Abstract
Abstract A game board has an equilateral triangular configuration divided into a plurality of equal minor triangular areas formed by three groups of spaced parallel lines. Each group of lines is parallel to a corresponding side of the game board. Each of the minor triangles has three angle bisecting lines intersecting therewithin to form an inner pole. The apices of each minor triangle form three poles thereof representing x, y and z spatial coordinates and the inner pole represents the time coordinate whereby a viewer of the inner pole of a minor triangle sees a four coordinate system symbolizing the game apparatus. A plurality of groups of flat triangular plates are provided. Each group of plates comprises a plurality of colored plates for use by a player to identify a PLAYER SUBJECT and to design on the game board the PLAYER SUBJECT'S characteristics plus TIME.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
Game apparatus, comprising a game board having an equilateral triangular configuration divided into sixteen equal equilateral minor triangular areas formed by three groups of spaced parallel lines, each group of lines being parallel to a corresponding side of the game board, each of the minor triangles having three angle bisecting lines intersecting therewithin to form an inner pole, the apices of each minor triangle forming three poles thereof representing x, y and z spatial coordinates and the inner pole representing the time coordinate whereby a viewer of the inner pole of a minor triangle sees a four coordinate system symbolizing the game apparatus, said game board having a peak minor triangle marked TIME, and the other minor triangles of the game board in descending order from left to right being respectively marked BIOTIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL, ANALYTICAL, MOTIONAL, PHYSICOCHEMICAL, LINGUISTIC, HISTORICAL, ETHICAL, NUMERICAL, SPATIAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIOLOGICAL, AESTHETIC, JURIDICAL and FAITH.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
Game apparatus, comprising a game board having an equilateral triangular configuration divided into sixteen equal equilateral minor triangular areas formed by three groups of spaced parallel lines, each group of lines being parallel to a corresponding side of the game board, each of the minor triangles having three angle bisecting lines intersecting therewithin to form an inner pole, the apices of each minor triangle forming three poles thereof representing x, y and z spatial coordinates and the inner pole representing the time coordinate whereby a viewer of the inner pole of a minor triangle sees a four coordinate system symbolizing the game apparatus, said game board having a peak minor triangle marked TIME, and the other minor triangles of the game board in descending order from left to right being respectively marked BIOTIC, PSYCHOLOGICAL, ANALYTICAL, MOTIONAL, PHYSICOCHEMICAL, LINGUISTIC, HISTORICAL, ETHICAL, NUMERICAL, SPATIAL, ECONOMIC, SOCIOLOGICAL, AESTHETIC, JURIDICAL and FAITH.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
79 words
Game apparatus as claimed in claim 1, further comprising a pair of sub-minor triangles extending from opposite ends of the base side of the peak minor triangle of the game board, each of the sub-minor triangles having base sides coplanar with that of the corresponding peak minor triangle, the sub-minor triangle on the left of the peak minor triangle being marked PLAYER SUBJECT and the sub-minor triangle on the right of the peak minor triangle being marked MY LIFE.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
51 words
Game apparatus as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a plurality of groups of substantially flat triangular plates, each group of plates comprising a plurality of colored plates for use by a player to identify a PLAYER SUBJECT and to design on the game board the PLAYER SUBJECT'S characteristics plus TIME.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
50 words
Game apparatus as claimed in claim 3, wherein each of the sub-minor triangles has three angle bisecting lines intersecting therewith to form an inner pole, the apices of each sub-minor triangle forming three poles thereof representing x, y and z spatial coordinates and the inner pole representing the time coordinate.
