Closable-type electronic game grid box with digital display for strategic word pattern engagement

Abstract

My child educational board game, “Electronic Word Battle”, requires players to approach word learning, sequencing, and construction from a naval/military strategist point of view in that instead of targeting objectives in a mere hit-or-miss salvo situation, where the goal in and of itself is to reach and eliminate occupied coordinates, he/she must locate and actually identify, through the support of computerized digital displays that connect opponents and which keep track of dispersal and success or failure of attacks, the quality of the opponents' pieces (these being letters) before the other competitors capture or eliminate out of play all his/her own word patterns.

1 . In a word discovery and elimination game, the combination of three checkerboard game grid regions imprinted on a closable-type box, with the top open rectangular container and bottom open rectangular container, both of congruent dimensions, hinged together on one side so as to allow for proper opening and closing, wherein one of said checkerboard game grid regions is imprinted on the surface of the top lid, and one of said checkerboard game grid regions is imprinted underneath on the inside surface of the top lid, and wherein the third is also imprinted inside the closable-type box, but being on the surface of the bottom base, and where a red/green light indicator in the top center of the lid flashes with buzzer or chime sounds depending on success of player's move in locating letters, and wherein two or more of said game apparatus' may be linked together using USB cables for communication among closable-type game grid boxes regarding success or failure of moves during competition, and which when opened to an upright ninety degree angle, reveals a digital display device that is activated either with to be installed batteries or AC electrical adaptor, and that once the appropriate information has been entered in preparation for play, prompts the game forward in directing players on whom has done what during competition, and where the checkerboard game grid regions are utilized for competition between two or among three or more players, and where said playing fields of the checkerboard game grid regions contain individual checker squares and a perimeter of space equal to one row of checker squares of the same size and extending there from and completely surrounding all four sides of the square game grid areas, and where coordinate labels are affixed above and to the sides of said regions to accurately map all coordinates of said regions, and which includes four distinguishing identifiable sets of game pieces, each containing computer chips for registration and identification, and each being of a size capable of occupying and fitting onto a single square via magnetic backing, where one set of said game pieces represents letters of the alphabet and which are assembled into words which are placed on the bottom inside grid, and where one set of said game pieces represents red pieces which indicate no letter on called coordinates in game play and which are to be placed onto called coordinates for such game play identification, and where one set of said game pieces represents question marked pieces to indicate currently occupied called coordinate in game play whose letter in the opponents' grids is unknown and which are to be placed onto player's called coordinates for such game play identification, and where one set of said game pieces represents black pieces which are placed onto those spaces which signify coordinates within a player's own bottom game board grid region where letters had previously occupied said spaces, but which are now eliminated, and have been placed onto called coordinates for such ease of recognition during game play. 
   
   
       2 . The combination of  claim 1  and wherein competition of said game may include that number or more of linked closable-type game grid boxes whose combined network exceeds the necessary processing and memory speeds to adequately keep track of game apparatus' during competition, and when all are linked together via USB cables, may incorporate a personal computer to be hooked into the linked network, and with appropriate software, can provide the additional memory and processing speeds needed to connect multiple game apparatus' for competition. 
   
   
       3 . A combination of  claim 1  or  claim 2  wherein each of said sets of game pieces are of a different color from each other. 
   
   
       4 . A combination of  claim 1  or  claim 2  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with letters. 
   
   
       5 . A combination of  claim 1  or  claim 2  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with numbers. 
   
   
       6 . A combination of  claim 1  or  claim 2  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with objects. 
   
   
       7 . A combination of  claim 1  or  claim 2  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with colors. 
   
   
       8 . A combination of  claim 1  or  claim 2  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with characters or persons. 
   
   
       9 . A combination of  claim 1  or  claim 2  wherein the closable-type game grid box is of a circular dimension, with all imprinted grid coordinate regions being of circular proportioned dimensions, and with all individual coordinates being circular in shape. 
   
   
       10 . A combination of  claim 9  and wherein each of said sets of game pieces are of circular dimensions to fit onto said coordinates. 
   
   
       11 . A combination of  claim 9  wherein each of said sets of game pieces are of a different color from each other. 
   
   
       12 . A combination of  claim 9  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with letters. 
   
   
       13 . A combination of  claim 9  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with numbers. 
   
   
       14 . A combination of  claim 9  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with objects. 
   
   
       15 . A combination of  claim 9  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with colors. 
   
   
       16 . A combination of  claim 9  and wherein each of said game grid coordinate regions are identified with magnetized labels to be placed above and to the side of said grids, and wherein each sectioned unit of the label is marked with characters or persons.
