Description

The invention relates to board games and can be used as a means of intellectual development for children and adults.

The invention is aimed at training memory, developing combinational vision, tactical and strategic thinking, the ability to concentrate on several tasks at the same time, improves intuitive-figurative thinking and psychoanalysis skills.

Board games on boards are known, containing as mandatory components a limited playing field in the form of a square, a set of chips in two contrasting colors and game elements bearing various designations in the form of a special shape, color or special marks. Each of these games is to achieve the final result by moving game elements around the playing field according to certain rules. The game "CHESS" is known, which is a board game with special pieces (according to certain rules) on a 64-cell board (32 white cells, 32 black) for two partners. The game involves 8 pieces on each side (king, queen, two rooks, two bishops and a knight) and 8 pawns (Great Soviet Encyclopedia, https://bigenc.ru/sport/text/4691398). The disadvantage of the game is that the pieces are installed on the playing field in such a way that they can move from their positions when the game board is moved or when moving around the playing field during the game, as well as the absence of separate structural elements for storing chips, which does not provide convenience and reliability. in the operation and storage of the game.

A board game is known that contains a body, a hexagonal playing field with holes for placing balls and a means for moving them. The holes on the field are placed in rows, so that the adjacent holes surrounding each hole are spaced from it at the same distance, and the ball moving means is made in the form of a plate with a handle and has a central hole for interacting with one of the balls and holes with a diameter larger than the ball diameter, located in accordance with the placement of the adjacent holes of the playing field surrounding each hole (USSR author's certificate No. 1140809 for the invention "Game with balls", publ. 23.02.1985, IPC A63F 7/04). The disadvantage of the known game is low entertainment and monotony, as well as the need for additional accessories to store game elements.

Known closest to the set of essential features and selected as a prototype board game containing a body in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped, on the upper surface of which there is a playing field with playing cells in the form of grooves arranged parallel in a row to accommodate game elements and round holes with a diameter greater than the diameter spherical game elements; a set of spherical game elements and a means for moving spherical game elements, made in the form of a plate carrying a handle, having a central hole (USSR author's certificate No. 1202603 for the invention "Playing with balls" IPC A63F 7/04, publ. 01/07/1986). The lack of a device for storing game elements in the known game makes its use and storage inconvenient. In addition, the well-known game is also characterized by monotony and insufficiently high amusement.

The task to be solved by the claimed invention is the creation of an easy-to-use intellectual board game.

The technical result achieved as a result of solving the problem is to increase the entertainment, the board game, its compactness and ease of use.

These technical results are achieved by the fact that the board game contains a body in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and a set of spherical game elements. On the upper surface of the body there is a playing field with playing cells arranged parallel in a row in the form of recesses for accommodating game elements and a hole with a diameter greater than the diameter of spherical game elements. The housing is made hollow, the internal cavity of the housing is divided by a partition into two compartments I, II. The rear wall of the housing is made open. The hole on the upper surface of the case is located in the upper left corner of the playing field, above compartment II. In the front end wall of the housing there is an inlet to compartment I, and in the side walls of the housing there are outlets from compartment II. The diameter of the holes in the walls of the case, the height of the case and the width of compartment II exceed the diameter of the game elements. The inner partition of the housing is made with a length less than the length of the housing, and has a radius rounding in the rear part of the housing. A radius-rounded guide for the exit of the game element from section II is installed inside the body. The housing contains supporting elements, the height of which at the front end of the housing exceeds the height of the supporting elements at the rear end of the housing.

Preferably, the radius of the septum matches the radius of the guide.

Preferably, ceramic balls are used as game elements.

Preferably, the game contains twenty-eight game cells arranged in parallel in four rows, seven cells in each row.

Preferably, the board game contains thirty-three game elements.

Preferably, the game elements include eleven black balls, eleven white balls, eight red balls and three yellow balls.

Preferably, the playing field contains two shaped slots on the upper surface of the body,

Preferably, the first figurative slot has an S-shape and is located above the 9th game element in compartment II, and the second figurative slot is made in the form of a slot with a round hole and is located above the 5th game element in compartment II.

Preferably, the height of the front housing supports is 10±1 mm and the height of the rear housing supports is 5±1 mm.

