Abstract

A strategy game comprising a removable bottom with a plurality of exit tracks, a removable top plate having a plurality of entrance holes, a removable center column, a plurality of removable turnable disks having differing configurations of passageways, and a plurality of spheroid game pieces. In some examples, the bottom plate is configured to have a plurality of exit holes. In some further examples, the strategy gamed includes differing arrangements of turnable disks and varying configurations of passageways.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 ) A strategy game comprising:
 a removable bottom plate having a bottom center aperture and a plurality of exit tracks;   a removable top plate having a top center aperture and a plurality of entrance holes;   a removable center column;   a plurality of removable turnable disks; and   a plurality of spheroid game pieces.   
     
     
         2 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein the bottom plate is configured to removably receive the center column via the bottom center aperture. 
     
     
         3 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein the top plate is configured to removably receive the center column via the bottom center aperture. 
     
     
         4 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein the top plate is offset from the topmost turnable disk of said plurality of turnable disks by 45 degrees. 
     
     
         5 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein the removable center column further comprises:
 a post; 
 a flexible rod; 
 a bottom securing means; and 
 a top securing means. 
 
     
     
         6 ) The strategy game of  claim 4  wherein the top securing means attaches to the top plate via the top center aperture and wherein the bottom securing means attaches to the bottom plate via the bottom center aperture. 
     
     
         7 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein the turnable disk further comprises:
 at least one vertical angled passage; 
 at least one vertical linear passage; 
 a disk center aperture; and 
 a plurality of tabs. 
 
     
     
         8 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of turnable disks is vertically arranged by inserting the center column into the disk center aperture of each turnable disk. 
     
     
         9 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein a turnable disk may comprise only at least one vertical passage or only at least one an angled passage. 
     
     
         10 ) The strategy game of  claim 6  wherein the disk center aperture further comprises at least four detents. 
     
     
         11 ) The strategy game of  claim 6  wherein said tab effectuates movement of the turnable disk about the center column in 90 degree increments and whereby the detents act in concert with the flexible rod to function as a stop for a turnable disk. 
     
     
         12 ) The strategy game of  claim 6  wherein the plurality of vertical angled passages and the plurality of vertical linear passages are arranged in differing patterns on a turnable disk. 
     
     
         13 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said plurality of turnable disks is rotated about the center column such that a vertical angled passage may be vertically aligned with a vertical angled passage of the adjacent turnable disk immediately below it to create a shaft whereby said spheroid game piece may travel in a downward motion from one turnable disk to the turnable disk below it. 
     
     
         14 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said plurality of turnable disks is rotated about the center column such that a vertical angled passage may be vertically aligned with a vertical linear passage of the adjacent turnable disk immediately below it to create a shaft whereby said spheroid game piece may travel in a downward motion from one turnable disk to the turnable disk below it. 
     
     
         15 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said plurality of turnable disks is rotated about the center column such that a vertical linear passage may be vertically aligned with a vertical angled passage of the adjacent turnable disk immediately below it to create a shaft whereby said spheroid game piece may travel in a downward motion from one turnable disk to the turnable disk below it. 
     
     
         16 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein rotating at least one of said plurality of turnable disks is rotated about the center column such that a vertical linear passage may be vertically aligned with a vertical linear passage of the adjacent turnable disk immediately below it to create a shaft whereby said spheroid game piece may travel in a downward motion from one turnable disk to the turnable disk below it. 
     
     
         17 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said plurality of turnable disks is rotated about the center column such that a vertical angled passage is not vertically aligned with a vertical linear passage or a vertical angled passage of the adjacent turnable disk immediately below such that no shaft is created and the spheroid game piece does not travel vertically downward from one turnable disk to the turnable disk below it. 
     
     
         18 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein the plurality of turnable disks may be vertically arranged in different orders. 
     
     
         19 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein at least one of said plurality of disks may be color coded. 
     
     
         20 ) The strategy game of  claim 1  wherein each of said plurality of turnable disks is aligned such that the spheroid game piece may travel through the entire plurality of turnable disks from said top plate to said bottom plate and exit via one of said tracks.
