Abstract

This disclosure relates to a system and method for playing a beer dice game in an aquatic environment. The system can comprise a floatable gaming table. The floatable gaming table can comprise a table top, a buoyant layer, and a cup holder. The table top can comprise a playing surface. The playing surface can comprise a line that divides the playing surface into a first territory and a second territory. The buoyant layer can have a density sufficiently low enough such that the playing surface can float above a surface of water when the floating gaming table is placed within the water. The cup holder can be at each corner of the tabletop.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A system for playing a game in an aquatic environment comprising
 a floatable gaming table comprising
 a tabletop comprising
 a playing surface, said playing surface comprising a line that divides said playing surface into a first territory and a second territory 
 
 a buoyant layer that supports said tabletop, said buoyant layer having a density sufficiently low enough such that said playing surface can float above a surface of water when said floating gaming table is placed within aquatic environment; and 
 a cup holder or a cup at each corner of said tabletop. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said floatable gaming table divides into a plurality of interlocking planks, such that when said planks are interconnected, said planks form said floatable gaming table. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said top playing surface of said tabletop is substantially flat. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said tabletop further comprises a plurality of small drain orifices intermittently placed across said playing surface, each said drain orifice passing through said tabletop. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 5 , wherein said tabletop further comprises a plurality of dimples that protrude inward or outward in relation to said playing surface 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein said playing surface further comprises a plurality of channels, said channels allow water to drain from said playing surface. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said tabletop attaches and detaches from said buoyant layer by fasteners. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein said buoyant layer is inflatable and deflatable. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8  wherein said buoyant layer comprises a plurality of discrete segments, said discrete segment together capable of supporting said table top. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1  wherein said tabletop further comprises one or more secondary cup holders, said one or more secondary cup holders away from said playing surface. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising an anchor and an anchor line, wherein said floatable gaming table attaches to said anchor line, said anchor line also attaching to said anchor. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11  wherein a length of said anchor line is adjustable. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 1  further comprising one or more dice, each of said dice comprising a plurality of flat faces, a plurality of edges, and a plurality of corners. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein said plurality of edges, said plurality of corners of said die are beveled. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein said plurality of edges and said plurality of corners are rounded. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 13  wherein said one or more dice each have a density less than the density of water. 
     
     
         17 . A method for playing beer dice in an aquatic environment comprising
 placing a floatable gaming table in an aquatic environment, wherein said floatable gaming table comprises   a tabletop comprising
 a playing surface, said playing surface comprising a line that divides said playing surface into a first playing area and a second playing area 
 a buoyant layer having a density sufficiently low enough such that said playing surface can float above a surface of water when said floating gaming table is placed within the water; and 
 a cup holder or cup at each corner of said tabletop. and 
   playing a game using said floatable gaming table, said game comprising bouncing one or more dice off said playing surface of said floatable gaming table, said one or more dice each having a density less than the density of water.   
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising the step of detaching said tabletop from said buoyancy layer after said game. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising the step of folding said tabletop at a hinge of said floatable gaming table. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 17  further comprising the step of inflating said buoyancy layer prior to playing said game.
