Definitions
- This invention relates to the game of TOMBOLA and other similar games, ie games based on the chance extraction of different numerals (and/or letters of the alphabet, symbols, designs).
- the game of TOMBOLA is a sort of lottery of an informal character played with different score-cards each containing fifteen printed numerals, its equipment also comprising a bag of identical counters on which are printed the numerals (in particular from 1 to 90) involved in the game, and a master card on which the game numerals are printed in ordered arrangement.
- the numbered counters are extracted randomly from the bag, the winners being those possessing score-cards whose numbers are extracted before the others.
- tombola score-cards can be provided comprising windows carrying numbers which are covered by slidable covers on extraction.
- TOMBOLA Game variations of TOMBOLA are also known and available, for example in which the numerical signs are replaced by the same number of different symbols and/or figures and/or letters of the alphabet, in particular for relatively small children.
- An object of this invention is to provide a means which makes the use of score-cards for tombola or similar games more simple, more practical and also more effective.
- the score-card illustrated in the figures is of the type specifically suitable for the classical game of TOMBOLA , but it is apparent that by appropriate modification it can be made suitable for other similar games based on the extraction of a plurality of numerals.
- the score-card of the invention comprises a support sheet A (or an equivalent means) carrying printed on it the appropriate numerical signs B for the game.
- the sheet A comprises a play region divided into various boxes C distributed in five rows and nine columns. In each of these boxes there are printed respective numerical signs B , in particular corresponding to fifteen different numbers, chosen randomly from 1 to 90.
- the various score-cards in the game are different from each other.
- each numerical sign B and/or letter, symbol, figure
- a small area F of a thin layer of coating of the type which, when scratched, is removed with relative ease; moreover the coating area F has a graphical appearance which is visually conspicuous compared with that region of the sheet on which it is positioned.
- Said coating is of known type, and is such that it normally remains perfectly adhering to the sheet A to maintain good integrity even when the sheet is handled. When however it is scratched with a sufficiently hard body possessing a fairly sharp edge, such as a coin, a knife etc., the coating is removed and the underlying numeral becomes visible.
- a coating of this type is used, for example, in those Italian State lottery cards known as "scratch cards".
- each box C containing a numerical sign B is covered by said coating area F , which has a different graphical appearance from the underlying sheet region to make it conspicuous compared with this latter.
- said coating area F carries a printed numerical sign F' corresponding to the numerical sign B printed on the score-card sheet and covered by the same area F of coating (for example the numerical sign "2" printed on the sheet is covered by an area of coating carrying an equivalent sign "2"), but preferably having a different graphical appearance therefrom.
- the coating area F is of dark colour and the numerical sign F' is of light colour (see Figure 1A); in contrast the underlying box C is of light colour, and the underlying graphic sign B is of dark colour (see Figure 1B).
- the score-cards Before play, the score-cards have the appearance shown in Figure 1A, ie they have all their number-carrying boxes C covered with respective areas of coating, the underlying numbers being indicated visually by the numerical signs F' printed on the area of coating.
- the numerical signs B printed on the sheet A are not covered.
- thee is a relative area of coating G of the aforedescribed type.
- said areas G are scratched and removed whenever the number indicated in the adjacent box is extracted.
- the numbers extracted are indicated to the player by the fact that the relative boxes do not carry the adjacent area of coating.
- Figure 3 shows a score-card on which some boxes C are marked with areas G , whereas other boxes C do not carry the relative marker as this has been scratched away.
- the shape of the areas G can be different from that shown.
- it can be in the shape of a frame surrounding the numerical sign B .
- the score-card of the invention can also be for games other than TOMBOLA which are based on the extraction of numbers.
- TOMBOLA TOMBOLA
- the numerical signs are replaced by symbols and/or figures and/or letters of the alphabet, in particular for relatively small children.
- the sign F' positioned on the coating region F will be a symbol/figure/letter identical to the underlying sign.
- the score-card of the invention is much more convenient to use than traditional score-cards by virtue of it being very easy and functional to scratch with a coin or a similar means in order to indicate the numbers as they are extracted.
- the number indication remains fixed, in contrast to what can occur with traditional score-cards, on which the numbers extracted are indicated by resting a small object on them.
