Game system

The invention relates to a game system which can be used as a toy.

Description

The game system consists of a certain number of boxes that have different dimensions (height, length, width and circumference) and can therefore be put into one another. In this way, the smallest box fits into the slightly larger box. These two in turn fit into the next larger box, and so on. When all the boxes are put into one another, only the largest is visible, which "houses" all the others inside. All the boxes have a lid and, even when closed, fit into the larger box.

In the following, I will assume that the boxes are cylindrical. On the inside of the lid of the largest box there is a sheet of paper printed with information arranged in a spiral that contains the game instructions.

Inside, each box is lined with a loose strip on the outer surface that serves as an information carrier. The height of a strip corresponds to the height of the box in which it is located. In this way, this loose strip with information is always located between the inside of the larger box and the outside of the smaller box. The material of the strips can be any, preferably laminated paper to avoid tearing. The length of the strips is any; accordingly, the strips can be "wrapped" around the smaller box one or more times. The boxes have a flat top and a flat bottom. Instead of the described cylindrical initial shape of the boxes, there are other shapes, such as boxes with bases in the shape of a house, a triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon or octagon, in the shape of any figure, in the shape of an ellipse, an egg or boxes in the shape of a ball or cone. The materials of the boxes can be any, preferably cardboard.

The invention is explained in more detail below using the drawing of a box example in cylindrical shape:

Show it:

Figure arrangement 1:

nesting boxes with lids in cylinder shape (perspective view), where S 1 fits into S2, S (with S1) fits into S 3, S 3 (with S 1 and S 2) fits into S 4, S 4 (with S 1, S 2 and S 3) fits into S 5 and S 5 (with S 1, S 2, S 3 and S 4) fits into S 6

Claims (2)

1. Game system, consisting of a plurality of boxes which can be plugged into one another (because they become smaller in size), each provided with a lid, characterized in that the inside of each box has a loose strip on the outer surface which serves as an information carrier. The height of a strip corresponds to the height of the respective box in which it is located. 2. Game system characterized in that there is always a loose strip containing information between the inside of the larger box and the outside of the smaller box.
