Description

 The group of inventions relates to collective games in which game cards are used, and game cards with a masking (light-proof) layer that is removed (cleared or erased) during the game.

 The famous game "Queen Victoria" [2] using cards with a masking layer, the playing field of which contains two rows of cells with numbers printed on them. The game consists in removing some masking date from the visualized characters of a significant date in the life of the royal family.

 A well-known puzzle game [3], in which game cards with a masking layer and a game field consisting of 33 cells (3x11) are used, in which the letters and words "stop" and "bonus" are printed in random order. The meaning of the game is to, by removing the masking layer from arbitrary cells, guess the set of words printed on the card coupon. Such games have quite strict rules and therefore quickly get bored.

 One of the closest analogues is the method of playing a game using game cards and a game card for its implementation [4]. The method consists in the fact that at first the game participants acquire game cards with a game field located on its one side and consisting of a set of cells with game symbols applied to them, which are covered by a masking layer with the possibility of its removal and have a known priority of one game symbol over another and then game symbols are visualized by removing the masking layer above an arbitrarily selected cell of the game card to establish winning cards. The game card used in the method, as can be seen from the description of the method, contains a game field located on its one side and consisting of a set of cells with game symbols applied to them, covered by a masking layer with the possibility of its removal and having a known priority of one game symbol over another.

 The main objective of the invention is the creation of such a method of playing a game that by increasing the entertainingness of the game will attract a larger number of participants. Another equally important task is the creation of game cards with a certain cognitive load, which facilitates the assimilation of various information from various fields of human activity during the game, while these cards will contribute to a more complete assimilation of educational programs.

 The essence of the proposed method of conducting the game is that the participants of the game, concurrently (in time and space) or simultaneously by removing the masking layer above an arbitrarily selected cell, visualize the game symbols on these cells of their cards to compare them with each other in order to establish the winning card. Holders of winning cards accumulate losing cards and form thematic sets of symbols located on the back of the cards to determine the winner of the game. Game cards are made in such a way that the number of game symbols in the cells of the game field is at least one less than the number of cells in the game field, while one of the symbols included in a given thematic set is applied to the other side of the game card in the form of an image or part thereof. The number of game symbols in the cells of the playing field is at least one less than the number of cells in the playing field, and at least one cell called a prize has information about prizes.

 Thanks to the foregoing, the game becomes collective. The number of participants playing at the same time can reach the number of used game symbols on the playing field of the card.

 The game is carried out in several stages, the first of which is based on the coordinated visualization by the participants of the game on their cards of game symbols and determining the winner by comparing the priorities of the visualized game symbols on the cards of the participants of the game and identifying the cards with the highest priority. There are as many of these game sessions as there are game cells on the playing field of cards. The second stage of the game is based on the collection (accumulation) of losing cards with a single symbol on the reverse side in order to equip a given thematic set of symbols for presentation to the organizer of the game in order to announce the winner, namely: the participants of the game visualize the prize cell on one randomly selected from their Themed set of game card.

 In FIG. 1 shows the playing field of cards for the game with the code name "auto" with the masking layer removed from part of the cells; in FIG. 2 - the other (reverse) side of one of the cards for playing "cars" with a symbol in the form of an image of a sports car included in the thematic set "Sports Cars"; in FIG. 3 - section cards for playing in the "car" along the axis AA; in FIG. 4 - a playing field of cards with four cells, one of which does not contain a game symbol; in FIG. 5 - variants of game symbols for use in cards having four or more cells: “cat” - “mouse”, “water” - “fire”, 2 scissors “- stone”; Fig. 6 - playing field of cards with five cells , one of which does not contain a game symbol; in Fig. 7 - options for game symbols for use in cards with five or more cells: "mouse" - "cat" - "dog", "tree" - "fire" - " water "," scissors "-" paper "-" stone "; in Fig. 8 - the playing field of one of the cards without a masking layer with 40 cells, in 36 of which 36 game symbols are randomly distributed (h is weak), and four do not contain game symbols; in Fig. 9 - the back of one of the game cards with a symbol in the form of a mythical animal from the set "Myths of the Nations of the World"; in Fig. 10 - the back of one of the game cards with a symbol in the form road sign "No traffic" from the set of "Prohibition signs" of the Rules of the road, in Fig. 11 - the back of one of the game cards with a symbol in the form of a tree (linden) from the set of "Deciduous trees", in Fig. 12 - the front and back sides of one of the cards for the game ("scissors", "paper", "stone"); in FIG. 13 - playing fields of cards of participants A and B of the game “scissors” - “paper” - “stone” in the initial state (O) and after the first session of the game (1); in FIG. 14 - playing fields of cards of participants A and B after the second (2) and third (3) sessions of the game "scissors" - "paper" - "stone"; in FIG. 15 - playing fields of cards of participants A and B after the eighth (8) session of the game "scissors" - "paper" - "stone" and the reverse sides of the same cards with symbols in the form of fragments of a contour map of the World; in FIG. 16 - a complete set of characters, consisting of 16 fragments of the "Contour map of the world."

