Abstract

The nine men's morris playing surfaces are located on the sides of the dice. The nine men's morris dice can be rotated about an axis of rotation in the diagonal plane of the dice body. The axis of rotation is attached to a baseplate. The outer squares of the nine men's morris game are located on connection surfaces of the dice sides so that they can simultaneously be included in the game of two adjacent nine men's morris playing surfaces in competition. The corner points of the outer squares are located on corner surfaces which connect three adjacent nine men's morris playing surfaces and can be occupied in competition by three playing surfaces. 54 magnetic discs belong to the game as playing pieces which adhere to the playing points (consisting of metal discs). The nine men's morris dice is made of plastic in combination with wood and metal. Up to six players can play simultaneously on the nine men's morris dice. <IMAGE>

Description



ErläuterungenExplanations

Der Mühlenwürfel ist ein auf die 6 Flächen eines Würfels übertragenes Mühlenspiel.The mill cube is a mill game transferred to the 6 faces of a cube.

Bestehend aus:

  • a) einem würfelähnlichen*, geometrischen Körper, auf dessen Seitenflächen sich je ein Mühlenspielfeld befindet.
  • b) einem Metallstab als Drehachse in der Diagonalen des Mühlenwürfels.
  • c) einer Bodenplatte zum Tragen der Drehachse des Würfelkörpers.
  • d) 54 Magnetscheibchen als Spielsteine für maximal 6 Spieler.
Consisting of:
  • a) a cube-like *, geometric body, on each side of which there is a mill playing field.
  • b) a metal rod as the axis of rotation in the diagonal of the mill cube.
  • c) a base plate for supporting the axis of rotation of the cube body.
  • d) 54 magnetic discs as playing pieces for a maximum of 6 players.

* Die Abänderung des Würfels als symmetrischer, regelmäßiger, geometrischer Körper besteht darin, daß an Stelle der Würfel­kanten Rechtecke (=Verbindungsflächen) eingesetzt wurden, die so die Seitenflächen des Würfels miteinander verbinden (Abb.1).* The modification of the cube as a symmetrical, regular, geometric body consists in the fact that instead of the edges of the cube, rectangles (= connecting surfaces) were used to connect the side surfaces of the cube with one another (Fig. 1).

Die Länge der eingesetzten Rechteckflächen (=Verbindungsfläche) entspricht der Länge a der Würfelseite (einer Seitenfläche). Die Breite beträgt 1/4 der Länge derselben = a/4 (Abb. 1).The length of the rectangular surfaces used (= connecting surface) corresponds to the length a of the cube side (one side surface). The width is 1/4 of the length of the same = a / 4 (Fig. 1).

Durch das Einsetzen der Verbindungsflächen an 3 benachbarten Seitenflächen entsteht ein Eckfeld als gleichseitiges Dreieck mit einer Seitenlänge von a/4 (Abb.1).By inserting the connecting surfaces on 3 adjacent side surfaces, a corner field is created as an equilateral triangle with a side length of a / 4 (Fig.1).

Der abgeänderte Würfelkörper setzt sich zusammen aus:
    6 Seitenflächen (=Quadrate) mit Seitenlänge a
    12 Verbindungsflächen (=Rechtecke) mit Länge a und Breite a/4
    8 Eckfeldern (=gleichseitige Dreiecke) mit Seitenlänge a/4 (Abb. 2).The modified cube body consists of:
6 side surfaces (= squares) with side length a
12 connecting surfaces (= rectangles) with length a and width a / 4
8 corner fields (= equilateral triangles) with side length a / 4 (Fig. 2).

Das Mühlenspielfeld ist folgendermaßen plaziert:
Die beiden inneren Spielquadrate des Mühlenspiels liegen auf der jeweiligen Seitenfläche des Würfelkörpers (Abb. 3). Das äußere Spielquadrat des jeweiligen Mühlenspiels liegt auf den angrenzenden 4 Verbindungsflächen und auf den Eckfeldern so, daß der mittlere Spielpunkt auf dem jeweiligen Verbindungsfeld, als gemeinsamer Spielpunkt für die angrenzenden 2 Mühlen­spielfelder gilt, und der Spielpunkt auf dem jeweiligen Eckfeld als gemeinsamer Spielpunkt für 3 angrenzende Mühlenspielfelder gilt, mit Ausnahme der beiden Eckfelder der Diagonalachse die die Drehachse des Würfelkörpers aufnimmt (Abb. 4.).The mill field is placed as follows:
The two inner squares of the mill game lie on the respective side surface of the cube body (Fig. 3). The outer game square of the respective mill game lies on the adjacent 4 connecting areas and on the corner fields so that the middle game point on the respective connecting field is the common game point for the adjacent 2 mill game fields, and the game point on the respective corner field is the common game point for 3 adjacent ones Mill play fields apply, with the exception of the two corner fields of the diagonal axis, which takes up the axis of rotation of the cube body (Fig. 4.).

Jeder Spielpunkt der äußeren Spielquadrate kann also von 2 bzw. 3 angrenzenden Mühlspielen konkurrierend besetzt werden, mit Ausnahme von den beiden Punkten, die in der Diagnonalachse des Körpers liegen.Each game point of the outer game squares can therefore be occupied by 2 or 3 adjacent mill games, with the exception of the two points that lie in the diagnostic axis of the body.

Die Linien der Mühlenfigur der einzelnen Spielfelder auf den Seitenflächen werden durch Prägung, Farbauftragung oder als Streifen mit einer vom Würfelkörper abweichenden Farbe gestaltet.The lines of the mill figure of the individual playing fields on the side surfaces are designed by embossing, color application or as stripes with a color different from the cube body.

Als Spielsteine werden 54 Magnetscheiben für maximal 6 Spieler eingesetzt. Als Gegenstück der magnetischen Spielsteine sind Metall­scheiben entsprechend den Spielpunkten auf dem Würfelkörper aufge­setzt (jeder Spieler verfügt bei maximaler Besetzung über 9 Spielsteine).54 magnetic discs for a maximum of 6 players are used as playing pieces. As a counterpart of the magnetic tokens, metal discs are placed on the cube body according to the game points (each player has 9 tokens at maximum occupancy).

The die body is modified to the extent that the outer square of the 6 mill Fields game points wear that for each 2 (mean = point on the connection box) and 3 (= vertices on the corner panels) are adjacent playing fields as a common game points and competitively occupies can be. 4. Der Würfelkörper des Mühlenwürfels ist um eine diagnonal gesetzte Achse nach beiden Seiten drehbar. Die Achse ist senk­recht in einer Bodenplatte befestigt.4. The cube body of the mill cube can be rotated on both sides about a diagnostically set axis. The axis is fixed vertically in a base plate. 5. Als Spielsteine werden 54 Magnetsteine in 6 Farben für maximal 6 Spieler eingesetzt. Als Gegenstück der magnetischen Spielsteine dienen Metallscheiben. (Jeder Spieler verfügt bei maximaler Besetzung über 9 Spielsteine gleicher Farbe.)5. 54 magnetic stones in 6 colors for a maximum of 6 players are used as playing pieces. Metal disks serve as the counterpart of the magnetic game pieces. (Each player has 9 pieces of the same color with a maximum of players.)
