Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 520 words
A perception game apparatus, comprising, a game board, the game board having an outer periphery, with an outer path of outer path spaces directed continuously about the game board adjacent the outer periphery, and an inner path of spaces positioned coextensively with the outer path of spaces adjacent to the outer path of spaces, and the outer spaces having a start space, wherein each of the outer path of spaces to exclude the start space are blank, with each of the outer path of spaces positioned in adjacency relative to one of the inner path of spaces, and the inner path of spaces to include a plurality of spin spaces in cooperation with a spinner assembly, and the game board having a central board space, with the spinner assembly mounted on the central board space, the spinner assembly including a conical shaped support having a first apex forming the top of said support and a larger circular shaped base forming the bottom of said support with the first apex having a first apex recess of a conical configuration, a conical shaped spinner board having a second apex with the second apex having a second apex recess of a conical configuration, said conical spinner board including an array of pie shaped segment indicia of various digital enumerations and of a plurality of colors mounted on the outer surface of said conical shaped spinner board, and a V-shaped pointer member including cylindrical handle mounted at the apex of the V-shaped pointer member, the V-shaped pointer member being shaped to correspond to said conical shaped spinner board and said pointer member including a projection mounted on its apex and shaped to be received within the second recess wherein the V-shaped pointer member lies parallel to the surface of the conical shaped spinner board, the conical shaped spinner board being shaped to correspond to the surface of said conical support and said conical shaped spinner board having a projection from said second apex recess received within the first recess wherein the surface of said conical shaped spinner board concentrically covers and lies parallel to the surface of said conical shaped support permitting free rotation simultaneously of the conical shaped spinner board relative to conical shaped base support and free rotation of the V-shaped pointer member relative to the conical shaped spinner board, wherein a player of a plurality of players pre-selects selectively a predetermined number, an even or odd number to be directed by the spinner assembly, and a predetermined coloration, the inner path includes a plurality of containers, with each of the containers including a single deck of cards of a plurality of decks of cards, wherein landing upon an outer space of said outer path of spaces in adjacency to one of said containers directs a player to predict a card selected from said container, and said decks of cards include a first deck of coloration cards, a deck of shape cards, a deck of temperature cards, a deck of pet cards, a deck of pie cards, a deck of number cards, a deck of animal cards, and a deck eye cards.

Dependent Claim 520 words
A perception game apparatus, comprising, a game board, the game board having an outer periphery, with an outer path of outer path spaces directed continuously about the game board adjacent the outer periphery, and an inner path of spaces positioned coextensively with the outer path of spaces adjacent to the outer path of spaces, and the outer spaces having a start space, wherein each of the outer path of spaces to exclude the start space are blank, with each of the outer path of spaces positioned in adjacency relative to one of the inner path of spaces, and the inner path of spaces to include a plurality of spin spaces in cooperation with a spinner assembly, and the game board having a central board space, with the spinner assembly mounted on the central board space, the spinner assembly including a conical shaped support having a first apex forming the top of said support and a larger circular shaped base forming the bottom of said support with the first apex having a first apex recess of a conical configuration, a conical shaped spinner board having a second apex with the second apex having a second apex recess of a conical configuration, said conical spinner board including an array of pie shaped segment indicia of various digital enumerations and of a plurality of colors mounted on the outer surface of said conical shaped spinner board, and a V-shaped pointer member including cylindrical handle mounted at the apex of the V-shaped pointer member, the V-shaped pointer member being shaped to correspond to said conical shaped spinner board and said pointer member including a projection mounted on its apex and shaped to be received within the second recess wherein the V-shaped pointer member lies parallel to the surface of the conical shaped spinner board, the conical shaped spinner board being shaped to correspond to the surface of said conical support and said conical shaped spinner board having a projection from said second apex recess received within the first recess wherein the surface of said conical shaped spinner board concentrically covers and lies parallel to the surface of said conical shaped support permitting free rotation simultaneously of the conical shaped spinner board relative to conical shaped base support and free rotation of the V-shaped pointer member relative to the conical shaped spinner board, wherein a player of a plurality of players pre-selects selectively a predetermined number, an even or odd number to be directed by the spinner assembly, and a predetermined coloration, the inner path includes a plurality of containers, with each of the containers including a single deck of cards of a plurality of decks of cards, wherein landing upon an outer space of said outer path of spaces in adjacency to one of said containers directs a player to predict a card selected from said container, and said decks of cards include a first deck of coloration cards, a deck of shape cards, a deck of temperature cards, a deck of pet cards, a deck of pie cards, a deck of number cards, a deck of animal cards, and a deck eye cards.
