Attachable and detachable playing piece for board games

Abstract

The present invention is an attachable and detachable playing piece used primarily for representing a player in a game. The feature of being able to easily attach and detach itself from another similarly constructed playing pieces is for the purpose of allowing the playing piece to be used for games that allow for or require players to partner-up. When partnered, for example, players may attach their playing pieces together, thereby allowing them to move together in the course of the game. And if the game requires subsequent splitting-up of the partnership, the playing pieces may easily detach themselves from each other.

What I claim as my invention is:  
     
         1 . A playing piece for games constructed in such a way that each playing piece has a means of allowing it to be easily attached to and detached from each other.  
     
     
         2 . A playing piece, as recited in  claim 1 , wherein pieces representing different players are attached side by side to each other so that players are represented equally when their playing pieces are attached together.
