Abstract

The game has a baseplate (2) and a circular disc (1) which can be rotated relative to each other. Groove track portions (7, 13) of a curved route, which open out in each case at the circumference of the circular disc (1) and guide balls (3), are formed in such a way that, in several predetermined rotational positions of the circular disc (1) relative to the baseplate (2), the groove track portions (7) of the baseplate (2) join with the groove track portions (13) of the circular disc (1) to form several closed groove tracks. The balls (3) are in groups of different colours and can be transferred in the appropriate rotational positions of the circular disc (1) from one groove track portion (7) of the baseplate (2) into a groove track portion (13) of the circular disc (1) and, after the circular disc has been rotated, into another groove track portion (7) of the baseplate (2) and thus brought into a different order (Figure 1). <IMAGE>

Description

Es sind räumliche oder ebene Logik-Spielzeuge bekannt, die zahlreiche unterschiedlich markierte, gegeneinander verlagerbare Spielsteine aufweisen, die durch ihre gegenseitige Verlagerung beliebig miteinander vermischt und danach wieder in ihre ursprüngliche Ordnung gebracht werden können. Ein Beispiel für ein derartiges Logik-Spielzeug ist der weltbekannte "Magische Würfel". Diese bekannten Logik-Spielzeuge sind jedoch nur als Einzelspielzeug zur Unterhaltung jeweils von nur einer Person gestaltet.Spatial or level logic toys are known which have numerous differently marked, mutually displaceable tokens, which can be mixed with one another as desired by their mutual displacement and then brought back to their original order. An example of such a logic toy is the world-famous "magic cube". However, these known logic toys are only designed as individual toys for entertainment by one person at a time.

Durch die Erfindung wird die Aufgabe gelöst, ein Logik-Spielzeug dieser Art in Form eines Gesellschaftsspielzeuges zu schaffen, dessen Spielaufgabe es ist, eine Vielzahl gruppenweise unterschiedlich markierter Spielkugeln, die über das Spielzeug hin miteinander vermischt sind, von allen am Spiel teilnehmenden Personen in gegenseitiger Konkurrenz wieder in eine bestimmte Ordnung zu bringen.By the invention the object is achieved to create a logic toy of this type in the form of a social toy, the task of which is to play a large number of differently marked game balls, which are mixed with one another via the toy, by all the people taking part in the game in mutual way To bring competition back into a certain order.

Das Logik-Gesellschaftsspielzeug gemäß der Erfindung besteht in seiner Grundausführungsform aus einer regelmä- Bigen oder unregelmäßigen Grundplatte und wenigstens einer in der Grundplatte versenkt angeordneten Kreisscheibe, wobei Grundplatte und Kreisscheibe um die Achse der Kreisscheibe gegeneinander verdrehbar sind, und aus einem Kugeln führenden Nutbahnsystem, welches aus mehreren kurvenförmigen Nutbahnabschnitten in der Kreisscheibe einerseits und in der Grundplatte andererseits besteht. Die kurvenförmigen Nutbahnabschnitte münden jeweils mit zwei Stellen ihrer Bahn am Umfang der Kreisscheibe und sind derart ausgebildet, daß sich in mehreren vorbestimmten Drehstellungen der Kreisscheibe gegenüber der Grundplatte die Nutbahnabschnitte der Grundplatte mit den Nutbahnabschnitten der Kreisscheibe zu mehreren jeweils in sich geschlossenen Nutbahnen ergänzen, die vorzugsweise kreisringförmig verlaufen. Jeder der Nutbahnabschnitte hat eine derartige Länge, daß wenigstens zwei Kugeln gleichen Durchmessers hineinpassen.The logic board toy according to the invention in its basic embodiment consists of a regular or irregular base plate and at least one circular disc sunk in the base plate, the base plate and circular disc being rotatable relative to one another about the axis of the circular disc, and of a ball-bearing groove track system which consists of several curved groove track sections in the circular disc on the one hand and in the base plate on the other. The curved groove track sections each open with two points on their track on the circumference of the circular disk and are designed such that the circular disk is in several predetermined rotational positions relative to the base plate te complement the groove track sections of the base plate with the groove track sections of the circular disk to form a plurality of self-contained groove tracks, which preferably run in a circular shape. Each of the groove track sections has a length such that at least two balls of the same diameter fit into it.

