Abstract:
The present invention concerns a construction game to make buildings at a reduced scale providing the user with all the necessary elements in order to obtain a sample at real scale.

Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
   1. Field of the Invention 
   The present invention concerns the entertainment area. More particularly a game for kids and adults, and it is specifically in the group of puzzles to build game constructions. 
   2. Related Art of the Invention 
   The current games have one characteristic in common; they use many pieces to build, with different assembly ways that fit in the other compliment pieces. In this way you can build different models because the assembly is temporal not permanent. One good example of this game is the one called “Playgo”. In general all existing games do not use any kind of mortar to join the elements. 
   SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
   An objective of the present invention is to provide a game to make buildings at a reduced scale providing the user all the necessary elements in order to obtain a sample at real scale. 
   For this purpose the game includes; rocks for the foundation, bricks, tiles, cement, sand, plaster, paint, columns, beams, timbers, doors, windows and all kind of accessories and tools required to build buildings. All these items are prepared to an adequate scale, taking special care on the correct ergonomic matter for an adequate use. 
   The game also includes a plan and instructions for the construction and all the materials are in enough quantity according to the floor plan. 
   Since real mortar is used for joining the elements, the construction is permanent showing a real sample of buildings. 
   The construction materials are different as long as it is decided to have a particular set; bricks, rocks, tiles, columns, beams, joining elements, cement, plaster and sand for a urban residence; stones, cement, sand, timbers and tiles for a medieval castle; rocks, sand, timbers, joining elements, wood tiles and trunks for a country hut. Tools and accessories are also included according to the style of the building. 
   The game is not only featured with the construction plan, but also with the level of difficulty decided. The number of tools and accessories vary according to the level and scale chosen for a particular game and also for the number of players.
