Definitions

  • the invention relates to a board game apparatus and a method of playing a board game, with a game board with marked playing fields, at least one die, playing cards, playing tokens and paper banknotes.
  • Known board games i.e. board games of the MonopolyTM type, consist of a game board with playing fields marked on its periphery. Individual fields represent movable or immovable objects with price indications. These objects may be purchased during the game with stocks and/or money belonging to the game.
  • Known board games furthermore include playing tokens at the disposition of individual players, the movements of which are determined by the casting of one or more six- sided dies whose faces indicate the numbers from one to six or signs corresponding to values from one to six. The object of such games is to amass as much property and/or money as possible in accordance with predetermined rules; such games end when a given time limit is reached, when at least one player is forced out, etc.
  • Individual playing fields may comprise additional playing fields with various instructions to the player who may enter them during the game or with allocated cards with individual instructions for forward or backward movement of the token on the field. This resembles the arrangement of board games which simulate a sporting event, i.e. football, where the periphery playing fields are used for the forward movement of the players ' tokens determined by the casting die, with and the area between the periphery fields indicating sporting fields demarkating players' positions.
  • the periphery playing fields may also represent different types of penalties to the players, i.e. penalty shooting, etc.
  • question-and-answer cards are allocated to some of the periphery playing fields; the player who enters such fields then moves forward on the internal sporting fields by correcting answering questions printed on the cards and related to the theme of the game.
  • Individual types of known games focus only on one theme and are non-specific. Furthermore, the arrangement and amounts of their playing fields unclear recessitutes a relatively large board plan.
  • Another disadvantage inherent to these types of the games is the lack of visible distinction between individual playing fields on the periphery whose content relates to one another despite the fact that they may be marked, i.e. in the same color.
  • the purpose of this invention is to create board game designs enabling players to obtain and strengthen their knowledge of various themes and fields, or areas of life, i.e. human activities, sporting events, flora and fauna, the universe, etc. Another purpose is to allow players to increase their capital by using such knowledge. Another purpose is the creation of a game with different playing fields related to different themes, or areas of life. Another purpose is to permit a reduction in the size of the game board compared to games with the same amount of playing fields. It is a further purpose of this invention to create a simple, entertaining and educational method for playing the said board game.
  • the board game related to this invention consists of a game board with a board plan with periphery playing fields, which relate to one another and include periphery fields, corner fields and fields of chance, and with internal fields arranged on the area between periphery playing fields, playing tokens for each player, die for movement of individual tokens on playing fields, negotiable cards with indicated face value and text of the theme, cards of chance with questions and answers on at least one theme, and paper banknotes with indicated face values.
  • the periphery playing fields and internal fields are linked together by paths; playing fields linked by paths are devided into groups of three fields of the same color.
  • the internal fields have the advantage of a circular arrangement.
  • One of the playing tokens is the central token representing the general theme of the game.
  • Negotiable cards are marked on their faces with a color strip indicating the name of the field, the face value of the card and the amount of payment required of other players who enter the field of the card holder; the reverse of the card contains information on the theme used as the basis for questions and answers on the cards of chance.
  • the cards of chance contain questions and answers on the given themes. One part of the questions corresponds to the general theme indicated on the board or package of the game, the second part corresponds to the information on the negotiable cards. Furthermore, the cards of chance contain game instructions.
  • the game board is folding and thereby forms the package of the box for storage of the other game pieces; on the reverse it has the board plan and rules of the game, on the face it has a graphic illustration with information about the theme of the game and text related to the theme which form the basis for questions and answers on one group of the cards of chance.
  • the invention further provides for a method of playing the board game with a game board with board plan including periphery playing fields linked to one another and comprising periphery playing fields, corner fields and fields of chance, and internal fields, arranged on the area between periphery playing fields, playing tokens for each player, the die for the movement of individual tokens on playing fields, negotiable cards with the indication of face value and text of the theme, cards of chance with questions and answers to one or more themes, and paper banknotes with the indication of face values comprising

  • Corner fields 4 always include one start field; the other corner fields 4 may be used as bonus fields, free round fields, fields indicating receipt of a card of a specific player from the teams involved in the game may also be used as fields of chance, etc.
  • internal fields 5 are internal fields 5, also marked with a color strip, face values and respective pictures or logos depicting the theme, i.e. firm, sports club, plant, animal, etc. Individual themes of playing fields 2 and internal fields 5 may differ.

Internal fields 5 have a circular arrangement and are related by linking paths 11 (marked with arrows) with playing fields 2. One internal field 5 is always linked to two playing fields 2 marked in the same color, by linking path 11 which leads from the prior playing field 2 to internal field 5 and then to the next playing field 2. In the given case board plan 1 depicts sixteen groups of three playing fields of the same color.
