Light game system and method

Abstract

A light game system and method. An example light game system includes a game board having a plurality of segments. The example light game system also includes a light source configured to generate a light beam on the game board. The example light game system also includes a plurality of game pieces configured to be moved in the plurality of segments. At least one of the game pieces has a surface configured to reflect the light beam from the light source during game play.

1 . A light game system comprising:
 a game board having a plurality of segments;   a light source configured to generate a light beam on the game board;   a plurality of game pieces configured to be moved in the plurality of segments; and   wherein at least one of the game pieces has a surface configured to reflect the light beam from the light source during game play.   
     
     
         2 . The light game system of  claim 1 , further comprising a chamber formed between a transparent cover and the plurality of segments of the game board. 
     
     
         3 . The light game system of  claim 1 , further comprising a vapor source to generate a vapor on the game board to enhance visibility of the light beam. 
     
     
         4 . The light game system of  claim 1 , further comprising a game piece manipulator configured to move the game pieces on the game board. 
     
     
         5 . The light game system of  claim 4 , wherein at least one of the game pieces has a magnetic component to engage with the game piece manipulator. 
     
     
         6 . The light game system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the game pieces has an interconnect to engage with the segments of the game board 
     
     
         7 . The light game system of  claim 1 , wherein the game pieces have a surface configured to reflect the light beam at a predetermined angle. 
     
     
         8 . The light game system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the game pieces has a substantially 0 degree reflective surface. 
     
     
         9 . The light game system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the game pieces has a substantially 22.5 degree offset reflective surface. 
     
     
         10 . The light game system of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the game pieces has a substantially 45 degree reflective surface. 
     
     
         11 . A light game system comprising:
 a game board;   a light source configured to generate a laser light beam across an upper surface of the game board;   at least one game piece configured to reflect the laser light beam.   
     
     
         12 . The light game system of  claim 11 , further comprising a sealed chamber of the game board, wherein game play commences within the sealed chamber. 
     
     
         13 . The light game system of  claim 12 , further comprising a vapor source to generate a vapor or fog in the sealed chamber to enhance visibility of the light beam in the sealed chamber. 
     
     
         14 . The light game system of  claim 11 , further comprising a transparent cover enclosing the at least one game piece within the game board. 
     
     
         15 . The light game system of  claim 14 , further comprising a game piece manipulator configured to move the game pieces under the transparent cover. 
     
     
         16 . The light game system of  claim 11 , further comprising a game piece manipulator configured to move the game pieces without touching the game pieces. 
     
     
         17 . The light game system of  claim 11 , wherein the game pieces are configured to reflect the light beam at a predetermined angle relative to an incoming direction of the light beam. 
     
     
         18 . A method comprising:
 providing a game board with a plurality of game pieces in a sealed chamber under a transparent cover;   generating a light beam within the sealed chamber of the game board;   reflecting the light beam in the sealed chamber among the plurality of game pieces on the game board.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising generate a vapor in the sealed chamber to enhance visibility of the light beam in the vapor chamber. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising moving one of the plurality of game pieces in the sealed chamber without touching the moving game piece.