A comparative analysis of the claimed invention with the prototype showed that in all cases of execution it differs from the known, closest technical solution:

- making the body hollow;

- the execution of the internal cavity of the body, divided by a partition into two compartments I, II;

- making the rear wall of the case open;

- making a hole on the upper surface of the body, located in the upper left corner of the playing field, above compartment II;

- the presence in the front end wall of the body of the inlet to compartment I;

- the presence in the side walls of the body of outlets from compartment II;

- execution of the diameter of the holes in the walls of the housing, the height of the housing and the width of the compartment II, exceeding the diameter of the playing elements;

- the implementation of the internal partition of the body with a length less than the length of the body;

- the presence of a radius rounding in the inner partition in the rear part of the body;

- the presence of a radius-rounded guide for the exit of the game element from compartment II;

- the presence of supporting elements of the body;

- making the height of the support elements at the front end of the body greater than the height of the support elements at the rear end of the body.

In some cases, the claimed invention differs from the known, closest technical solution:

- performing a radius curvature of the guide corresponding to the radius curvature of the septum;

- use of ceramic balls as game elements;

the presence of twenty-eight game cells arranged in parallel in four rows, seven cells in each row;

- the presence of thirty-three game elements;

- performance of game elements, including eleven black balls, eleven white balls, eight red balls and three yellow balls;

- the implementation of the playing field containing two curly slots on the upper surface of the body,

- the implementation of the first figured slot, having an S-shape and located above the 9th game element in compartment II.

- the implementation of the second figured slot in the form of a slot with a round hole and located above the 5th game element in compartment II.

- execution of the height of the front support elements of the body, constituting 10 ± 1 mm, and the height of the rear support elements of the body, constituting 5 ± 1 mm.

Making the case hollow, having an inlet in the front end wall of the case, making the height of the case and the diameter of the inlet exceeding the diameter of the game elements, increases the compactness of the board game and ease of use, providing the possibility of storing the game elements inside the case. The presence of an internal partition allows you to allocate space for a special compartment II; placement of a hole on the upper surface of the body in the upper left corner of the playing field, above compartment II, the presence of outlet holes from compartment II, making the diameter of the outlet holes and the width of compartment II greater than the diameter of the game elements, provides the possibility of temporary placement of game elements and their removal as needed during the game. The implementation of the rear wall of the housing is open, the implementation of the internal partition of the housing with a length less than the length of the housing with a radius rounding, the presence of a radius-rounded guide for the exit of the game element from compartment II, the presence of different-height supporting elements of the housing, provides the possibility of independent movement of the game elements from the front end of compartment II to the rear open part of the internal space of the case and the removal by the player of the game element at the right time, while keeping its color secret from the enemy. All this adds to the fun of the game.

The use of ceramic balls as game elements, the presence of twenty-eight game cells arranged in parallel in four rows, seven cells in each row; the presence of thirty-three game elements; by performing game elements, including eleven black balls, eleven white balls, eight red balls and three yellow balls, they also increase the fun of the game, train memory, combinational vision, and develop the ability to concentrate on several tasks at the same time. The execution of the playing field, containing two figured slots on the upper surface of the body, shows the color and number of chips in compartment II, providing players with information for taking subsequent tactical actions.

The implementation of the height of the front supporting elements of the body, constituting 10 ± 1 mm, and the height of the rear supporting elements of the body, constituting 5 ± 1 mm, is the most optimal.

The invention is illustrated in the schematic drawings shown in Figs. 1-3.

In FIG. 2 is a schematic drawing of the body of the board game, section B-B in FIG. one.

In FIG. 3 is a schematic drawing of a board game case, view A in FIG. one.

In the preferred embodiment, the board game includes a body 1 in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped and a set of spherical game elements 14, preferably ceramic balls. On the upper surface of the body 1 there is a playing field 2 with playing cells 3 arranged parallel in a row in the form of recesses for accommodating game elements and an opening 4 with a diameter larger than the diameter of spherical game elements. The body 1 is made hollow, the internal cavity of the body is divided by a partition 5 into two compartments: I, II. The rear wall of the housing 1 is made open. Hole 4 on the upper surface of the body 1 is located in the upper left corner of the playing field 2, above compartment II. In the front end wall of the housing 1 there is an inlet 6 into compartment I, and in the side walls of the housing 1 there are outlets 7, 8 from compartment II. The diameter of the holes 7, 8 in the walls of the housing 1 , the height h1 of the housing 1 and the width s of the compartment II exceed the diameter of the playing elements. The inner partition 5 of the body 1 is made with a length l less than the length L of the body 1, and has a radius R rounding in the rear part of the body 1. Inside the body 1 there is a radius R rounded guide 9 for the exit of the game element from compartment II. The radius R of the guide 9 corresponds to the radius R of the partition 5. The body 1 contains support elements 10, 11. The height of the support elements 10 at the front end of the body 1 exceeds the height of the support elements 11 at the rear end of the body 1. The number of game cells 3 is twenty-eight, they are arranged in parallel in four rows, seven cells in each row. The game contains thirty-three ceramic marbles, including: eleven black marbles, eleven white marbles, eight red marbles and eight yellow marbles. The playing field contains an S-shaped shaped slot 12, located above the 9th chip in compartment II, and a second shaped slot 13, made in the form of a slot with a round hole and located above the 5th chip in compartment II. The height of the front support elements 10 of the housing 1 is 10±1 mm, and the height of the rear support elements 11 of the housing 1 is 5±1 mm.