Beispielweise gehören zu jedem Spieler ein Nutbahnabschnitt der Grundplatte. Wenn alle Nutbahnabschnitte der Grundplatte und der Kreisscheibe mit Kugeln unterschiedlicher Farben gefüllt sind und sich die Kreisscheibe in einer Drehstellung befindet, in welcher jeweils ein Nutbahnabschnitt der Kreisscheibe und ein Nutbahnabschnitt der Grundplatte einander zu einer ringförmig geschlossenen Nutbahn ergänzen, können die in dieser Nutbahn vorhandenen Kugeln gemeinsam um ein beliebiges Maß weitergerollt werden, so daß entsprechend viele Kugeln von dem einen Ende des Nutbahnabschnittes der Kreisscheibe in das eine Ende des Nutbahnabschnittes der Grundplatte eingeführt und von dessen anderem Ende in das andere Ende des Nutbahnabschnittes der Kreisscheibe gerollt werden. Wird nun die Kreisscheibe um einen entsprechenden Winkel verdreht, so werden die Nutbahnabschnitte der Kreisscheibe auf einen anderen Nutbahnabschnitt der Grundplatte ausgerichtet, so daß hier erneut Kugeln von der Kreisscheibe mit Kugeln von der Grundplatte vertauscht werden können. Wenn beispielsweise die Kugeln unterschiedliche Farben aufweisen, kann daher jeder Spieler in Konkurrenz mit jedem anderen Spieler im Verlaufe des Spiels versuchen, möglichst viele Kugeln gleicher Farbe in dem zu ihm gehörenden Nutbahnabschnitt der Grundplatte zu sammeln.For example, a slot section of the base plate belongs to each player. If all the groove track sections of the base plate and the circular disk are filled with balls of different colors and the circular disk is in a rotational position in which a groove track section of the circular disk and a groove track section of the base plate complement one another to form an annularly closed groove track, the balls present in this groove track can are rolled together by any amount so that a corresponding number of balls are inserted from one end of the slot section of the circular disk into one end of the slot section of the base plate and rolled from the other end into the other end of the slot section of the disk. If the circular disk is now rotated by a corresponding angle, the groove track sections of the circular disk are aligned with another groove track section of the base plate, so that balls from the circular disk can be exchanged again with balls from the base plate. If, for example, the balls have different colors, each player can therefore compete with any other player in the course of the game to try to collect as many balls of the same color as possible in the slot section of the base plate belonging to them.

Die Erfindung wird anhand einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform erläutert, die in ihren Einzelheiten aus der Zeichnung ersichtlich ist. In der Zeichnung zeigt:

  • Fig. 1 und 2 das erfindungsgemäße Logik-GesellschaftsSpielzeug in Draufsicht,
  • Fig. 3 einen Querschnitt des Spielzeugs gemäß der Schnittlinie A-A in Fig. 1 und
  • Fig. 4 einen Querschnitt des Spielzeugs gemäß der Schnittlinie B-B in Fig. 1.
The invention is explained using a preferred embodiment, the details of which can be seen from the drawing. The drawing shows:
  • 1 and 2, the logic social toy according to the invention in plan view,
  • Fig. 3 shows a cross section of the toy along the section line AA in Fig. 1 and
  • 4 shows a cross section of the toy along the section line BB in FIG. 1.

Das Logik-Gesellschaftsspielzeug nach dem Ausführungsbeispiel besteht aus einer im wesentlichen quadratischen Grundplatte 2 und einer in dieser versenkt angeordneten Kreisscheibe 1, die um ihre Achse in der Grundplatte 2 verdrehbar befestigt ist. Hierzu weist die Kreisscheibe 1 an ihrer Unterseite einen Achszapfen 6 auf (Fig. 3), der durch ein Kreisloch der Grundplatte 2 hindurchragt und auf dem an der Unterseite der Grundplatte 2 zwischen Unterlegscheiben 8 eine Schraubenfeder 9 angeordnet ist, die federnd einerseits an der Unterseite der Grundplatte 2 und andererseits an einem durch das freie Ende des Achszapfens 6 gesteckten Querstift 10 abgestützt ist, so daß die Kreisscheibe 1 federnd gegen die Oberseite der Grundplatte 2 gedrückt ist.The logic board toy according to the embodiment consists of a substantially square base plate 2 and a circular disc 1 sunk therein, which is rotatably mounted about its axis in the base plate 2. For this purpose, the circular disc 1 has on its underside an axle journal 6 (FIG. 3) which projects through a circular hole in the base plate 2 and on which a helical spring 9 is arranged on the underside of the base plate 2 between washers 8, which is resilient on the one hand on the underside the base plate 2 and on the other hand is supported on a transverse pin 10 inserted through the free end of the journal 6, so that the circular disk 1 is pressed resiliently against the upper side of the base plate 2.

