Personalized Game Board and Display Case

Abstract

A customizable game board adaptable for display on a horizontal or vertical surface, such that the customizable components remain in their appropriate locations on the game board regardless of the orientation with respect to the direction force of gravity.

1 . A game board comprising:
 a rigid frame with a plurality of wells positioned in a pattern about the frame that supports the play of a game;   a plurality of tiles suitably sized to be positionable within the wells; and   a securement element to secure the tiles within the wells in resistance to gravity.   
     
     
         2 . The game board of  claim 1 , where the securement element is intermediate a tile and a well floor. 
     
     
         3 . The game board of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a play surface fixedly positionable on the frame, over the wells.   
     
     
         4 . The game board of  claim 1  further comprising:
 wells formed as voids, each delineated by a floor surface on the frame, and bordered on one side by a perimeter wall, an opposite side by an interior wall, partitioned off from adjacent wells by dividers, having a first and second side generally perpendicular to the dividers where the first side is a section of the floor surface, and the second side is open; and 
 a well floor defined by the floor surface section proximate to the well. 
 
     
     
         5 . The game board of  claim 4 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a hook and loop fastener combination, where either the hook or the loop component is securely affixed to a tile and the complimentary component is affixed to the well floor.   
     
     
         6 . The game board of  claim 4 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a magnet in the well floor; and   a tile made of a magnetic attractive material.   
     
     
         7 . The game board of  claim 6 , where the magnetic attractive material is a metal. 
     
     
         8 . The game board of  claim 4 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a magnet in a tile; and   at least a portion of the well floor made of a magnetic attractive material.   
     
     
         9 . The game board of  claim 8 , where the magnetic attractive material is a metal. 
     
     
         10 . The game board of  claim 4 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a protrusion and orifice affixment combination, where one of either the tile and the well floor comprises one of either a protrusion component and a complimentary orifice component, and the other of the tile and the well floor comprises the other of either the protrusion component and the complimentary orifice component.   
     
     
         11 . The game board of  claim 4 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a deformable tile; and   a pair of dividers precisely shaped to permit the forced insertion and resist the removal of the tile.   
     
     
         12 . The game board of  claim 4 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a pair of deformable dividers precisely shaped to permit the forced insertion and resist the removal of a tile.   
     
     
         13 . A game board comprising:
 a rigid frame with a plurality of wells positioned in a pattern about the frame that supports the play of a game;   each well proximate a well floor and at least two dividers;   a plurality of tiles suitably sized to be positionable within the wells;   a play surface fixedly positionable on the frame, over the wells; and   a securement element to secure the tiles within the wells sufficiently to overcome the force of gravity oriented to separate them.   
     
     
         14 . The game board of  claim 13 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a hook and loop fastener combination, where either the hook or the loop component is securely affixed to a tile and the complimentary component is affixed to the well floor.   
     
     
         15 . The game board of  claim 13 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a magnet in the well floor; and   a tile comprising a magnetic attractive material.   
     
     
         16 . The game board of  claim 13 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a tile comprising a magnet; and   the well floor comprising a magnetic attractive material.   
     
     
         17 . The game board of  claim 13 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a protrusion and orifice affixment combination, where one of either the tile and the well floor comprises one of either a protrusion component and a complimentary orifice component, and the other of the tile and the well floor comprises the other of either the protrusion component and the complimentary orifice component.   
     
     
         18 . The game board of  claim 13 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a deformable tile; and   a pair of dividers precisely shaped to permit the forced insertion and resist the removal of the tile.   
     
     
         19 . The game board of  claim 13 , wherein the securement element further comprising:
 a pair of dividers precisely shaped and at least one divider being deformable, to permit the forced insertion and resist the removal of a tile.   
     
     
         20 . A game board comprising:
 a rigid frame with wells positioned in a pattern about the frame that supports the play of a game;   a plurality of tiles suitably sized to be positionable within the wells; and   a means for the tiles to resist gravity in position within the wells.
