A game board apparatus and a method of placement of tokens

Abstract

A game board apparatus (100) comprising at least two tokens (130) with a hollow open end (132) and a closed surface (134) including a cavity (136) a projection (138) extending from the closed surface (134); and a board (110) with a plurality of recesses (112) structured on the board (110) to receive the tokens (130), the recess (112) includes a first surface (114), a second surface (116) enclosed by the first surface (114), and a hole (118) at the center of the second surface (116), wherein the hole (118) receives the projection (138) and the second surface (116) receives the hollow open end (132) of the token (130) thereby avoiding displacement of the token (130) from the surface of the board and wherein the cavity (136) in the closed surface of the token receives the projection (138) of the token (130) thereby allowing stacking of the tokens (130). While playing a token (130) is placed over another token (130) forming a stack (144), wherein stacking is done by selecting the shortest path such that the number of steps taken for forming a stack (144) is same as the number of tokens (130) in the stack. FIG. 1 is the representative figure.

1 . A game board apparatus ( 100 ) comprising:
 at least two tokens ( 130 ) with a hollow open end ( 132 ) and a closed surface ( 134 ) including a cavity ( 136 );   a projection ( 138 ) extending from the closed surface ( 134 ); and   a board ( 110 ) with a plurality of recesses ( 112 ) structured on the board ( 110 ) to receive the tokens ( 130 ), the recess ( 112 ) includes a first surface ( 114 ), a second surface ( 116 ) enclosed by the first surface ( 114 ), and a hole ( 118 ) at the center of the second surface ( 116 ),   wherein the hole ( 118 ) receives the projection ( 138 ) and the second surface ( 116 ) receives the hollow open end ( 132 ) of the token ( 130 ) thereby avoiding displacement of the token ( 130 ) from the surface of the board and wherein the cavity ( 136 ) in the closed surface of the token receives the projection ( 138 ) of the token ( 130 ) thereby allowing stacking of the tokens ( 130 ).   
     
     
         2 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cavity ( 136 ) in the closed surface ( 134 ) of the token ( 130 ) is cylindrical shaped. 
     
     
         3 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first surface ( 114 ) of the recess ( 112 ) is protruding and the second surface ( 116 ) of the recess ( 112 ) is convex shaped. 
     
     
         4 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the closed surface ( 134 ) of the token ( 130 ) has a structure analogous to the structure of the recess ( 112 ) formed on the board ( 110 ) to receive the token ( 130 ) for stacking. 
     
     
         5 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the token ( 130 ) includes at least one variable selected from a shape and a color. 
     
     
         6 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the token ( 130 ) has a shape selected from an icing, a muffin and a plate. 
     
     
         7 . A game board apparatus ( 100 ) comprising:
 at least two tokens ( 130 ) with a hollow open end ( 132 ) and a closed surface ( 134 ) including a cavity ( 136 );   a projection ( 138 ) extending from the closed surface ( 134 );   a board ( 110 ) with a plurality of recesses ( 112 ) structured on the board in to receive the token ( 130 ), the recess ( 112 ) includes a first surface ( 114 ), a second surface ( 116 ) enclosed by the first surface ( 114 ), and a hole ( 118 ) at the center of the second surface ( 116 ); and   at least one card ( 140 ) each consisting of different patterns ( 142 ) of tokens ( 130 );   wherein the hole ( 118 ) receives the projection ( 138 ) and the second surface ( 116 ) receives the hollow open end ( 132 ) of the token ( 130 ) thereby arranging the tokens ( 130 ) based on the pattern ( 142 ) and avoiding displacement of the token ( 130 ) from the surface of the board ( 110 ), and wherein the cavity ( 136 ) formed on the closed surface ( 134 ) of the token ( 130 ) receives the projection ( 138 ) of the token ( 130 ) thereby stacking the tokens ( 130 ).   
     
     
         8 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the cavity ( 136 ) in the closed surface ( 134 ) of the token ( 130 ) is cylindrical shaped. 
     
     
         9 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first surface ( 114 ) of the recess ( 112 ) is protruding and the second surface ( 116 ) of the recess is convex shaped. 
     
     
         10 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the token ( 130 ) includes at least one variable selected from a shape and a color. 
     
     
         11 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the shape includes three different shapes selected from an icing, a muffin and a plate. 
     
     
         12 . The game board apparatus ( 100 ) as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the pattern on the card has a starting point indicated by any one of an icing shaped token ( 130 ) and a muffin shaped token, an ending point indicated by any one of a plate shaped token ( 130 ) and a muffin shaped token.