The invention works as follows.

The board game is played by two players. The game includes the following sequence of actions.

1) Players choose in any way who will play with what game elements - "chips" (which are ceramic balls): white or black. Black always makes the first move.

2) Next, each player is given chips: black, red, yellow balls - to player No. 1 and, respectively, white, red and yellow balls - to player No. 2.

3) After that, in random order, the remaining chips-balls are placed through hole 4 into compartment II. At the same time, a player can have no more than any three chips in his hand.

4) Players move in turn, starting from their own edge of the field.

5) On his turn, the player can move his ball on the field, in any direction to the adjacent cell 3 _i where i, from 1 to 28, including the diagonal and backward movement. It is impossible to step over opponent's chips. A move combined with an attack is considered in paragraph No. 6. Placing a new chip on the field is also a move. Dropping a chip into hole 4 can be done "incognito" without showing the opponent the color of the chip. Taking a chip from compartment II, if paragraph No. 4 is not violated. The chip is "taken" from the side of the open rear wall of the case 1 by moving the player's finger in his direction through the hole 7 or 8 of the case, while the opponent does not see the color of the received chip.

6) The “Attack” situation involves the use of one red chip (hereinafter referred to as the “tool”), the opponent’s chip located on the adjacent hole 3i is attacked, the attacking chip takes its place, after the attack the defeated chip and the “tool” are removed from the field, BUT one goes to department I, and the other is returned to department II. The “attacking” player is left with a choice: to return the defeated enemy chip or his “tool” to the game.

7) Situation "Long attack" - two red chips (guns) are used, the attack is applied through one hole 3 _i from the opponent, with the attacker's chip moving to the adjacent hole in the direction of attack. After the “Ranged Attack”, two pieces are removed to compartment I and one is returned to compartment II, at the choice of the “attacking” player.

8) The yellow piece is (an obstruction) and may be placed on field 2 in a free hole 3i next to any of its pieces. The obstacle CANNOT be moved, it can be removed by using a “tool” or by sacrificing a chip. After removing the obstacle, both pieces are removed to compartment I.

9) Situation "Capture" - a situation on the field, when the opponent's chip is surrounded by the enemy from four sides, or at the edge of the playing field from three sides, in this case, the yellow chip is also a natural obstacle, replacing the current opponent's chip. The chip from the "captivity" goes to compartment I.

10) The shaped slots 12, 13 of the playing field 2 show the 9th and, respectively, the 5th chip in compartment II, providing players with information for making subsequent decisions: move, attack, dropping the chip into compartment II, taking the chip from compartment II through holes 7 , eight.

11) The final game is played according to the number of chips remaining on the field, the player with the largest number wins. There is no draw in the game, due to the first move of black, white always has a half point handicap.

There are also two alternate endings in the game:

a) Capture more territory from the enemy, without missing a single opponent's chip in the rear.

b) Capture the opponent's flag, be the first to take the opponent's three starting holes.

The novelty of the board game lies in the combination in one case of the chip storage compartment (compartment I), the game “clip” (compartment II) and the playing field (2), in the original design for issuing chips from compartment II, which allows you to remove the chip, keeping it secret from opponent's color. The presence of support elements of different heights ensures the movement of game chips to the holes 7, 8 for issuing to the players due to the rolling (movement) of the chips under the influence of gravitational forces towards the exit.

The board game is characterized by a high degree of entertainment, developing not only logical thinking, but also intuitive and figurative. The game prevents the development of senile dementia and may reduce the likelihood of Alzheimer's disease.
