The innovation concerns a board game with a game board, playing field and playing pieces.

Traditional games are characterized by the fact that the playing field is fixed from the beginning of the game for the entire duration of the game. An example of this is checkers, which consists of 8 by 8 field elements (black and white squares).

According to DE-OS 3523049, a board game is known in which the game situation is constantly changing, although the figures remain in place. The figures are cubic blocks, which are marked with symbols and can be adjusted to the existing recesses by turning. Such known board games essentially consist of a playing field in the form of recesses to which playing figures are assigned.

The aim of the innovation is to create a board game in which the playing field itself is freely defined at the beginning of the game, but is redefined as the game progresses by changing the field.

This task is solved by having the playing field in its state with changeable fields during the game. The playing pieces are moved in turns depending on the current field state.

The novelty of this board game is that the playing field itself is freely defined at the start of the game and/or is or can be changed dynamically during the game. The state of the playing field changes according to the shape and/or color of the fields.

In contrast to known board games, the board game after the innovation consists of the elements that, according to the game system, are determined by the change in the state of the field.

The state of the fields can be changed by using different colors, different symbols, differently shaped elements or by electronically influencing the fields.

Magnetic or adhesive aids for changing the field conditions are also possible.

According to a preferred embodiment, a field is present in one of at least four different color states. For example, fields of different colors are preferably interchangeable in pairs.

According to a further embodiment, a field according to the invention is present as a combination of a recess with a replaceable element.

Such a field exists in one of at least four different states.

The innovation is explained below using an example.

According to the drawing, Figure 1 is a schematic representation of the playing field with changeable fields (1, 2, ..., 6), consisting of a recess (10), element (7) and two playing figures (8). Figure 2 shows a section of a form of the fields as a recess (10), movable elements (7) and playing figure (8). Figure 3 shows a field of the playing field as a combination of recess (10) and matching element (7); a possible playing figure (8) is also shown. Figure 4 shows a section with electronic aids (9) and a playing figure (8).

Given are:

- a game board with 64 recesses

-16 yellow, red, green and blue field elements each

- 32 identical playing pieces

Initial situation:
The game board is empty.

Two opposing players each receive 8 yellow, red, green and blue field elements, with which they alternately fill the playing field, and each receive identical playing pieces.
The pieces are positioned like in checkers.

Color wheel principle:

If you imagine the colors used as areas arranged on a circle and the areas are equidistant from each other, the following terms can be defined:

Intrinsic color: The color of the area under consideration.

Secondary colors: The colors of the areas adjacent to the area under consideration.

Opposite color: The color of the surface opposite the surface under consideration.

red

For a colour wheel with 4 colours: yellow blue

green

Examples:

Red and green are therefore complementary colors, as are yellow and blue. Blue is a secondary color to green or red.

Red orange

For a colour wheel with 6 colours: violet yellow

blue green

Examples of a color wheel with 6 colors:

Complementary colors are: red-green; orange-blue; yellow-violet. Blue is a secondary color to violet or green.

A game board that contains field elements with a color from one of the above-mentioned color circles is called a color circle game board.

Move

A turn is an action that moves the game from one defined state to another defined state.

campaign

A campaign is a move that moves the playing field from one defined state to another defined state. An unoccupied element swaps its position with an unoccupied neighboring element.

Figure move

A piece move is a move that moves the pieces on the board from one defined state to another.

A figure changes its position on the playing field.

Zugfeld

A move square is an adjacent free square in the direction of move.

Target field

A target square is a square to which a piece can be moved on the next turn.
State of a train field
In relation to the current field, a moving square can assume the states of own color, adjacent color or opposite color.

State of a target field
In relation to the current field, a target field can assume the states of own color, adjacent color or opposite color.

General rules of the game:

The pieces may or may not be equal.

The aim of the game is:

- to bring your own pieces into the opponent's sector - to capture as many of the opponent's pieces as possible.

The winner is the person with the most pieces at the end of the game.

No piece may stand on the target square unless it can be captured

become.

Specific game rules for a selected game:

1. The playing field is a color circle playing field with 4 colors.

2, campaign and turn alternate.

3. A campaign cannot replace a piece move.

4. A piece move cannot replace a campaign.

5.1 If the move field is of the same color, it can be moved 2 fields forward.

5.2 If the move square is of the opposite color, you can move 1 square forward. 5.3 If the move square is of the opposite color, you cannot move.

6.1 If the target square is of the opposite colour and is occupied by an opposing piece, it cannot be captured.

6.2 If the target square is of the same or adjacent color and is occupied by an opponent’s piece, it can be captured.

7. Two consecutive campaigns must produce different field states.

8. The playing field is determined before the game begins.

9. Two people participate in the game.

10. The pulling direction is forward.

11. Opposing pieces may be captured.

12. The hitting direction is diagonal.

The game continues until one player has no more pieces or at least one player can no longer move.
