GAME IN WORDS

The utility model relates to the field of production of cultural goods, in particular, to board logical games with the formation of players words.

Known word game described in US patent No. 4892319, IPC A63F3 / 00. The playing area of this game contains a matrix with square sections for letters. In the squares, gaming chips with various letters of the alphabet can be placed. Players take turns adding letters to existing words to create new words. However, this game limits the ability of players to use only those letters that are on unused chips, which reduces the fun of the game.

Known spinning device used in a dictionary game (US patent No. 4911448, IPC A63F5 / 04). The device contains a support and a rotating disk, on one surface of which letters are written. An indicator protruding above a portion of the disk is attached to the support. After the spinning disk stops, the indicator indicates one of the letters written on the disk. The use of this device in a vocabulary game avoids the use of a bulky set of chips with letters, but ensures that only letters printed on the disc fall out. This greatly limits the ability of players and reduces the fascination of the game, since if all the letters of the alphabet are applied, they will come across with equal probability, which does not correspond to their frequency of use in words. If recorded

IPC A63F3 / 02

only frequently occurring letters, the number of words that players can make will be significantly reduced.

Known word game described in US patent No. 498 9878, IPC A63F3 / 00. The game contains a board mounted on a stand, on which a solved rebus is shown. The board is divided into squares in which the leader writes the letters of the rebus. The game contains a pen for dry-erased inscriptions, an erase cloth and a spinning wheel, set to randomly select each participant for each round of the game. However, this game does not have high fascination, as it does not contain game elements that move around the board and change the order of the letters.

A device for determining a random outcome in a game of chance, described in RF patent No. 2066223, IPC A63F5 / 04. This device comprises a game board consisting of a stationary part and a moving part located one above the other. The information on the board details determining the results of the game and the fixed positions of the moving part is applied. At the same time, the correspondence of setting the movable part in any fixed position to any game result is ensured. However, this device cannot be used in a word game, since there are no letter signs on the board, nor a place to write them.

The famous game-attraction "Field of Miracles by V.S. Proskurov (prototype), described in RF patent No.2019235, IPC A63F / 02. This game contains a playing field on which markings in the form of cells with symbols are applied, and a game element having symbols on one of its sides. In this case, the game element is made primarily in the form of a rolling body having

at least one axis of rotation, installed with the ability to move around the playing field, and on its opposite side or end also marked.

However, in the process of this game, a limited number of game situations (formed in the word game) are realized, which is determined by the marking of the symbols on the playing field with the symbols on the movable game element. This reduces the entertainingness of the game for novice players, as it reduces the likelihood of a novice winning compared to an experienced player, remembering from the previous games played many of the arising combinations. On the other hand, this drawback reduces the attractiveness of the game for experienced players, since they know most of the situations that arise in the game and quickly lose interest in it over time.

The proposed utility model provides an increase in the game’s amusement for beginner players (due to the alphabetization of their chances with experienced players) and the attractiveness of the game for experienced players, since they will not know in advance the possible combinations of the designation of symbols on the playing field and the movable game element.

As a claimed utility model, a word game is proposed that includes a game field on which the markings are applied in the form of cells, and a game element mounted to move around the game field, characterized in that a place has been allocated on the game element for marking by players.

All the features that distinguish a utility model from a prototype are sufficient in all cases to which the scope of legal protection applies.

Using the proposed model allows players, by agreement, to put their own designations in the space embedded on the game element. At the same time, the fun of the game for beginners increases, as their chances are equalized with experienced players. On the other hand, the attractiveness of the game for experienced players increases, since after applying new symbols to the game element, they will encounter new combinations of symbols on the playing field and game element during the game.

In a particular embodiment of the utility model, several interchangeable game elements may be provided. At the same time, players will have the opportunity to apply different groups of notations to different game elements and, thereby, even longer to increase the duration of interest in the game (for example, for two equal rivals of constant strength).

In a particular embodiment of the utility model, empty cells may be provided on the playing field for players to write letters. At the same time, the player’s playing abilities will increase even more, as the number of player moves options (writing an arbitrary letter in the cell) and the maximum number of combinations between the possible symbols on the playing field and the playing element will increase.

In a particular embodiment of the utility model, several fixed positions of the game can be determined by marking the playing field.

an element into which it can be placed by rotation around an axis of rotation that is stationary relative to the playing field. Due to this, the game kit can be made more compact, and the game process becomes more fun by increasing its dynamism.

In a particular embodiment of the utility model, it may be possible to attach the game element to the game field. The movement of the game element relative to the playing field is provided in this case only by rotations around the axis of rotation, fixed at the attachment point.

In a specific embodiment of the utility model, the surfaces of the playing field and the playing element can be made of material providing the ability to repeatedly record and erase letters on the field and symbols on the playing element. This provides an increase in the period of use of one set of the game, since after filling all the cells with letters and symbols, they can be erased, and the game is started again.

