Definitions

• the invention relates to a game device, a set of game devices and a game.
• the invention is intended to create a new type of game device, a new type of game device and a new type of game.
• a game device consisting of a can and one or more sound bodies, by a set of such game devices and by playing with such game devices or such a set.
• the novel game device can be used for various purposes or game purposes.
• the game can include the task of guessing the number of sound bodies present in the game device.
• the spatula can be shaken or moved in such a way that the sounding body (s) bump against the inner surface of the box in which they are located.
• the tones caused by this can be used for playing purposes.
• the tones can be used to estimate or guess the number of sound bodies present in the can.
• the novel game device can be used with particular advantage in dice games.
• one or more, preferably two, cubes can be rolled first.
• the number of points rolled is the maximum number of points for the subsequent turn.
• the actual score is determined by gaming devices that have different numbers of sound bodies. A turn may only be played if there is a play area has been selected whose number of sound bodies corresponds at most to the number of points rolled. In this case, that number is used for the play that corresponds to the number of sound bodies in the selected game device. Otherwise, the dice rolled will expire and a turn may not be made.
• Each player must select a gaming device from a number of gaming devices. In each game device there is a number of points possible through the dice or dice. With two dice, there are eleven play devices with two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve sound bodies, which are preferably the same in every play device and also in all play devices. Each player takes one piece of equipment and the move may be made by the player who took the equipment with the number of points rolled or - if no player succeeded - with the highest number of points below the value rolled.
• the invention can also be applied to other types of games, for example card games, placement games or other games, in particular those games in which a number is generated or specified by chance.
• "Random number generators" of all kinds can be used to specify the number.
• the random number can be generated electronically, by means of a chip, microprocessor, computer, PC or the like.
• the invention can also achieve the advantage that the randomness previously given by a dice or a playing card or another “random generator” can be restricted or manipulated by a certain, but not sufficient, probability. The player or players thereby achieve nothing a random result, but a probable result.
• a specific number can be determined by hearing or feeling in such a way that the exact number can be determined with a certain probability, but the numbers around the exact number with a high probability.
• the probability of finding the game device with 8 sound bodies is low.
• the probability of finding one of the game devices with 7 to Finding 9 orchestras is higher, and the likelihood of finding one of the playing devices with 6 to 10 orchestras is much higher, so results that would otherwise be purely coincidental can almost be excluded from the selection.
• the can is closed or closable.
• the box is designed in such a way that the sound bodies are reliably held in it.
• the sound bodies can be small sounding bodies or other sound bodies.
• the can has a footprint.
• the can is preferably closed on all sides.
• the game device can also be designed such that the can has a container which can be closed or closed by one or more, in particular two, lids.
• the lid can be releasably connectable to the container. For example, it can be screwed or pressed into the container.
• the container and / or the lid can be made of wood and / or plastic and / or metal and / or Fasal ® and / or Technopal ® .
• the container and the lid can be made of plastic.
• the lid can preferably be connected or connected to the container by a snap connection, for example according to a container-lid combination known per se, as is used for film cans.
• the container is made of wood and the lid is made of plastic. It is also advantageous if the container is made of metal or Fasal ® or Technopal ® . In these cases, the lid is preferably made of plastic.
• An advantageous development is characterized in that the can or the container has a footprint.
• the can or the container can be cuboid or cubic.
• the standing area can be formed by one of the areas of the can or the container.
• the lid has a handle part.
• the handle part can be spherical. However, other shapes are also possible, such as furniture handles.
• the lid preferably has a base.
• the standing area is preferably formed by the edge of the lid.
• the lid can be cup-shaped.
• the depression of the lid preferably extends into the container. This is particularly advantageous if the number of sound bodies present in the game device is noted on the game device in order to be able to control this number in the course of the game. In this case, the number of sound bodies can advantageously be indicated on the recess of the cover. It is protected there from the eyes of the other players in the normal course of the game and can still be determined easily and reliably if necessary by turning the game device over.
• the cover can have a conical contact surface. This is particularly advantageous if the lid can be pressed into a depression, preferably into a substantially cylindrical depression or opening of the container. In this case, the arrangement is preferably made such that the outer diameter of the lid is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the opening of the Container. Ribs or other elevations can also be present on the outer diameter of the cover and / or on the inner diameter of the opening.
• the conical contact surface can ensure that the lid can be reliably inserted into the opening of the container.
• the cover can have a conical contact surface.
• the opening of the container can have a conical contact surface. This can ensure that the lid is reliably held in the opening of the container, even if certain manufacturing tolerances occur when the container is opened and / or in the lid.
• one or more or all of these sound bodies can be different from the other sound bodies.
• the sound bodies can be spherical. However, they can also be flattened. In particular, the sound bodies can be lenticular. They can be muggles or flat smugglers.
• the sound bodies can be made from steatite or steatite stone and / or from artificial pearl material and / or from metal and / or from organic material and / or from plastic.
• Ball bearing balls can be used as the sound body, but also beans, kidney beans, round or flattened plastic balls or round beads or similar small bodies. In principle, all types of small parts can be used.
• the edge of the lid can be flush with the container.
• the outer periphery of the edge of the lid can, however, also lie partially or completely within the outer periphery of the container. After an advantageous further formation protrudes beyond the edge of the lid, on part of the circumference or on the entire circumference. As a result, the lid can be released in a particularly simple manner and the container can thus be opened in a simple manner. Furthermore, the footprint of the edge can be increased.
• the can or the container has a handle part.
• This can be an essentially spherical grip part.
• the handle part can also be designed in a different way, in particular similar to a furniture handle.
• the invention also relates to a set of game devices according to the invention.
• the set consists of two or more new play equipment.
• a different number of sound bodies can be present in the game devices.
• the sound bodies in several or all play equipment can be the same. It is particularly advantageous if the number of sound bodies present in the respective game device is noted on the game device, preferably on or within its stand area, preferably in a recessed area of the stand area.
• a set can be used that consists of eleven play devices, one play device having a number of two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve sound bodies is available. All sound bodies of all play equipment are preferably the same.
• the invention relates to a game, in particular a dice game, which is characterized by one or more innovative gaming devices and / or by an innovative set of gaming devices.

