Individual game modules unified into a composite TV word game with optional variations, including word/letter threads and auctions for web, APP,

摘要

Novel games, aka, “Wordsmith Wars™”, playable by one or more participants are disclosed comprising individual game modules that have assigned value accruing to the module-winning player(s), as a unique “game platform.” Modules are selected preferably by a chance or random indicator mechanism, such as a chance wheel, cards, dice, spinning globe with indicia, balls that roll into indented platforms out of cages, tubes or boards with indicia, as in Bingo game apparatuses, et al. These modules are collectively arranged or sequenced into game segments before or during the game play with a predetermined content and duration. The modules are thusly unified into a unique, composite, single “Wordsmith Wars™” game, which further may have a common theme(s) associated within the game content modules. As well, letter(s) or word(s), and/or their correct word or phrase positions, in addition to points or money won, may also be won throughout play. These word and/or letter “threads,” which are strings or a series of letters or words, may be collected by the contestants or competitors, then strategically used to advantage in a climactic final round or closing game module that may also include a strategic letter and/or word bidding process. The game may be adapted into a typical physical stage TV show or any electronic formats that involve players watching or participating in the game through use of any of the broadcast mediums in which persons watch or play games. A board game is also a preferred embodiment of the invention. Television game shows, including interactive TV, and in other interactive communication media, such as over the internet or other communications networks such as desktop and computer pad format, smart phones and many other “connected” devices, such as having an “app” for home audiences to play along during live broadcasts, all part of what is commonly being called the “Cloud” and “Internet of Things” or IoT are potential mediums for formats that may support and distribute the game.
