Definitions
- the present invention relates to a game.
- the object of the invention is to provide a game which is both recreational and didactic, developing in particular the thinking skills of the player and which, in addition, allows, using the same equipment, to play according to rules of games of different difficulties depending on age or the aptitude of the players.
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a first embodiment of the game.
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of part of this game.
- Fig. 3 is a perspective view of an element of this game.
- Fig. 4 is an exploded view of the part of the game shown in FIG. 3.
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a variant of this game.
- Fig. 6 is a perspective view of a detail of this variant.
- the game shown in fig. 1 includes a full stack 1 of polyhedra regular elementaries 2 constituted by rhombic dodecahedrons whose number, per layer, decreases from bottom to top. Stacking shape of a pyramid. Its faces have recessed parts due to the the very nature of rhombic dodecahedrons 2.
- the dodecahedra 2 are placed "on point", that is to say that they have one of their vertices facing down. To be able to maintain in this position, without the stack collapsing, the dodecahedra of the lower layer are partially engaged in opening cells square 3 that has a base 4 made of cardboard or material plastic, for example.
- the dodecahedrons 2 may have their vertices rounded. They will be made of cardboard, plastic or wooden. In the plastic execution, they will be preferably in two pieces of identical shape 2a, in the form of shells, permanently attached to each other, as shown in fig. 4. Each piece present male and female elements, not shown in the drawing, intended to cooperate to ensure their assembly.
- the faces of the dodecahedra 2 have a different appearance, of two types.
- Faces of the same type may be identical or different provided that they have distinctive characters indicating that they belong to the same "family"; these families can be characterized by different ways: color, even and odd numbers, for example, various connected patterns by the same common theme, different for each family, etc.
- the faces of one type have been shown in white and those of the other type to the shaded state.
- the dodecahedra are made of cardboard
- the game will be accompanied by a single or multiple rule which will command the player (s) to place the elementary polyhedra, to make the polyhedron composed, in such a way that the different aspect faces of said polyhedra elementary appear in an imposed configuration or according to a rule imposed.
- the elementary polyhedra are formed by regular rhombic dodecahedra.
- the compound polyhedron 1 produced by their stacking is of general pyramidal shape. Its faces have recessed parts due to the very nature of the dodecahedra rhombic 2.
- polyhedra elementary consist of regular rhombic dodecahedra 5 identical to those of the first embodiment, in two aspects of different surface, but which are stacked so as to constitute a polyhedron compound 6 in the form of a tetrahedron.
- the base designated by 7, has triangular opening cells 8.
- FIG. 5 the assembly of FIG. 5 was carried out in such a way that, on the left face of this figure, all the faces of the dodecahedra elementary 2 inclined are of a type, while all the vertical faces are of the second type.
- the aspects of their faces could be non only of two different types, one half of their faces having a appearance of one type and the other half of the other type, as in the examples described and represented, but that their faces could present three types of different aspects, a third presenting an aspect of a first type, a third of a second type and the third third of the third type.
- the aspects of their faces can be of three different types, a third of said faces having an appearance of each type or a quarter of their faces having an appearance of a first type, a quarter of a second type and half of a third type.
- the aspects of their faces may be of four different types, a quarter of their faces presenting an aspect of each type. They could also have their faces with six different types of appearance, one sixth of their faces having a appearance of each type.

- Jeu comprenant des polyèdres élémentaires dont une partie des faces au moins présentent, dans leur aspect, des caractères distinctifs d'au moins deux types différents, les caractères d'un même type étant constitués de manière à rendre apparent qu'ils appartiennent à une même famille, caractérisé par le fait qu'il comprend au moins deux embases présentant des alvéoles destinés à recevoir lesdits polyèdres qui s'y engagent partiellement, l'un de leurs sommets étant dirigé vers le bas, ces alvéoles étant disposés de manière à permettre la réalisation d'un empilage desdits polyèdres élémentaires en couches successives dans lesquelles le nombre des polyèdres va en diminuant de la base vers le sommet, de telle sorte que ledit empilage constitue un polyèdre composé dans lequel la position relative des faces des polyèdres élémentaires, selon leur caractère distinctif, forme une configuration qui réponde à au moins deux règles de jeu, lesdits polyèdres élémentaires étant des dodécaèdres rhombiques réguliers, les alvéoles de l'une des embases étant des carrés permettant de former une configuration qui réponde à une première règle de jeu et les alvéoles de l'autre embase étant des triangles permettant de former une configuration qui réponde à une deuxième règle de jeu.
- Jeu suivant la revendication 1, caractérisé par le fait que les types différents des caractères distinctifs de leurs- faces sont au nombre de deux, une moitié des faces desdits polyèdres présentant les caractères de chaque type.
- Jeu suivant la revendication 1, caractérisé par le fait que les types différents des caractères distinctifs de leurs faces sont au nombre de trois, un tiers des faces desdits polyèdres présentant les caractères de chaque type.
- Jeu suivant la revendication 1, caractérisé par le fait que les types différents des caractères distinctifs de leurs faces sont au nombre de trois, un quart des faces desdits polyèdres présentant un aspect d'un type, un quart d'un deuxième type et une moitié d'un troisième type.
- Jeu suivant la revendication 1, caractérisé par le fait que les types différents des caractères distinctifs de leurs faces sont au nombre de quatre, un quart des faces desdits polyèdres présentant les caractères de chaque type.
- Jeu suivant la revendication 1, caractérisé par le fait que les types différents des caractères distinctifs de leurs faces sont au nombre de six, un sixième des faces desdits polyèdres présentant les caractères de chaque type.
