Abstract

Ein würfelähnliches Spielgerät besteht aus einem mehrseitigen Körper mit paarweise gegenüberliegenden Hauptflächen, die jeweils als Auflagefläche und als Anzeigefläche dienen. Erfindungsgemäß sind die Hauptflächen derart auf dem Körper angeordnet, daß die Symmetrieachse gegenüberliegender Auflage- und Anzeigeflächen gegeneinander geneigt sind. Hieraus ergibt sich eine Form des Spielgerätes, die im Unterschied zu einem konventionellen Würfel keinen im wesentlichen geradlinigen Wurf mehr erzeugt, sondern durch zunehmend auftretende Verkantungen im Bewegungsablauf direktere und abruptere Richtungsänderungen bewirkt. Besonders bevorzugt sind hierbei elliptische Flächen als Haupt-Spielflächen, wobei die beiden Ellipsen-Hauptachsen gegenüberliegender Hauptflächen senkrecht zueinander stehen.