In der Grundplatte 2 sind vier untereinander gleiche Nutbahnabschnitte 7 ausgespart, die entlang eines Kreissegmentbogens verlaufen, der länger als ein Halbkreisbogen ist, und die mit ihren beiden Nutenden am Umfangsstirnrand der Kreisscheibe 1 münden. In der Kreisscheibe 1 sind vier untereinander gleiche Nutbahnabschnitte 13 ausgespart, die entlang eines Kreissegmentbogens verlaufen, der kleiner als ein Halbkreisbogen ist und den Kreissegmentbogen der Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte.2 zu einem Vollkreis ergänzt. Auch die Nutbahnabschnitte 13 münden mit ihren Nutenden am Umfangsstirnrand der Kreisscheibe 1. Die Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte 2 und die Nutbahnabschnitte 13 der Kreisscheibe 1 sind jeweils um 90° am Kreisscheibenumfang gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet. Die Nutböden der Nutabschnitte 7 und 13 liegen in der gleichen Ebene.In the base plate 2, four mutually identical groove track sections 7 are cut out, which run along a circular segment arc which is longer than a semicircular arc and which open with their two groove ends at the circumferential end edge of the circular disk 1. In the circular disk 1, four mutually identical groove path sections 13 are cut out, which run along a circular segment arc that is smaller than a semicircular arc and supplements the circular segment arch of the groove path sections 7 of the base plate 2 to form a full circle. The groove track sections 13 also open with their groove ends at the circumferential end edge of the circular disk 1. The groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2 and the groove track sections 13 of the circular disk 1 are each offset from one another by 90 ° on the circular disk circumference. The groove bottoms of the groove sections 7 and 13 are in the same plane.

Die Nutbahnabschnitte 7 und 13 dienen zur Aufnahme von Kugeln 3 untereinander gleichen Druchmessers. Die Querschnittsweite der Nutbahnabschnitte 7 und 13 ist um ein Gleitspiel größer als der Durchmesser der Kugeln 3. Die Nuttiefe ist größer als der Halbmesser der Kugeln 3, jedoch kleiner als ihr Durchmesser, so daß die auf dem Nutboden liegenden Kugeln 3 aus den Nutbahnabschnitten 7 und 13 über die in gleicher Ebene liegenden Oberseiten der Grundplatte 2 und der Kreisscheibe 1 etwas nach oben hinausragen. Die freien Nutränder sind einspringend ausgebildet, so daß an ihnen die in den Nutbahnabschnitten 7 und 13 aufgenommenen Kugeln 3 gegen ihr Herausnehmen aus den Nutbahnabschnitten gesperrt sind. Die Länge der Nutbahnabschnitte 7 und 13 ist jeweils derart gewählt, daß in die Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte 2 jeweils neun Kugeln 3, und in die Nutbahnabschnitte 13 der Kreisscheibe 1 jeweils sechs Kugeln 3 hineinpassen.The groove track sections 7 and 13 serve to receive balls 3 of the same diameter. The cross-sectional width of the groove track sections 7 and 13 is greater than the diameter of the balls 3 by a sliding play. The groove depth is greater than the radius of the balls 3, but smaller than their diameter, so that the balls 3 lying on the groove bottom consist of the groove track sections 7 and 13 protrude slightly upwards over the tops of the base plate 2 and the circular disk 1 lying in the same plane. The free groove edges are designed to protrude, so that the balls 3 received in the groove track sections 7 and 13 are blocked on them against being removed from the groove track sections. The length of the groove track sections 7 and 13 is chosen such that nine balls 3 each fit into the groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2, and six balls 3 each fit into the groove track sections 13 of the circular disk 1.

