Abstract

A set of N game dice, each of the N dice having at least N faces with each of N faces of each die bearing one of a group of N 2 design markings. The group of N 2 design markings is formed by the combination of each of N values of a first attribute series with each of N values of a second attribute series. The N 2 design markings are divided into N subgroups such that each attribute value of each attribute series comprises only one design marking in each of the subgroups. The N design markings of each subgroup are borne by a multiple of N faces of a different die. Each design marking is borne by the same multiple of faces.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A set of N game dice:
 each die having at least N faces;   each face of a multiple of N faces of each die bearing a design marking selected from a group of N 2  primary design markings;   said group of N 2  primary design markings formed by combining each of N values of a first design marking attribute series with each of N values of a second design marking attribute series;   said group of N 2  primary design markings split into N subgroups of N primary design markings;   such that each of the N values of said first design marking attribute series comprises one of the N primary design markings of each of the N subgroups and each of the N values of said second design marking attribute series comprises one of the N primary design markings of each of the N subgroups;   each said subgroup of N primary design markings borne by the faces of a different die of said dice set;   each of the N primary design markings of said subgroup borne by the same multiple of faces of said die.   
     
     
         2 . The machine equivalent of the game dice as in  claim 1  on one or more of the following devices: electronic video game machines, mechanical game machines, computers, hand-held mechanical devices, and hand-held video devices. 
     
     
         3 . The game dice as in  claim 1 , wherein each die has N faces and each face of each die bears a different primary design marking. 
     
     
         4 . The machine equivalent of the game dice as in  claim 3  used on one or more of the following devices: electronic video game machines, mechanical game machines, computers, hand-held mechanical devices, and hand-held video devices. 
     
     
         5 . The game dice as in  claim 3 , wherein it is a set of six dice and each die has six faces. 
     
     
         6 . The game dice as in  claim 5 , wherein the first design marking attribute type is quantity of dots and the second design marking attribute type is color of dots. 
     
     
         7 . The game dice as in  claim 5 , wherein the first design marking attribute type is numeral and the second design marking attribute type is color of die face. 
     
     
         8 . The game dice as in  claim 5 , wherein the first design marking attribute type is playing card rank and the second design marking attribute type is playing card suit. 
     
     
         9 . The machine equivalent of the game dice as in  claim 5  used on one or more of the following devices: electronic video game machines, mechanical game machines, computers, hand-held mechanical devices, and hand-held video devices. 
     
     
         10 . The game dice as in  claim 1 , wherein each die has 2N faces and two faces of each die bear the same primary design marking. 
     
     
         11 . The game dice as in  claim 10 , wherein it is a set of five dice and each die has ten faces. 
     
     
         12 . The game dice as in  claim 10 , wherein it is a set of four dice and each die has eight faces. 
     
     
         13 . The game dice as in  claim 10 , wherein it is a set of three dice and each die has six faces. 
     
     
         14 . The game dice as in  claim 1 , wherein:
 each of the N dice has P faces and P is larger than N;   the first N faces of each of the N dice bear a design marking from said group of N 2  primary design markings;   each of the remaining P-N faces of each die bears a secondary design marking with attributes different from the elements of said first and second design marking attribute series.   
     
     
         15 . The machine equivalent of the game dice as in  claim 14  used on one or more of the following devices: electronic video game machines, mechanical game machines, computers, hand-held mechanical devices, and hand-held video devices. 
     
     
         16 . The game dice as in  claim 14 , wherein the secondary design markings are the same on each die. 
     
     
         17 . The machine equivalent of the game dice as in  claim 16  used on one or more of the following devices: electronic video game machines, mechanical game machines, computers, hand-held mechanical devices, and hand-held video devices. 
     
     
         18 . The game dice as in  claim 16 , wherein it is a set of five dice and each die has six faces.
