Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
[0001] This present application claims priority to TAIWAN Patent
Application Serial Number 099100110, filed Jan. 5, 2010, which is
herein incorporated by reference.
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0002] The present invention is generally related to the field of
multi-leveled information displaying device and, more particularly,
to a multi-leveled information displaying device with labeled
paths.
RELATED ART
[0003] Board games have been a popular source of entertainment for
people for a number of years. A number of games exist, including
the following.
[0004] A board game includes two playing boards, one mounted on top
of the other, and each player has four playing pieces. The goal of
the game is to move all four playing pieces from a start to an end
position. One player's piece can land on another player's piece and
send it back to the beginning The top board is rotated according to
a roll of the die. Whenever a game piece lands on an indicated
"socket," that piece is automatically moved to the socket above or
below the space on which the piece landed. The game also has a
feature where a piece that lands on certain designated sockets can
be moved to the center of the board. A player must roll a specific
number to move out of the center of the board, but when that number
is rolled the player can move to any of the transition sockets on
either game board. Optionally, a player making a move that ends on
an indicated socket can move diagonally when transitioning between
boards.
[0005] A game includes rotatable discs. The goal of the game is to
move pieces from a start position to an end position. The paths on
the game board, however, include paths on discs. Based on the spin
of a pinwheel, the players can rotate these discs during play.
[0006] It is a goal, therefore, to attempt to find a mix of the
random elements, strategy, theme and complexity that enhances
people's enjoyment of the game and retains their interest over
time. People playing games often wish to play familiar games in
order to avoid having to learn new and difficult rules. People also
become bored, however, with playing the same game over and over
again. Accordingly, people desire a new and improved game that
offers new features which are not found in the related art and that
provide a mix of skill, chance and theme that increase people's
enjoyment in their leisure time.
SUMMARY
[0007] The embodiments of the present invention provide a
multi-leveled information displaying device with labeled path.
[0008] In a first aspect of the embodiments of the present
invention, a multi-leveled information displaying device with
labeled path is provided. The multi-leveled information displaying
device with labeled path comprises a base layer comprising at least
an additional layer putting area and several information displaying
areas, and at least one the Nth additional layer comprising several
information displaying areas, wherein N is an integer more than or
equal to 1; when N equals to 1, the Nth additional layer is placed
on top of the base layer; when said N is more than 1, the Nth
additional layer is placed on top of the (N-1)th additional
layer
[0009] One advantage of the embodiments of the present invention is
improving the structure of existing flat-paneled MONOPOLY game to
be a three dimensional MONOPOLY game structure, and numerous gaming
route and method of playing are provided by the game. The
multi-leveled information displaying device with labeled path
disclosed by the present invention not only can be used as gaming
structure of MONOPOLY game but also can be used as teaching aids
with educating information after replacing the replaceable
information displaying area.
[0010] The aspects and features of the present invention are
described detailed in the following description of the preferred
embodiment and the accompanying figures for providing thoroughly
understanding of the present invention.
