A method and apparatus for assembling one or more coherent images from a
plurality of segments of the coherent image reproduced on parts, pieces,
blocks, cards, or the like is disclosed. In one embodiment of the present
invention, the face of each segment includes a portion of the resulting
single coherent image. When all segments are correctly arranged and
stacked, or overlapped, with the correct orientation, the visible images
on the faces of the segments mesh to form one or more larger coherent
images. A variety of plates or stands are disclosed to aid the player in
stacking the segments and arranging them with the proper orientation
during the reassembly process. Additionally, information or images may be
included on the portions of the faces of each segment that are obscured
by other segments when the segments are properly assembled, thereby
allowing such games to have multiple uses.