Die Kreisscheibe 1 weist an ihrer Oberseite in ihrer Mitte ein Griffkreuz auf, an welchem sie verdreht werden kann. Unter dem Rand der Kreisscheibe 1 sind in der Grundplatte 2 Kugelrasten aus an einer Rastfeder 12 abgestützten Rastkugeln 11 angeordnet, die mit Rastausnehmungen in der Unterseite der Kreisscheibe 1 zum Verrasten der Kreisscheibe 1 in denjenigen Drehstellungen zusammenwirken, in denen jeder ihrer Nutbahnabschnitte 13 auf einen der Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte 2 ausgerichtet sind und sich mit diesem zu einer in sich geschlossenen kreisringförmigen Nutbahn ergänzen.The circular disc 1 has on its top in the middle a cross handle on which it can be rotated. Under the edge of the circular disc 1 2 ball catches are arranged from locking balls 12 supported on a locking spring 12, which cooperate with locking recesses in the underside of the circular disc 1 for locking the circular disc 1 in those rotational positions in which each of its groove track sections 13 on one of the Groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2 are aligned and complement each other to form a closed annular groove track.

Zwischen den Nutbahnabschnitten 7 der Grundplatte 2 sind an deren Ecken schalenförmige Kugelspeicher 4 in der Oberseite der Grundplatte 2 ausgespart. Die als Zylinderausnehmungen ausgebildeten Kugelspeicher 4 sind an ihrer am nächsten am Umfang der Kreisscheibe 1 liegenden Umfangsstelle mit einer Verbindungsnut 14 versehen, die am Umfangsstirnrand der Kreisscheibe 1 endet, so daß in entsprechenden Drehstellungen der Kreisscheibe 1 (Fig. 2), in denen jeder Nutbahnabschnitt 13 der Kreisscheibe 1 mit seinem einen Nutbahnende auf die Verbindungsnut 14 eines der Kugelspeicher 4 ausgerichtet ist, Kugeln 3 aus dem Nutbahnabschnitt 13 in den Kugelspeicher 4 gerollt werden können oder umgekehrt Kugeln aus dem Kugelspeicher 4 in den Nutbahnabschnitt 13 eingeführt werden können. Die Kugelspeicher 4 können gegen den Umfangsrand der Kreisscheibe 1 mittels Stöpseln 5 (Fig. 1) verschlossen werden, die in die Verbindungsnut 14 der Kugelspeicher 4 hineingesteckt werden, so daß dann während des Verdrehens der Kreisscheibe 1 keine Kugeln 3 aus ihren Nutbahnabschnitten 13 in die Kugelspeicher 4 hineinrollen können.Between the groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2, bowl-shaped ball stores 4 are recessed in the top of the base plate 2 at the corners thereof. The ball storage 4 designed as cylinder recesses are provided at their closest circumferential location on the circumference of the circular disk 1 with a connecting groove 14 which ends at the circumferential end edge of the circular disk 1, so that in ent speaking rotational positions of the circular disc 1 (Fig. 2), in which each slot track section 13 of the disk 1 is aligned with its one slot track end on the connecting groove 14 of one of the ball stores 4, balls 3 can be rolled out of the track section 13 into the ball store 4 or vice versa balls can be inserted from the ball storage 4 into the groove track section 13. The ball accumulator 4 can be closed against the circumferential edge of the circular disk 1 by means of plugs 5 (FIG. 1), which are inserted into the connecting groove 14 of the ball accumulator 4, so that no balls 3 from their groove path sections 13 into that during the rotation of the circular disk 1 Ball storage 4 can roll into it.

Die Kreisscheibe 1, die Grundplatte 2, die Kugeln 3 und die Stöpsel 5 sind vorzugsweise im Spritzguß aus Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt. Zur Materialersparnis sind die Kreisscheibe 1 und die Grundplatte 2 an ihren Unterseiten ausgespart (Fig. 3 und 4). Die Unterlegscheiben 8, die Druckfeder 9, der Querstift 10 und die Rastfedern 11 und Rastkugeln 12 bestehen vorzugsweise aus Stahl bzw. einem anderen Metall.The circular disk 1, the base plate 2, the balls 3 and the plugs 5 are preferably made of plastic material by injection molding. To save material, the circular disc 1 and the base plate 2 are recessed on their undersides (FIGS. 3 and 4). The washers 8, the compression spring 9, the cross pin 10 and the detent springs 11 and detent balls 12 are preferably made of steel or another metal.

