Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The prior art games, such as ‘assembling pattern’ and ‘seven pieces puzzle’ only have one playing way. Although many other games may change ways for playing, thus playing way only limits in a plane without any variations of three dimensions. Therefore, there is an eager demand for a novel game device which has many playing ways in two or three dimensions. Moreover, the playing way can be changed.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, the primary object of the present invention is to provide an assembled building block formed by nineteen unit assemblies and a plurality of round holes for forming various geometrical shapes of angles 60 degrees, 90 degrees and 120 degrees. The unit assemblies are formed by 1 and 3 to 6 small units integrally, there are five combination and nineteen sub-combination in the assembling of each unit assembly. The small unit of the unit assemblies is a polygon, and 9˜83 grooves for receiving the small units are formed on the surface of the building block seat. By the unit assemblies 1˜19 to conform with different building block seats, many different assemblies are formed. Moreover, different shapes, such a plane single layers, or a stacked double layers, or a stacked three layers, or pyramids with three to five layers can be assembled by the present invention.

By the aforesaid structure, the small units can be arranged in the building block seat steadily. Various pattern of single, double, three, fourth and five layers patterns can be assembled. The present invention has following advantages.

1. The plane arrangement can be converted into three dimensional assembly.

2. Many easy and difficult assembling ways are provided by the present invention for users of different ages.
