Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a game for two players, comprising two series of pawns and a game board provided with a network of lines each having at least three locations each intended to receive a pawn.
  • the invention constitutes an improvement of the well-known game called "hopscotch” or "chariot” (in German “Mühle”), where the players each have nine identical pawns which they place or move in turn on the spaces marked on the game board.
  • the two sets of pawns are distinguished by their color.
  • the lines of the classical network compose three concentric squares connected by four radial lines, with twenty-four locations located at the corners of the squares and at the intersections between the radial lines and the sides of the squares.
  • a player manages to align three of these pawns on a line he can take an opponent's pawn, except those that are aligned. He wins when the opponent has only two pawns left or is blocked.
  • the invention aims to make such a game more complex and more interesting, by offering new strategic possibilities.
  • the game according to the invention is characterized in that on each pawn is written a number representing a value of the pawn.
  • each series of pawns the numbers entered are different for each pawn and each series of pawns comprises N pawns carrying respectively whole numbers from 1 to N.
  • each series of pawns comprises nine pawns and the network of lines comprises twenty-four locations distributed over three concentric squares.
  • the numbers are written on the pawns in Braille writing and the two sets of pawns are differentiated by different shapes. These numbers written in Braille script are placed on an upper face of each pawn and a lateral face of each pawn is provided with a tactile orientation marker.
  • each location for a pawn is materialized by a cavity formed in the board of the game and in which the pawn can fit.
  • each pin has a protruding base arranged to fit into said cavity.
  • the game board can comprise, apart from the network of lines, at least two channels or two series of housings for the storage of the pawns.
  • the game board 10 shown in Figure 1 has a surface flat top 11 carrying the traditional network of the game of "chariot” or “hopscotch”, comprising straight lines 12 to 15 and twenty-four locations 16 for pawns, with the geometric arrangement described above. Lines 12 to 15 can be drawn or engraved. In this example, the locations 16 are formed by shallow cylindrical cavities. Two opposite edges of the board 10 each have a channel 17 or a row of housings where all the pawns of a player can be stored. The player can also place the pawns taken from the opponent. On the other two edges, inclined surfaces 18 are provided which are capable of carrying advertising inscriptions or the rules of the game.
  • FIG. 2 shows a first form of a pin 20 usable with the game board 10.
  • This pin has for example a conical central part 21, a round head 22 and a cylindrical base 23 narrower than the base of the cone and arranged for fit into the cavities 16 of the board 10 in order to stabilize the pin.
  • a number 24 indicating the value of the counter is written on the conical part, preferably three times on the perimeter so as to be always visible.
  • Each player has a series of nine pawns whose respective values can be whole numbers from 1 to 9 or any other assortment of numbers. The two sets of pawns can be distinguished by their color, but also by their shape.
  • the pin 30 shown in Figure 3 has the same appearance as the pin 20 in its parts 21 and 23, but its head 31 is shaped differently to allow its use by blind or visually impaired players.
  • the top of the head 31 is flat and the number indicated by the reference 24 is repeated there by an embossed inscription 32 in Braille writing.
  • an orientation mark 33 is provided on one side of the head 31. In the example shown, it is a small projection formed by the head of a nail, like those which constitute the inscription 32, but it can also be done in the form of a flat on the desired side of the head 31.
  • the two series of pawns have different respective shapes to be recognizable by touch.
  • the rules of the game can be the same as those of the traditional game, with the addition of a count of the points of the pawns taken from the opponent.
  • a bonus can be awarded in special cases, especially if the opponent is blocked or if the game is dead end.
  • Other rules can be applied with similar equipment, for example by drawing lots of pawns in an assortment of pawns of different values.
  • the material can be made of wood or any other suitable material. It can be the subject of various variants within the framework of the invention, not only from the point of view of the form, but also as regards the configuration of the network, the number of locations for the pawns, as well as the number of pawns.
