Description

Field of the invention

The present invention relates to the field of parlor games, particularly card games, which correspond to general aspects of conviviality and concentration.

Description of the prior art

Card games different from leisure entertainment are sufficiently known from the prior art. Already known in Europe in the 14th century, card games were not only used for relaxation and entertainment, but also require reason, control and imagination from the player, promote the ability to think, concentrate and develop a sense of numbers. Many of these card games are designed as educational games and should therefore have a learning and social effect when playing.

Usually, these games are played with at least one game of playing cards of usually 52 playing cards, such as. B. Skat cards, where four playing card colors (clubs, spades, diamonds and hearts) form the basis. Then there are the number cards to complete the playing card size of 52 playing cards.

In known card games such as blackjack, at least one player plays against an opponent. But other well-known card games such as rummy, bridge, canasta or Doppelkopf also require at least two or more players.

In most cases, however, a deck of cards consists of a set of 52 playing cards. German rummy is played with 2 x 52 cards and six jokers. The game was designed here for a maximum of six people.

The baccarat and blackjack card has bridge format and has extra large index marks with the English names K, Q and J for the pictures and is played with six packs of 52-sheet French playing cards (312 playing cards). This game has been developed for six to a maximum of seven players.

Another card game with more than 108 cards is Skip-Bo. This card game was derived from the traditional card games Spite and Malice. The players must put cards on the table in numerical order. The first player to discard all of his cards first wins the game. This is a fast-paced game that takes about 30 minutes and is suitable for 2 to 6 players, ages 7 and up. All games in themselves form a unit. In most cases they have a tournament card size of approx. (Height x width) 91 x 59mm. A standard symbol is usually shown on the back. The content (imprint) on the front contains the actual game.

Subject of the invention

The present invention is a card game ( 1 - The elements) and ( 2 - The animals), consisting of 120 cards, in which 2 or more people can participate at the same time.

• (8): Basis des Kartenspiels 48 Zahlenkarten (Pos. 13) bestehend aus vier Farben und den 12 Zahlenkarten (Pos. 14).

The accompanying drawing ( 1 - The elements) and ( 2 - The animals) shows the state of the invention in an exemplary embodiment where:

• ( 8th ): Basis of the card game 48 number cards ( Item 13 ) consisting of four colors and the 12 number cards ( Item 14 ).

In ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) the backs of the cards are visible. A distinction is made here between ( 1 ) the basic card game "The Elements" which you can use on the corner pictures ( Item 1a ) to ( Item 1d ) and the second basic card game of the module ( 2 ) "The animals" which you can also see in the corner pictures ( Item 2a ) to ( Item 2d ) can recognize. The logo or signet ( Item 1 and Item 2 ) are the same for "The Elements" and "The Animals". A deck of cards contains 16 element cards and 16 zodiac cards.

(Fig. 7): Special cards

• 8 Jokerkarten; 4 Klopferkarten; 4 Richtungswechselkarten;
• 8 Stopperkarten; 4 Wunschakrten und 4 Zieh-2-Karten

The ( Item 11 ) shows the pictorial symbols of the special cards, whereby in ( Item 12 ) the symbol card definition is described again in German and English:

• 8 wild cards; 4 knock cards; 4 direction change cards;
• 8 stopper cards; 4 wish cards and 4 draw 2 cards

The exemplary execution module consists of the cards "The elements" and "The animals" and contains number cards from one to twelve (item 13) and (item 14), element symbols ( Item 4 , 6th , 8th and 10 ) such as air, fire, water and earth as well as the associated animal symbols ( Item 3 , 5 , 7th and 9 ) Eagle, phoenix, fish and snake. There are also special cards ( 7th ) such as stopper, change, wish, knocking, joker and the draw 2 card ( Item 11 and Item 12 ).

The front of the playing card is shown in color on the corresponding background color. In our case the colors are: "Brown, red, blue and yellow" and the background color is white. To arrange the playing cards in hand is color ( Item 1e , 1f, 1g and 1h) in ( 1 ) and the symbol ( Item 1a , 1b , 1c and 1d ) and in ( 2 ) the color ( Item 2e , 2f , 2g and 2h ) and the symbol ( Item 2a , 2 B , 2c and 2d )clearly visible. The front of the cards contain the symbols on a background color ( Item 3 , 5 , 7th and 9 ) top left and bottom right in the map corner. You can position these symbols and the color in all four corners of the card instead of just two.

