Stacking game system

Abstract

A game has a plurality of game pieces that are configured to be stacked upon one another in a loosely interconnected fashion that permits the stack of game pieces to tumble once the stack becomes unbalanced or unstable.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A stacking game comprising:
 a plurality of game pieces configured to be stacked upon one another to form a stack of loosely interconnected game pieces, the plurality of game pieces having a base piece and a plurality of building pieces;   the base piece having a plurality of base projections and a plurality of base recesses, at least two of the base projections having a different shape from each other;   each building piece having a plurality of building projections and a plurality of building recesses, at least two of the building projections having a different shape from each other;   wherein each of the plurality of base recesses is configured to removable receive a building projection of a building in a loose interconnection therewith;   wherein each of the plurality of building recesses is configured to removable receive a building projection of a separate building piece in a loose interconnection therewith; and   wherein at least one building piece has at least one building projection configured such that when the building projection is received by a base recess of the base piece or a building recess of a separate building piece, the at least one building piece is hung from the base piece or the separate building piece.   
     
     
         2 . The stacking game of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one building projection has a stem with a circular shaped end. 
     
     
         3 . The stacking game of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one building projection has a hooked stem. 
     
     
         4 . The stacking game of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a plurality of wild card pieces, each of the wild card pieces having a different shape from each other, each wild card piece having a plurality of wild card projections and a plurality of wild card recesses, each wild card recess configured to removably receive a building projection or a base projection in a loose interconnection therewith, and each wild card projection configured to be removably received by a building recess or a base recess in a loose interconnection therewith.   
     
     
         5 . The stacking game of  claim 1 , wherein the game pieces are formed of amorphic shapes. 
     
     
         6 . The stacking game of  claim 1 , wherein each game piece has a pair of opposing broad faces separated by a thickness and a peripheral edge, and wherein the game pieces are configured to be stacked in a nonplanar stack of game pieces with broad faces of game pieces laying on different, intersecting planes. 
     
     
         7 . A stacking game comprising:
 a plurality of game pieces configured to be stacked upon one another to form a stack of loosely interconnected game pieces, the plurality of game pieces having a base piece and a plurality of building pieces;   the base piece having a plurality of base projections and a plurality of base recesses, at least two of the base projections having a different shape from each other;   each building piece having a plurality of building projections and a plurality of building recesses, at least two of the building projections having a different shape from each other;   wherein each of the plurality of base recesses is configured to removable receive a building projection of a building in a loose interconnection therewith;   wherein each of the plurality of building recesses is configured to removable receive a building projection of a separate building piece in a loose interconnection therewith;   wherein at least one building piece has at least one building projection is configured such that when the building projection is received by a base recess of the base piece or a building recess of a separate building piece the at least one building piece is hung from the base piece or the separate building piece;   wherein the at least one building projection has a stem with a circular shaped end or a hooked stem;   wherein each game piece has a pair of opposing broad faces separated by a thickness and a peripheral edge, and wherein the game pieces are configured to be stacked in a nonplanar stack of game pieces with broad faces of game pieces laying on different, intersecting planes; and   wherein the game pieces are formed of amorphic shapes.   
     
     
         8 . The stacking game of  claim 7 , further comprising:
 a plurality of wild card pieces, each of the wild card pieces having a different shape from each other, each wild card piece having a plurality of wild card projections and a plurality of wild card recesses, each wild card recess configured to removably receive a building projection or a base projection in a loose interconnection therewith, and each wild card projection configured to be removably received by a building recess or a base recess in a loose interconnection therewith.
