Board Game

Abstract

A board game is presented that includes a game board or playing surface having an even plurality of precisely cut game piece sockets, each socket having a unique shape, and a plurality of game pieces, each game piece precisely engaging only one of the even plurality of game piece sockets. The game presents a contest for two or more players to be the first to fit all of their allocated, precisely cut pieces, each into their corresponding socket and then announce the name of the game, Pajaggle™. The board game may also be played individually against the clock to engage all of a pre-selected number of pieces in their respective sockets on a given board or playing surface.

1 . A board game comprising:
 a game board having an even plurality of precisely cut game piece sockets, each socket having a unique and generally similar shape;   a plurality of game pieces, each game piece precisely engaging only one of the even plurality of game piece sockets; and   a set of game rules.   
     
     
         2 . A board game comprising:
 a playing surface formed from a plurality of generally planar, polygonal plates which may be arranged together to form a plurality of different playing surface arrangements and shapes, each generally planar, polygonal plate including a precisely cut game piece sockets, each socket having a unique shape;   a plurality of game pieces, each game piece precisely engaging only one of the even plurality of game piece sockets; and   a set of game rules.   
     
     
         3 . A method of playing a board game comprising the steps of:
 providing the players with;
 a set of generally planar, polygonal game plates, each game plate having a unique socket; 
   a set of game pieces, each game piece corresponding to only one of the unique sockets of one plate of the set of game plates;   an opaque container for the set of game plates and an opaque container for the set of game pieces; and   a holder for each player to privately arrange and view selected pieces and plates prior to playing them; and   a set of game rules comprising the steps of game setup:   determining a playing area;   the players determine the order of play;   in order of play, each player reaches in each opaque container and removes five plates and five pieces;   each player arranges their five plates and five pieces in their respective holder; and   the set of game rules further comprising the steps of game play:   a first player takes another game piece or game plate from the appropriate opaque container and places it in his holder and then places a game plate from his holder in play in the predetermined play area and may continue if he holds the game piece corresponding to the in play game plate, and may place all combinations of game plates and corresponding game pieces during his turn and a turn ends when a player places a game plate in play and is unable to play the corresponding game piece;   a subsequent player takes another game piece or game plate from the appropriate opaque container and places it in his holder and then the subsequent player may place a game piece into any open game plate that is in play or may place a game plate in the play area, the subsequent player may also place any and all combinations of game plates and corresponding game pieces during his turn; and   game play continues in turn until a player runs out of game plates and game pieces.   
     
     
         4 . The method of game play wherein each game plate and game piece is assigned a point value and the point value of un-played game plates and game pieces in players holders at the end of play are used to determine relative finishing positions for the players.
