推荐答案

据美国专利商标局，一个游戏规则不受版权保护。在游戏中的字符/图稿打印材料（例如印刷的规则列表）均受版权保护。

According to USPTO, the rules of a game can not be copyrighted. The characters/artwork printed material (for example a printed list of rules) in a game are subject to copyright.

这是合法的，使具有相同的规则相同的游戏，只要你不复制任何部分的设计和创意的组成部分。这就是词与朋友变得如此受欢迎，通过复制拼字游戏规则，和孩之宝（谁拥有拼字游戏）未能采取法律行动。

It's legal to make an identical game with identical rules as long as you don't copy any part of the design and creative components. This is how "Words with Friends" became so popular by copying the game rules of Scrabble, and Hasbro (who owns Scrabble) was not able to take legal action.
