The device according to the innovation is characterized by that the playing surface is designed as a support mat and provided with individual fields of the same surface texture is.

The surface quality is important because, depending on whether feet or hands are supported on these individual fields, a certain support always has to be given to the body parts to be supported.

Another feature is that the individual fields consist of individual mats.

With this design, the individual mats can already be provided with a different surface finish.

It is also possible for the individual fields to have a different surface finish due to printing.

With this measure, too, one can achieve different surface finishes achieved.

It is also essential that the individual fields are the same have a geometric shape like the fields of the random device.

This random device determines the course of the game. Since this is a top that is in different Distance from the end of the game, it is important that this random device is recognized at a greater distance can be, or can be compared with the assigned individual fields.

The playing field, which can be used inside or outside, therefore consists of a battlefield of, for example square, rectangular or other shape that has a number of squares or individual fields that preferably but not necessary "are arranged in parallel columns. Within the columns, the seats can in turn be arranged in parallel rows equidistant from one another. Have the seats of the individual columns the same surface finish as the fields of the random device.

The random device is expediently formed by a circular disk with angular subdivisions and a display device.

With reference to the drawings representing an embodiment of the represent innovation according to the device for the game and its way of playing, are further features and advantages of The innovation is explained below.

Figure 1 shows a plan view of one shape of the playing field; Figure 2 is a top plan view of one form of the randomizer for

the game rules; and
Figure 3 is a perspective view of a pair of opponents playing the game.

In the drawings, a shape of the playing surface or the playing field is shown at 10, which is in the house or in front of the house on the floor A is laid, includes a square or rectangular battlefield as shown, or another, practical geometric Form can exist and is surrounded by a continuous, outer boundary line 14, the battlefield 12 in a number is subdivided at the same distance from columns running parallel to one another, fier places have a distance from one another, wherein

the columns from one end IG to the opposite one End 18 of the battlefield run, generally with the reference numbers 22, 24, 26 and 28 and in the present example comprise four such columns. The places or Individual fields of each column are identified by reference numbers 32 for the places in column 22, reference number 34 for the places in column 24, Reference numerals 36 for the places of the column 26 and reference numerals for the places of the column 28, which are shown in FIG For example, there are six such places in each column and the places in the various columns in parallel Rows are equally spaced from each other.

Although four columns and six rows are shown of seats should be emphasized that ¹ "geeigente any number may be used for columns and rows without having to deviate from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

The places in one column are used to distinguish them from the places in the other columns by different surface properties e.g. codified with color or similar means. The places of the different columns are e.g. through Colors have been codified; here are the places 32 of the column

The playing field can be on the ground or another Surface be applied or it can be on a suitable sheet of material, which lengthwise on a suitable, load-bearing surface is spread out. The spots can be marked on it in any suitable way e.g. through an appropriately selected surface finish which at the same time increases the stability target.

While the places of each column in the exemplary embodiment have the same surface properties, the surfaces can the places in a column can also be changed. The places 32 of the column 22 can be, for example, red, green, blue, etc., where each color can be assigned the same surface texture.

While the places in the example are shown as relatively large circles, they can also be smaller or larger represent geometric figures of any practical size or shape. Even better, small dots can be used.

Fig. 2 is an illustration of one form of game-determining device or a random device, which is generated by the display of the The movements to be made make the game easier for the players, as described below.

In the exemplary embodiment, the random device has the shape of a gyro disk 30 with a pointer or a needle 33, which by means of a wire pin 35 rotatably and centrally attached thereto, the needle being designed so that it has a the surface of the gyro disk drawn ring-shaped dial 37 is swept over.

The surface of the gyro disc is marked by the Dividing lines 46 and 47 divided into four equally large square areas 39, 40, 42 and 44, each of which has information 48, 50, 52 or 54 and which in each case record a special section of the human body and the associated legend. The indication or the note 48 e.g. contains the representation of a left foot and the legend "left foot", note 50 represents a right hand and contains the legend "right hand"; note 52 contains the illustration of a right foot and the legend "right foot" and the reference 54 consists of the representation of a blinking hand and the legend "left hand".

Within each area 39, 40, 42 and 44 is the annular Dial 37 divided into segments 60 of equal size, the number of which corresponds to the number provided on the playing field 10 Corresponds to columns of seats.

Since there are four columns of seats in the exemplary embodiment, the ring-shaped dial is within surfaces 39, 40, 42 and divided into four segments 60, the four segments in each of the areas being labeled with the code of the Places of each column match. Therefore, in Fig. 2, each of the four surfaces 39, 40, 42 and 44 is the gyro disk provided with four segments 60, each of which bears one of the colors red, blue, yellow and green.

Suppose the needle or the pointer 33 of the gyro disk has been rotated and stops in any position such as e.g. in the one in Fig. 2, then the command "right feet - red" is determined. That means the referee would interpret the command in such a way that each player places his right foot on one of the seats 32 of the column 22 of the playing field Io - or if the places of the columns are painted in any way you want on any place of the named color - would have to put.