 A method of playing a game using game cards is that game participants acquire game cards containing a game field located on one side of the game field and consisting of a set of cells with game symbols applied to them, covered by a masking layer with the possibility of its removal and having a known priority one game symbol in front of another, game symbols are visualized on their game cards by removing the masking layer above an arbitrarily selected cell to compare them with each other spruce establishing winners. The owner of the winning card (the owners of the winning cards) accumulates (accumulate) game cards won by other participants of the game, having on one side at least one, called a prize, a cell with information about prizes, and on the other side, one of the symbols included in a given thematic set, and forms (forms) a thematic set of symbols, after which it visualizes (visualizes) the prize cell on one game card arbitrarily selected from the thematic set.

 A game card for implementing the method described above comprises a game field on one side, consisting of a set of cells with game symbols deposited therein, covered by a masking layer with the possibility of its removal and having a known priority of one game symbol over another, and on the other side, applied in the form image or its part is one of the characters included in a given thematic set, while the number of game characters in the cells of the playing field is at least one less than the number of cells in the playing field, and at least at least one cell is called a prize and has information about prizes.

 FIG. 1, 2 and 3 demonstrate the general principle of the design of game cards, including the structure of their playing field on one side (Fig. 1) and the location of a single symbol on the other (back) side (Fig. 2), as well as a section of the cards along axis AA (Fig. 3). The playing field 11 of the card shown as an example in FIG. 1, contains nine cells, eight of which 10 are printed in random order four game symbols 13 (triangle, square, pentagon, circle) and one auxiliary 16, which can be used to expand the capabilities of the game. Symbols have a certain priority over each other, which is established by the rules of the game. To explain the layered structure of the cards, the masking layer 14 above the row of cells 10 has been removed. An additional cell 16 is included in the playing field, which is covered by a masking layer and has the inscription "do not wash." On the other (reverse) side 21 of the card a single symbol is shown in the form of a sports car 22, which is an integral part of the thematic set "Sports cars".

 As can be seen from the section of the card, (Fig. 3) it consists of a base 12, on one side of which there is a playing field 11 with game cells 10, and on the other a single symbol 17 in the form of an image. The base material of the cards can be thick paper, cardboard, plastic or other sheet material. The cells 10 of the playing field are made by an acceptable technological method, for example, by printing or embossing directly on the basis of cards. In the cells 10, game symbols 13 are randomly printed or otherwise applied. The game symbols are covered by a masking layer easily removable 14. For the latter, thin metal foil, black paper or easily removable paint can be used. Directly on the masking layer, the same ornament or figure 15 is applied for all game symbols. An inscription “do not wash” or another warning sign is printed over cell 16.

 A single character 17 on the back of the cards is printed or embossed directly on the basis of 12.

 The playing field of cards does not have a rigid structure. It may contain an arbitrary number of game cells. The maximum number of game characters used must not exceed the number of game cells.

 Below are examples of different options for game cards.

 In FIG. 4 shows the playing field of a card with four cells. In three game cells, two or three game symbols can be plotted in random order, having the priority of one over the other determined by the rules of the game. Character pairs are shown in FIG. 5: "cat" 51 - "mouse" 52; "water" 53 - "fire" 54; "scissors" 55 - "stone" 56.

 In FIG. 6 shows the playing field of cards with five cells. Randomly, two, three or four game symbols may be located in cells in random cells. Examples of triples of game symbols in the form: "mouse" 73 - "cat" 72 - "dog" 71; "tree" 76 - "fire" 75 - "water" 74; "scissors" 79 - "paper" 78 - "stone" 77 are shown in FIG. 7. Symbols such as "dog" 71 - "cat" 72 - "mouse" 73 and "water" 74 - "fire" 75 - "tree" 76 have a natural priority.

 In FIG. 8 shows an example of a playing field of cards with a large number of game cells. In this case, the playing field includes 40 cells 10, four 16 of which 16 can be used to expand the capabilities of the game. 36 game symbols are randomly located in 36 game cells in the form of natural numbers from 1 to 36. To show the random nature of the arrangement of characters in the cells, the mask layer above the cells has been removed. The cells of the playing field, in which there are no game characters 81, the game organizers can use, for example, to further complicate the game. In these cells absolute priorities can be located, for example, “plus” or “minus”, indicating the full priority of cards with a randomly visualized plus sign or the absence of any priority of cards with a visualized “minus”.

