Description

Game board with playing fields and board game fiqures

The invention relates to a game board with playing fields and board game pieces.

For a long time there have been game boards made up of playing fields are known, on which the game pieces or figures can be set or moved to enable the most varied types of games.

Also known are game boards whose fields have a storage or a pin formation which conversely or complementarily interact with a corresponding storage or pin training on the basis of the game figures, in order to avoid that the game pieces can unintentionally move in and out of their field.

Although these bearings with plug-in part in the boxes and sockets or No pick-up parts in the game pieces or vice versa Have a sense of direction, figures and fields are related

pluggable to each other; however, the figures can rotate about their vertical axis.

The invention is based on the object of preventing these clutch bearings or journals from affecting the components allow them to rotate around their axis. When the figures are stuck in their fields according to the invention if the figure is not symmetrical with respect to its vertical axis, they assume a sense of direction.

This is achieved in a board game of the type mentioned above in that the coupling bearings (plug-in or socket part) are of polygonal cross-section.

Preferably, the number of sides and corners of each polygonal cross-section is exactly the same as that of the Number of orientations the figure can adopt according to the rules of the game.

The basic idea is a convex polygon; however, other possibilities can be omitted derive from the principle of the convex polygon. For example, if you assume a square field and you want the Pieces looking to a side or corner, determined by the type of game and the playing field, that is Solution an octagonal-convex polygon.

Exemplary embodiments of the invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings are explained, the excerpts from the game board on the one hand, tenons on the other hand in the figures 1 to 9 can be recognized.

Figure 1 shows a plan view of a section of a game board 1 and a field 2 with a polygonal Figure storage 3.

In Figure 4 is a representation in elevation of the same portion of board game 1, field 2, the polygons Storage, socket formation shown in this case 3, into which the likewise polygonal plug-in part 6 is inserted which remains in the lower part of the game figure 5.

FIG. 7 shows the same representation, but in this case the mounting of the field is the plug-in part 3 ¹ , that of the figure is the socket part 7.

A star-shaped cross section with eight is derived from the polygonal cross section and thereby defined Corners, as can be seen in FIG. 2, and also offers a solution to the problem according to the invention.

According to Figures 5 and 6, we see a fixed insertion option between the board and the board game piece according to Figure 5, when the plug-in part on the figure, the socket part in the board or - Figure 8 - the plug-in part is formed on the board and the socket part in the figure.

Also derived from the above, the socket formations 4 are located in the corners or in the Sides of the polygon, as can be seen in FIG. 3; also this defined possibility through its own polygon is within the scope of the invention.

According to Figure 6, we see the front view of the clutch bearing the socket part on field 4 and the plug-in part on the board game figure 6 and

In Figure 9, the coupling mounting is made so that the socket part 4 * is on the board figure and the The plug-in part is located on the 6 "board game field.

With this coupling plug-in system, it is not necessary that the field and playing figures have the same number of socket configurations and have plug-in parts. When the number of socket formations is eight, the number of male parts be two to eight. One of these. Plug-in parts and its associated socket formation can be in the center of the polygon

are «Any of these combinations, which are always defined and derived from one Polygons do not fall within the scope of the invention at all, in particular not as long as the character of the equipment the pieces on the board remain eleven.