With a small number of players, only one deck of cards ( 1 ) such as "The Elements" or the other card game ( 2 ) "The Animals" played. Thus, each card game is autak in itself and can be played with 2 to 4 people.

If more than 4 people play together, then both card games "The Elements" and "The Animals" are mixed together and played with both cards and thus with "one" module (consisting of two single card games).

Description of the modularity

The invention relates to a card game with a number of playing cards which contain information. What is new and inventive in this card game is that the playing cards that make up different groups of cards each consist of a module ( 1 and 2 ) which consists of two single card games.

The two card games belong to a category / group and form a dependent module. In our example there are four "The Elements" with the associated four "The Animals", a self-dependent module.

It belongs to the symbol ( Item 4 ) Earth's counterpart snake ( Item 3 ), to water ( Item 6 ) the fish ( Item 5 ), to wind ( Item 10 ) the Eagle ( Item 9 ) and to fire ( Item 8 ) the phoenix ( Item 7 ). This results in a fixed game-stage instruction classified for this module, which is contained in the game rules card ( 9 ) and is included with the game with 8 (eight) rules cards.

The basis of the card game are the card numbers ( 8th ), which are shown in four different colors from the number 1 (one) to number 12 (twelve).

In addition to the basic maps, the special maps ( 7th ) very specific functions, which are illustrated and described in more detail below in an exemplary embodiment using the drawing.

• • Der Joker:
  • kann jede beliebige Karte und Farbe des Spiels ersetzen um ein Etappe zu vervollständigen oder Karten an bereits ausgelegten Etappe anzulegen. Bereits ausgelegte Joker können nicht durch eine passende Karte ersetzt werden. Der Joker besitzt die höchste Zahl „12“. Der Joker selbst kann keine andere Sonderkarte ersetzen.
• • Die Wunschkarte:
  • Ein Mitspieler kann sobald er an der Reihe ist diese Wunschkarte ausspielen, ohne zuvor eine andere Karte aufgenommen zu haben. Er legt diese Karte auf den Ablagestapel und
  • hat die Möglichkeit weitere, bis zu sechs Karten von seiner Hand auf die Wunschkarte bzw.
  • Ablagestapel aufzulegen. Danach kann er die abgelegte Kartenzahl (max. 7 Karten) vom Aufnahmestapel aufnehmen. Danach darf er keine weiter Aktionen durchführen. Der nächste Spieler ist dran. Die Wunschkarte alleine erlaubt nur eine Karte im Austausch vom Aufnahmestapel aufzunehmen. In Kombination mit der Wunschkarte darf der Spieler auch die Stopper-, Klopfer- oder Richtungskarte auf den Ablagestapel mit ablegen (es darf jedoch nie die Stopperkarte oben als Letzte auf dem Ablagestapel aufliegen!).
  • Liegt die Richtungswechselkarte oben auf, erfolgt ein Richtungswechsel!
• • Der Stopper:
  • diese Karte wird nicht für sich auf den Ablagestapel gelegt, sondern immer einem Mitspieler zugeordnet. Diese muss sichtbar vor ihm liegen. Ab diesem Zeitpunkt muss er aussetzen,
  • bis er an die Reihe kommt. Ist der Mitspieler an der Reihe, legt er diese Stopperkarte als einzige Aktion unter den Ablagestapel und der nächste Mitspieler ist dran. Die Stopperkarte darf nur „alleine“ ausgespielt werden und „auf“ den Ablagestapel liegen, wenn der Durchgang des Spielers somit beendet ist.

Meaning of the special cards:

• • The Joker:
  • can replace any card and color in the game to complete a stage or to add cards to a stage that has already been laid out. Jokers that have already been laid out cannot be replaced by a suitable card. The joker has the highest number “12”. The joker itself cannot replace any other special card.
• • The wish card:
  • As soon as it is their turn, a teammate can play this desired card without having previously picked up another card. He puts this card on the discard pile and
  • has the option of adding up to six cards from his hand to the card of choice or
  • Place the discard pile. He can then pick up the number of cards stored (max. 7 cards) from the stack. After that he is not allowed to take any further actions. It's the next player's turn. The wish card alone allows only one card to be taken from the receiving stack in exchange. In combination with the wish card, the player may also put the stopper, knocking or direction card on the discard pile (however, the stopper card may never be the last one on top of the discard pile!).
  • If the direction change card is on top, a change of direction takes place!
• • The stopper:
  • this card is not put on the discard pile for itself, but always assigned to a player. This must be visible in front of him. From this point on he must suspend
  • until his turn comes. When it is your turn to act, he puts this stopper card as the only action under the discard pile and it is the turn of the next player. The stopper card may only be played “alone” and “on” the discard pile when the player's passage has ended.

