Genetic deck based game

Abstract

A game element for use in a genetic deck based game. The game element includes indicia to partition a larger set of game elements into ordered subsets of game elements. The game element also includes a unique identifier for the genetic deck.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A game element for use in a genetic deck based game, the game element comprising:
 indicia to partition a larger set of game elements into ordered subsets of game elements; and   a unique identifier for the genetic deck.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes a cost indicia that gives the cost of putting a card into play. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes a sequence indicia that is used to identify a specific element within a grouping or partition of game elements with an identical signature indicia called a signature partition. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes a sub group indicia that is used to group or partition a set of game elements  100  into certain types based on shared attributes including strengths, weakness and capabilities. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes an alignment indicia that classifies a larger group or partition of game elements  100  as being part of one or more game play styles. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes a signature indicia configured to be used as the primary way to group or partition game elements. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes a title used as the name for a game element. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes control text configured to explain the power of a game element. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the indicia includes a control image configured to represent the game element. 
     
     
         10 . A system for playing a genetic deck based game, the system comprising:
 at least one game element, the at least one game element including:
 one or more indicia to partition a larger set of game elements into ordered subsets of game elements; and 
 a unique identifier for the genetic deck; 
   a set of game tokens assigned a numerical value; and   a game surface including a plurality of game spaces.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the numerical value determines the level or strength of the playing piece. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the numerical value determines the movement range and pattern of the playing piece. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the numerical value may be adjusted during the course of play. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the playing surface includes a board. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the playing surface includes a mat. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the tokens are integrated in to the game elements. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the game playing surface is integrated in to the game element. 
     
     
         18 . A system for playing a genetic deck based game, the system comprising:
 a game surface including a plurality of game spaces configured to allow play by at least two players; and   a first set of game elements assigned to the first player, wherein each of the game elements in the first set of game elements includes:
 one or more indicia to partition a larger set of game elements into ordered subsets of game elements; and 
 a unique identifier for the first set of game elements; 
   a first set of game tokens assigned to the first player, wherein each of the game tokens in the first set of game tokens is assigned a numerical value;   a second set of game elements assigned to the second player, wherein each of the game elements in the second set of game elements includes:
 one or more indicia to partition a larger set of game elements into ordered subsets of game elements; and 
 a unique identifier for the second set of game elements; 
   a second set of game tokens assigned to the second player, wherein each of the game tokens in the second set of game tokens is assigned a numerical value;   a layout for each of the two players for placement of the player's game elements; and   a set of random number generators.   
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the random number generators include dice. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 18 , further comprising a journal, wherein the journal:
 allows the activation of the first set of game elements using a unique identifier;   allows the de-activation of the first set of game elements using the unique identifier.
