Multi-player sports board game featuring dice, strategy cards, and skill/weight based team simulations

Abstract

The game simulation system and method of the present invention can be implemented in different ways, such as in a physical game board configuration or a digitized configuration via mobile device, computer, and the like. It can be played for one-versus-one game play or it can be played as a digital game, such as via an electronic device, such as a mobile device, mobile phone, personal computer, tablet, and the like. The present invention provides the needed balance capturing the real sport in a 15-20 minute playing experience through the use of three triangular and connected game play elements, namely, 1) random dice play, 2) strategy card play, and 3) team tiles that provide unique abilities for a given team. This “trinity” is unique in voice, game mechanic, and functionality of the user experience, which is not found in currently known game simulations.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A sports game simulation, comprising:
 a game board simulating a game environment for a sport having two opponents;   at least one die for random selection of a number;   strategy cards representing game play elements;   team tiles representing unique abilities for each of the two opponents;   combining random selection of a number using the at least one die, the strategy cards and the team tiles to simulate game play of a sport.   
     
     
         2 . The sports game simulation of  claim 1 , wherein the game simulation is either a physical game or electronically digitized. 
     
     
         3 . The sports game simulation of  claim 1 , wherein the sport is selected from the group consisting of: football, hockey, basketball, baseball, mixed martial arts and soccer. 
     
     
         4 . The sports simulation of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one die is a pair of dice for each of the two opponents and an execution die. 
     
     
         5 . The sports simulation of  claim 1 , wherein the game board includes a recess for receiving the team tiles in different locations corresponding to each of the two opponents. 
     
     
         6 . The sports simulation of  claim 1 , wherein values of rolled dice of both components are compared to one other for gameplay action. 
     
     
         7 . The sports simulation of  claim 1 , wherein each opponents has a fixed number of turns or possessions in each game event.