• the game device 1 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a container 2, which is closed by a lid 3.
• the container 2 is made of wood.
• the lid 3 is made of plastic.
• the container 2 has a cylindrical part 4, which is closed at the top by a hemispherical part 5. The opening formed by the lower end of the cylindrical part 4 is closed by the cover 3.
• the lid 3 is pot-shaped. It has a cylindrical part 7, the outer diameter of which is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the opening at the lower end of the cylindrical part 4 of the container 2. In this way, the cover 3 can be pressed into the opening of the cylindrical part 4 of the container 2.
• the lid 3 is reliably held there due to the press fit described. However, it can be dismantled if necessary.
• a conical part 9 adjoins the upper end of the cylindrical part 7 of the cover 3 and tapers inwards in the upward direction. Through the conical part 7, the lid 3 can be reliably inserted into the opening of the cylindrical part 4 of the container 2. The lid 3 is closed off at the top by the bottom surface 10.
• the number of sound bodies 6 present in the game device is printed or written on the underside 11 of the base surface 11 or otherwise noted.
• the edge 8 of the cover 3 protrudes.
• the outer diameter of the edge 8 is thus larger than the outer diameter of the cylindrical part 4 of the container 2. This makes opening the can easier.
• the lid 3 can be easily removed from the container 2 by exerting pressure on the protruding edge 8.
• the footprint for the game device is formed by the underside of the edge 8.
• the cover 3 has a conical contact surface 9.
• the sound of the sound body 6 in the can formed by the container 2 and the lid 3 can be influenced by the shape of the container 2 and lid 3 and by the selection of the materials of the container 2 and the lid 3. If the lid 3 is made of plastic the degree of hardness of the plastic is of particular importance in this context. If the container 2 is made of wood, a wood that can be turned, such as maple, beech, rubber tree, ash, boxwood or fruit wood, is preferably used.
• the cover 3 has a conical contact surface 9 which runs obliquely downwards and outwards from the bottom surface 10 and to which a conical contact surface 12 adjoins, which likewise runs obliquely downwards and outwards.

• the inclination could also be smaller or the same size.
• the conical contact surface 12 ensures that the cylindrical part 4 of the container 2 is reliably held on the cover 3.
• the cylindrical inner part 4 of the container 2 bears with its circular inner lower edge against the outer inclined surface of the conical contact surface 12.
• the arrangement is such that, taking into account any tolerances, it is always ensured that the circular lower inner edge of the cylindrical part 4 lies in the region of the conical contact surface 12 and can be clamped there by pressing and thus jammed.
• the edge 8 connects to the outer lower end of the conical contact surface 12.
