Claims
- 1. An apparatus for playing a game comprising a base and a plurality of platforms divided into subsets of different colors, said platforms being adapted to be placed over said base, and each one of said plurality of platforms having means for slidably connecting the platform to said base, the distance between the bottom surface of each said platform and said base being independently subject to selective setting at any said distance from said base within a predetermined range of distances, said means for slidably connecting each of said platforms to said base including an elongated projection from one of said base and said platform, and a corresponding elongated recess in the other of said platform and base engageable with said projection, said projection and said recess being sized and positioned such that the extent of engagement of said projection in said recess is variable to provide telescopic engagement therebetween, said range of distances being determined by the length of said projection that is received in said recess, structures of varying distances from said base being subject to assembly using said platforms,
- and a set of playing pieces adapted to rest on said platforms.
- 2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein each said platform is square in the plan view.
- 3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein all of said platforms are the same dimensionally.
- 4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the platforms are of sufficient number to cover the base.
- 5. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, wherein the platforms are dimensioned to make a structure without gaps between the platforms.
- 6. An apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said base is square and surrounded by a raised rim.
- 7. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1, and further comprising a set of plan pieces for placement on said platforms, said platforms being divided into sub-sets of platforms, the platforms of each said sub-set having a top surface of the same color.
- 8. An apparatus for playing a game comprising a base having a top surface and a plurality of platforms each platform having a bottom surface and being adapted to be placed over said base, and each one of said plurality of platforms having means for slidably connecting the platform to said base, the distance between the bottom surface of each said platform and said base top surface, being independently subject to selective setting at any said distance from said base within a predetermined range of distances, said means for slidably connecting each of said platforms to said base including elongated projections from said base top surface and from said platform, and recesses in the projections of one of said platforms and base, said recesses being engageable with said projections on the other of said platforms and base, each said projection and recess being sized such that the extent of engagement of said projection in said recess is variable over said predetermined range to provide telescopic engagement therebetween, said range of distances being determined by the length of said projection that is received in said recess, structures of varying distances from said base top surface being subject to assembly using said platforms,
- and a set of playing pieces adapted to rest on said platforms.