Die durch die Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte umgrenzten Flächen der Grundplatte 2 können unterschiedlich gefärbt sein (Fig. 1), so daß jedem Spieler, zu dem ein solcher Nutbahnabschnitt 7 gehört, eine bestimmte Farbe zugeordnet ist. Entsprechend diesen Farbmarkierungen sind die Kugeln 3 gruppenweise unterschiedlich gefärbt.The areas of the base plate 2 delimited by the groove track sections 7 of the base plate can be colored differently (FIG. 1), so that each player to whom such a groove track section 7 belongs is assigned a specific color. In accordance with these color markings, the balls 3 are colored differently in groups.

Die Spielweise mit dem Logik-Gesellschaftsspielzeug ist wie folgt:

  • An dem Gesellschaftsspiel mit dem in der Zeichnung dargestellten.Spielzeug können 4 Personen teilnehmen, von denen jeder einer der Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte 2 zugeordnet ist. Die Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte 2 und die Nutbahnabschnitte 13 der Kreisscheibe 1 sind jeweils mit Kugeln gefüllt. Die Kugeln 3 unterschiedlicher Farbgebung sind willkürlich miteinander vermischt in den Nutbahnabschnitten 7 der Grundplatte 2 angeordnet, wohingegen in den Nutbahnabschnitten 13 der Kreisscheibe 1 neutrale Kugeln 3 angeordnet sind. Jeder Spieler hat die Spielaufgabe, in dem ihm zugeordneten Nutbahnabschnitt 7 der Grundplatte 2 soviele Kugeln 3 wie möglich zu sammeln, deren Farbe mit der Farbe seines Spielfeldes übereinstimmt. Gleichzeitig soll er versuchen, dasselbe Ziele seiner Mitspieler zu verhindern. In der aus Fig. 1 ersichtlichen Grundstellung des Spielzeuges, in welcher die Kreisscheibe 1 mit ihren Nutbahnabschnitten 13 auf die Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte 2 ausgerichtet ist, können die in dieser ringförmigen Nutbahn 7-13 vorhandenen Kugeln gemeinsam im Kreis verschoben werden, so daß Kugeln von der Kreisscheibe 1 auf die Grundplatte 2, und umgekehrt Kugeln 3 von der Grundplatte 2 auf die Kreisscheibe 1 überführt werden können. Wird nun die Kreisscheibe 1 um 90° verdreht, so werden vor den Nutbahnabschnitt 7 jedes Spielers in neuer Kombination verteilte neue Kugeln 3 gebracht, von denen nun Kugeln gewünschter Farbe von der Kreisscheibe 1 in den Nutbahnabschnitt 7 des Spielers eingeführt werden können. Der Spielsieger ist derjenige, welcher nach dem wiederholten Verdrehen der Kreisscheibe 1 als erster seinen Nutbahnabschnitt 7 mit Kugeln 3 der ihm zugeordneten Farbe gefüllt hat oder der nach einer beliebig verabredeten Anzahl von Scheibendrehungen über mehr gleichfarbige Kugeln verfügt als die Spielgegner. Nach der Beendigung des Spieles kann die Kreisscheibe 1 um 45° verdreht werden, so daß die in der Kreisscheibe 1 befindlichen Kugeln nach Entfernen der Stöpsel in die Kugelspeicher 4 gebracht werden können und ggf. für das nächste Spiel in neuer Ordnung in die Nutbahnabschnitte 13 eingeführt werden können.
The way of playing with the logic board toy is as follows:
  • 4 people can take part in the board game with the toy shown in the drawing, each of whom is one of the groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2 is assigned. The groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2 and the groove track sections 13 of the circular disk 1 are each filled with balls. The balls 3 of different colors are randomly mixed with one another in the groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2, whereas neutral balls 3 are arranged in the groove track sections 13 of the circular disk 1. Each player has the task of collecting as many balls 3 as possible in the slot path section 7 of the base plate 2 assigned to them, the color of which corresponds to the color of his playing field. At the same time, he should try to prevent the same goals from his teammates. In the basic position of the toy shown in FIG. 1, in which the circular disk 1 is aligned with its groove track sections 13 to the groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2, the balls present in this annular groove track 7-13 can be moved together in a circle, so that balls from the circular disc 1 to the base plate 2, and vice versa balls 3 can be transferred from the base plate 2 to the circular disc 1. If the circular disk 1 is now rotated by 90 °, new balls 3 are brought in front of the slot section 7 of each player in a new combination, of which balls of the desired color can now be inserted from the circular disk 1 into the slot section 7 of the player. The game winner is the one who, after repeated rotation of the circular disc 1, is the first to fill his groove section 7 with balls 3 of the color assigned to him, or who has more balls of the same color than the opponents after an arbitrarily agreed number of disc rotations. After the end of the game, the circular disc 1 can be rotated by 45 °, so that the balls located in the circular disc 1 can be brought into the ball storage 4 after removing the plugs and, if necessary, inserted in a new order into the groove track sections 13 for the next game can be.

