Definitions

  • the present invention relates to game tools and, more particularly, to a game tool such as a Go game (the game of Go), a Shogi (japanese chess), a Renju (Gobang) or the like, wherein play is made in which a plurality of game pieces are arranged or put in order on a board.
  • a game tool such as a Go game (the game of Go), a Shogi (japanese chess), a Renju (Gobang) or the like, wherein play is made in which a plurality of game pieces are arranged or put in order on a board.
  • both the players store or memorize accurately the arrangements from the beginning to the end, and the arrangements are taken on the record of the Go game (the order of the placed stones is written, by numerals, onto a paper on which a pattern of the Go broad is written).
  • operation of taking the record of the Go game is executed during playing a game of Go by an observer of the Go game while viewing the Go game, or is executed by the players after the Go game while searching their memory.
  • the magnetic Go set has a Go board in which a grid is printed on a painted iron board or plate and a plurality of white and black Go stones in which one side of each of the stones has a magnetic piece.
  • the conventional magnetic Go set Is such that the grid is printed on the Go board, and the iron plate is considerably thick. Therefore, such Go board is convenient for playing the Go game.
  • a Kyuro board having nine (9) paths or the like is used.
  • the Kyuro board (9 x 9 grid board) is a simplified Go board in which. normally, lines having longitudinal and lateral nineteen (19) paths are reduced respectively to nine (9) paths.
  • "Atari” means the situation that own stones surround the counter stone(s) and can capture the counter stone(s) by playing own next move.
  • "Shikatsu” means living stones and dead stones, and also means to distinguish living stones or dead stones.
  • the living stones mean a stones formation which is never killed.
  • the dead stones mean a stones formation which cannot live.
  • "Kou” means a stones formation which can capture counter stone each other. In accordance with Go game rule in Kou formation, if a player captured the counter stone by play own stone, the counter player is prohibited from capturing the counter stone at next own move.
  • a conventional magnetic Go set comprises an iron Go board in which printing is made to a surface of an iron Plate. and longitudinal and lateral lines are printed on the iron plate to form grid, and a plurality of magnetic Go stones In which plastic white and black Go stones have their respective one sides thereof to which tablet magnets are adhered respectively.
  • the Go board is folded in half.
  • the Go stones are received in separate boxes made of a paper or a plastic material. These Go board and Go stones are received in a single box.
  • the Go board of such magnetic Go set is arranged such that Go stones each having a magnet surface are played respectively on points of intersection of the grid which are drawn on the surface. Therefore, the Go set is superior in attraction, and is preferable to be used in a train in which the Go board cannot be maintained horizontal, in a bus in which vibration is violent, or the like.
  • the Go stones are capable of being attracted anywhere on the surface of the Go board. therefore, if the Go stones are not accurately placed on the points of intersection when playing Go, the Go stones are attracted on positions out of the points of intersection.
  • the Go stones should shift slightly and are corrected to correct positions.
  • the attracting force is set largely or strongly in order to prevent the Go stones from shifting out of their correct positions due to vibration. For this reason, shifting operation of positions of the respective stones once placed is unexpectedly difficult. If a force is added excessively, the Go stones move quickly. Thus, sometimes stones adjacent to the above-described stones also move. Furthermore, there is the following problem. That is. if an attracting force is set to a weak one, that is, if magnets weak in attracting force are used. the placed stones shift by oscillation or vibration.
  • the conventional magnetic Go board is made of an iron plate, the board is liable to become heavy. Thus, there is a difficult point in carrying.
  • a game tool which achieves the object, comprises a game board, a plurality of game pieces, and preservation means for temporarily preserving a fighting condition in which game pieces are optionally arranged on a game board, under the fighting condition as it is.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a Go set in which, after an end of the Go game, move arrangements can be seen or understood without taking a record of a Go game. and the move arrangements can be preserved.
  • a Go set according to the invention which achieves the object, comprises a plurality of black stones to which odd numbers are applied, a Go vessel for the black stones for arranging and receiving the black stones in order of numbers, a plurality of white stones to which even numbers are applied, a Go vessel for the white stones for arranging and receiving the white stones in order of numbers, and a Go board.
  • It is still another object of the invention is to provide a game tool in which the number of paths on a board can optionally be changed, patterns of teaching materials and Go problems can be realized on the board, and a game can be enjoyed easily and anywhere.
  • a game tool comprises a substantially square metal plate having magnetic attraction, a sheet body in which a transparent sheet covering separably covering a surface of the metal plate is connected to the metal plate along one side, a game form having printed surface, being put between the metal plate and the transparent sheet, and a plurality of playing pieces provided magnets.
  • the Go set according to the invention comprises a Go board, and a plurality of white and black Go stones, wherein longitudinal and lateral lines forming crosses on the Go board are made of magnetic substances or paramagnetic substances, and wherein at least one sides of the respective Go stones are respectively made of a paramagnetic substance or a magnetic substance, whereby the Go stones are capable of being attracted onto the lines or the points or intersection on the Go board.
