Foldable-type game board for strategic word pattern engagement

Abstract

My child educational board game, “Word Battle Generation 2”, embodies a simplified game configuration that 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 situation, where the goal in and of itself is to reach and eliminate occupied coordinates, he/she must locate and actually identify the quality of opponents' pieces (these being letters) before the other competitors capture or eliminate out of play all his/her own word patterns.

1 . In a method of playing a word discovery game apparatus comprising:
 A rectangular foldable-type game board, the rectangular foldable-type game board including two rectangular boards of congruent width, length and height, wherein the two rectangular boards are hinged together on the top, and which are further connected together with a bracketed brace on either side of the game board, so as to be folded, and when unfolded, so that an angle is formed from the hinge that is less than one hundred eighty degrees, then display two separate and identical grids, one on each rectangular board surface, which function as playing fields for the arrangement of game pieces prior to and during play, with each playing field being a rectangular grid defined by a predetermined number of rows and columns which are sectioned into individual unit spaces, with each playing field having an equal number of congruent rows, columns, and unit spaces, and where each unit space of each grid is of congruent dimensions;   a first playing field, located on a surface of one of the two rectangular boards, that is used as an action area for placing a first set of game pieces that are received onto and removed from individual coordinates of that playing field for the purpose of spelling words in any direction, and that is marked along the top row and far left or far right side column with alphanumeric symbols for the purpose of coordinate identification;   a second playing field identical to the first, located on a surface of a second of the two rectangular boards, that is used as a display grid for placing a first set, a second set, and a third set of game pieces that are received onto and removed from individual coordinates of that playing field for the purpose of displaying for all opponents which letters on opponents' first playing fields have been discovered, which spaces on opponents' first playing fields are occupied by unknown letters, and which spaces on opponents' first playing fields have not been prepositioned with letters;   three sets of game pieces wherein a first set of game pieces each has one letter imprinted on it and which are adhered with magnetic backing on the opposite side so as to allow each to be received onto and removed from individual unit space coordinates of the playing fields for the spelling of words;   a second set of game pieces that each has a question mark imprinted on it and which are adhered with magnetic backing on the opposite side so as to allow each to be received onto and removed from individual unit space coordinates of a second playing field to indicate a selected coordinate that is currently occupied by a letter in a corresponding coordinate on an opponent's first playing field, the identity of which is not currently known, and   a third set of game pieces that each has a red surface imprinted on it and which are adhered by magnetic backing on the opposite side so as to allow each to be received onto and removed from individual unit space coordinates of a second playing field to indicate a coordinate selected by a player where no letter has been prepositioned by an opponent on that corresponding coordinate in the first playing field.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  further including game pieces wherein each game piece is marked with a color. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1  further including game pieces wherein each game piece is marked with a number. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1  further including game pieces wherein each game piece is marked with an object. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1  further including game pieces wherein each game piece is marked with a person or character.