Das Lösen der Spielaufgabe kann zusätzlich dadurch erschwert werden, daß man mittels eines Farbwürfels bestimmt, ob die Kreisscheibe 1 jeweils um 90°, 180° oder 270° verdreht wird. Bei solchen Spielregeln wird neben der logischen Denkfähigkeit auch das Glück eine gewisse Rolle für den Spielerfolg bilden.Solving the game task can be made more difficult by using a color cube to determine whether the circular disk 1 is rotated by 90 °, 180 ° or 270 °. With such rules of the game, in addition to logical thinking skills, luck will also play a certain role in the success of the game.

Ferner kann insbesondere in den Nutbahnabschnitten 7 der Grundplatte 2 eine nestartige Aussparung (nicht gezeigt) ausgebildet sein, die am Nutboden mündet und in welche eine der Kugeln 3 gegen Federdruck vollständig versenkt werden kann, so daß die anderen Kugeln 3 in dem Nutbahnabschnitt 7 über die versenkte Kugel hinübergerollt werden können und in dieser Weise die Kugeln 3 in dem Nutbahnabschnitt 7 umgeordnet werden können.Furthermore, in particular in the groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2, a nest-like recess (not shown) can be formed, which opens at the groove bottom and into which one of the balls 3 can be completely sunk against spring pressure, so that the other balls 3 in the groove track section 7 via the sunken ball can be rolled over and in this way the balls 3 can be rearranged in the groove track section 7.

Das Logik-Gesellschaftsspielzeug ist daher geeignet, die logische Denkfähigkeit und die Beobachtungsfähigkeit zu schulen. Die Betätigung des Spielzeuges ist einfach, so daß sowohl Erwachsene als auch Kinder damit spielen können.The logic social toy is therefore suitable to train the logical thinking ability and the ability to observe. The operation of the toy is simple, so that both adults and children can play with it.

Abhängig von der jeweiligen Spielregel bietet das Logik-Gesellschaftsspielzeug die Möglichkeit zu einer Unterhaltung, die ähnlich wie das Kartenspielen oder das Spiel mit dem Roulette ist. Durch die Anzahl der Nutbahnabschnitte 7 der Grundplatte 2 ist die Höchstanzahl der teilnehmenden Spieler bestimmt. Durch Änderung der Anzahl der Nutbahnabschnitte 7 und entsprechend der Nutbahnabschnitte 13 kann daher die mögliche Spieleranzahl geändert werden. Es liegt daher auf der Hand, daß anstatt eines Spielzeuges für 4 Personen auch ein Spielzeug für beispielsweise 6 Personen ausgebildet werden kann.Depending on the rules of the game, the logic board toy offers the opportunity for entertainment that is similar to playing cards or playing roulette. The maximum number of participating players is determined by the number of groove track sections 7 of the base plate 2. The possible number of players can therefore be changed by changing the number of the slot sections 7 and corresponding to the slot sections 13. It is therefore obvious that instead of a toy for 4 people, a toy for 6 people can be formed.
