress.