In a specific embodiment of the utility model, the marking of the game field can be made in the form of radially diverging lines that exit from the location of the game element at the same angle to each other and intersect them with closed curves, in particular circles or broken lines, and a place for drawing symbols on the game element is selected by cells repeating the shape of the cells of the playing field. In this case, the word-game set can be made even more compact by alternating the cells of the playing field in a circle, and not in a straight line as when using square cells.

In a specific form of the utility model, it can be supplemented with a coupon with a task, the coupon showing a playing field without a game element, and the task is set out with an indication of the prize promised to the player who will send the best answer. This increases the attractiveness of the word game alone, as an experienced player has the opportunity to complete the task and get the specified prize.

To confirm the feasibility of the claimed utility model, we consider a word game containing a game field 1 and a game element 2 shown in FIG. 1. On the playing field 1 marked 3 in the form of square cells. In this case, empty cells 4 may be provided for the players to write letters. By marking the playing field, a place 5 can be determined for the location of the game element during the game. Such marking defines four fixed positions of a square game element.

in which it can be set by turning 90 degrees relative to the axis of rotation located at point R.

There are four places 6 on the game element for marking players. By the rules of the game, players are given the opportunity to put into the cells 6 of the game element a pair of arrows, the tip of which is directed from the square vertically or horizontally. Examples of a game element after drawing arrows are shown in FIG. 2.3.

During the game, after drawing arrows, the players take turns taking the game element and set it to any of the four positions defined by the layout of the playing field. At the same time, in accordance with the rules of a particular game, they make up words and receive prize points.

Pa figure 4 shows the game element, which was shown in figure 2, mounted on the playing field 1. The player who put the game element in this position, it is proposed to compose a word containing the letters "M and" B, opposite the arrows, and adjacent to them. The more of these consecutive letters he uses, the more points he will receive. For example, a player makes the word “SAMBO and gets thirty points for using the letters“ M, B and the letter “O. adjacent to“ B ”.

The player also has the opportunity in the situation depicted in FIG. 4, make up the word “GINGER. Then he gets forty points for a group of letters “IMBI. If there are empty cells 4 on the playing field, then he has the opportunity to write the letters "P and" L in them and get an additional 20 points. Pa figure 5 presents the image of a word game after such a record.

After completing one game, players can put new symbols in the remaining empty cells of the game element (in a different color) and play again. If the game set contains several game elements, then subsequent games are held with new elements until all game elements are filled with symbols.

The greatest number of signs of dependent clauses of the utility model formula is implemented in the game “Twist-verti. In FIG. 6 shows the playing field 1 of this game. The marking of the playing field is made by radial lines 2 and closed curves 3 intersecting them, forming cells 4 for writing letters. The playing field is made of thick cardboard, on which you can repeatedly write letters in pencil and erase them with an elastic band. The playing field can also be made of plastic, while the letters are recorded with a special marker, and erasing is carried out using a special sponge or cloth. In figure 1, one of the five fixed places 5 is shaded, in which the game element can be placed. In the center of the playing field there is a hole 6 for attaching the axis of rotation of the game element. In FIG. 7 depicts the game element 7 itself, on which a space 8 is allocated for players to write a letter. The game element is also made of thick cardboard or plastic, which makes it possible to repeatedly record and erase letters on the game element. The place for writing the letters 8 repeats the shape of the cells 9 of the playing field. The game element has a hole 10 for attaching it to the game field. Such fastening can be carried out using a rivet clamping parts

games so that the game element could be rotated around its axis.

The game is offered to the players in the assembled form shown in FIG. 8, where 11 is the rivet axis that attaches the game element to the game field.

At the beginning of the game, two players, by agreement, put a letter on a game element. On Fig depicts a game with the letter “A. The player must first write down the letter next to the letter “A cell.” Writing the letter "P to the left of the letter" And he gets two points for the composed word "AR. The second player must write another letter in any cell so that the result is a word containing the letter recorded by the previous player. For example, he writes under the letter “A the letter“ B and gets three points for the word “SLAVE. During the game, the game element can be placed in any of five fixed positions defined by the layout of the playing field. So, the letter “A on the game element can be placed above the letter“ R. Then, having written in the cage of the game po, which was earlier under the letter “A letter” U, we get the word “BURA.

After all the cells of the playing field are filled, the game ends and the players calculate the amount of points earned and determine the winner. Further, all the letters on the game can be erased, and the game can be repeated an arbitrary number of times.

The game “Twist-verti can be supplemented with a coupon with a task. On the coupon can be shown a playing field without a game element (Fig.9). The assignment proposes to place twenty letters in the cells so that twenty words are concatenated according to the rules of the game. The player who sent the answer to the task with the largest number of tasks.
