Abstract
An electronic game (10) is provided with at least one, and preferably a plurality, of intelligent game pieces (14,14' ) which each contain a re-programamble memory device (30,70). The memory device (30,70) in each of the game pieces (14 and 14', respectively), stores characteristics of an activity to be simulated by the game (10). By re-programming the game pieces (14,14'), the characteristics of the activity simulated by the game (10) can be changed to make the activity more interesting and challenging.
