Abstract
Apparatuses, systems and methods for game play having a base with a first planar conductive pattern of a plurality of conductive touch points and a programmable electronic device with a touch screen that registers contact with the conductive touch points and outputs location data for where the conductive touch points contact the touch screen surface are disclosed. An application in communication with the touch screen interprets the location data, identifies the base, and, depending on the identity of the base, juxtaposes one or more computer graphics and animations with the base to form a single manipulatable object having co-operable physical and virtual components. A physical object may be movably or spinnably coupled to the base.