• The “Draw 2” card

• • Die Richtungskarte:
  • Das Spiel läuft in der Regel im Uhrzeigersinn. Wird die erste Richtungswechselkarte ausgespielt, legt man sie neben den Ablagestapel, für alle sichtbar ab. Das Spiel wird dann sofort gegen den Uhrzeigersinn weitergespielt. Wird von einem Mitspieler eine weitere Richtungswechselkarte abgelegt, wird die erste, welche neben dem Stapel liegt aufgenommen und „beide“ Richtungswechselkarten kommen auf den Ablagestapel. Jetzt wird das Spiel im Uhrzeigersinn fortgesetzt! Solange bis abermals eine Richtungskarte abgelegt wird.
• • Die Klopferkarte:
  • Legt ein Mitspieler eine Karte auf den Ablagestapel, kann ein x-beliebiger Spieler, welcher nicht an der Reihe ist, die Klopferkarte werfen, und symbolisiert: „Ich brauche diese obenliegende Karte“. Der Mitspieler welcher regulär an der Reihe ist, kann jetzt entscheiden, ob er die oben liegende Karte auf dem Ablagestapel selber benötigt oder
  • nicht. Braucht er sie selbst, nimmt er diese vom Ablagestapel auf, wobei derjenige, der die Klopferkarte zuvor ausgeworfen hat, diese zurück auf die Hand nehmen muss. Das Spiel läuft weiter. Benötigt der Spieler, der an der Reihe ist, die Karte nicht, kann der Mitspieler,
  • welche die Klopferkarte geworfen hat, die obenliegende Karte vom Stapel erhalten. Die Klopferkarte bleibt dann als „letzte“ Karte oben auf dem Stapel liegen. Diese ist die einzige Möglichkeit außerhalb der Reihenfolge an eine gewünschte oder benötigte Karte, die auf dem Stapel liegt, heranzukommen.
• • Symbolkarten = Element und das dazugehörende Tier:
  • Zur „Erde“ gehört das passende Tier „Schlange“;
  • Zu „Wasser“ gehört das passende Tier „Fische“;
  • Zu „Wind“ gehört das passende Tier „Adler“;
  • Zu „Feuer“ gehört das passende Tier „Phönix“.

If a player has this card, he must pick up two new cards when discarding it. He can also pass this card on like the stopper card. A player who has this card must draw two new cards, even if it is his last discard card, and has not yet finished his level. The card may not be stored in connection with the desired card.

• • The direction map:
  • The game usually runs clockwise. When the first change of direction card is played, it is discarded next to the discard pile so that it is visible to all. The game then continues immediately in a counter-clockwise direction. If another player discards another direction change card, the first one next to the pile is picked up and “both” direction change cards are placed on the discard pile. Now the game will continue in a clockwise direction! As long as a direction card is placed again.
• • The knocker card:
  • If another player puts a card on the discard pile, any player who does not have their turn can throw the knocker's card and symbolizes: “I need this card on top”. The other player whose turn it is can now decide whether he needs the card on top of the discard pile himself or whether he needs it
  • Not. If he needs it himself, he picks it up from the discard pile, whereby the person who threw out the knocking card must take it back into his hand. The game continues. If the player whose turn it is does not need the card, the other player can
  • who threw the knocker card get the card on top from the deck. The knocker's card then remains on top of the pile as the “last” card. This is the only way to get a desired or required card that is on the stack out of sequence.
• • Symbol cards = element and the corresponding animal:
  • The appropriate animal, the “snake”, belongs to the “earth”;
  • The appropriate animal “fish” belongs to “water”;
  • The matching animal “eagle” belongs to “wind”;
  • The matching animal “Phoenix” belongs to “Fire”.