 The other (reverse) side of game cards with a symbol included as part of a given thematic set, the number and semantic orientation of which is established by the organizers or the rules of the game, represents the semantic basis for the development of the next stage of the game. The symbol on the back of the cards begins to participate in the game when the game participants complete the visualization of the symbols on the playing field on the front side of the cards. Examples of symbols on the back of the cards are presented in the form of images: "Pegasus" from the set "Myths of Ancient Greece" (Fig. 9); traffic sign "No traffic" from the set of prohibition signs of the Rules of the road (Fig. 10); "Linden" from the set "Deciduous trees" (Fig. 11). The symbol on the back of the cards begins to participate in the game when the game participants finish using the playing field on the front of the cards. As thematic sets, mosaic pictures, character sets united by certain logical rules, etc. can be used.

 The method of playing a game using game cards, in particular such game cards, which has been described above, is generally carried out by several participants who consistently (for example, simultaneously) remove the mask layer over an arbitrarily selected cell of their card, and thus render a random game symbol. After comparing the visualized game symbols by priority, the game participants set the winning cards and accumulate the losing cards. Two or more people can take part in the game, and the number of game sessions cannot exceed the number of game cells on the playing field. The winner of the game gradually accumulates cards won from other participants in order to collect the set of single symbols set on the back of the game cards set by the rules of the game. After a participant in the game has a complete thematic set of single characters in his hands, he presents it to the organizers of the game to announce the winner. The participant (participants) of the game visualizes (visualizes) the prize cell on one game card randomly selected from a thematic set.

 For a more detailed presentation of the game using the above game cards, consider a specific example of such a game. Take, for example, the famous scissors-paper-stone children's game. The object on which the actions are performed are game cards, the front and back sides of which are shown in FIG. 12. The front side of the cards contains a playing field consisting of nine cells, one of which can be used to expand the capabilities of the game. This box is labeled with a “do not wash” warning. Game symbols are “scissors”, “paper”, “stone”. The priority is built around the circular principle of “scissors” over “paper”, “paper” over “stone”, and “stone” over “scissors”. The symbol on the back of the game cards is an image of one of the 16 fragments of the World contour map, with the help of which, and another 15 other fragments, you can create a complete contour map of the World. The participants in the game A and B acquire cards and play among themselves, consistently removing the masking layer above an arbitrary cell of their card. In FIG. 13 shows an example of the implementation of this action. The process of acting on the object (game card) of participant A is shown on the left, and the same process on the card of participant B is shown on the right. First, both cards shown in the top row (O) have the same state, that is, all cells of the playing field are covered with a protective layer. In the first session of the game, participant A removed the masking layer from the first cell and visualized the paper symbol, while participant B removed the masking layer from the sixth cell and visualized the stone symbol. This situation is shown in FIG. 13 in the bottom row 1. Since the “paper” wins the “stone”, participant A. won in this session. Further, everything depends on the rules of the game or the agreement between partners.

 In the case when the partners agreed to play all sessions of the game, that is, remove the masking layer from all game cells, the game continues, and the next move is made, which consists in visualizing the next game symbol. This situation is shown in FIG. 14 in the top row 2. Participant A visualized the game symbol “scissors” by removing the masking layer from the seventh cell, and participant B visualized the “paper” symbol of the fourth cell. As the “scissors” beat the “paper,” participant A won again. In the third session, as After eight sessions of the game, the mask layer will be removed from all the game cells of the card. A view of the playing fields of the cards of the game participants A and B is shown in FIG. 15 from the top 8. After counting the number of winning sessions and identifying the winning card, its owner receives the losing card from his opponent, turning out to be the owner of two cards that have completely removed the masking layer from the game cells. These cards can be used in the next stage of the game. If during the game one of the participants renders a cell in which there is no image of the game symbol 81, this means that his card has lost, and it is transferred to another participant in the game. On the back of each card (see Fig. 15 bottom row) single characters are printed in the form of images of fragments of the contour map of the World. The goal of the next stage of the game is to collect all 16 cards from which you can make a complete World map, shown in FIG. 16. A participant in the game who has collected a full set of cards is considered the winner of the game. He presents a set of cards to the organizers of the game to announce the winner. Then, if it is agreed separately by the organizer of the game, the participant of the game visualizes the prize cell on one game card randomly selected from the thematic set.
