Abstract:

A game includes display strips and a game processor. The game can be played by applying display strips to players. The display strips include a plurality of lights for displaying game information. Players can input information to the game processor, and the game processor can provide output signals to the display strips to enable the strips to display the game information. The game processor can be a hand-held microprocessor capable of executing stored game instructions. The game information can be conveyed in the form of illumination patterns, text, characters, and other images. The display strips can be used in conjunction with another display, which can display detailed or high resolution game information. The visual impact of the game is enhanced because of game information conveyed by the display strips mounted on the players. A method of making a display strip allows for a custom cover to be created by printing a pattern on label stock, and securing the label stock to electronic component stock including an array of lights.
