Magnetic game construction

Claim 1

A game construction comprising: a base having a plurality of at least partially transparent cages disposed thereon, said base and said cages being fabricated of nonmagnetic material, a magnet piece having a pair of visually distinguishable flat sides resting freely in each of said cages and being capable of moving sideways and of flipping over in any direction in said cage, a magnetic control device adapted to be selectively movable in proximity to said cages so as to magnetically communicate with said magnet pieces for orienting them in a desired pattern; said cages located on said base at predetermined distances from each other such that any one magnet piece will constantly exhibit and effectuate magnetic force relationships between other adjacently disposed magnet pieces, and be capable of disturbing the attitude of and causing an unstable and unpredictable condition of said other magnet pieces, upon any movement in any direction of any one of said magnet pieces by said magnet control device; and said magnet pieces exhibiting varying magnetic lines of force in a constantly changing plurality of directions as said magnets vary in distance from each other in a side by side relationship and as said magnets vary in attitude towards each other as they lift off said base and are turned or flipped over, whereby any array previously achieved with said magnet pieces may be subjected to an uncontrolled reaction and reorientation depending upon the skill in which said control device is manipulated among said cages.
