Definitions

  • the invention concerns a gameboard part, a gameboard that comprises such gameboard parts and a game that comprises such a gameboard.
  • the mutual orientation hereby comprises the following aspects: the position that the gameboard parts occupy with respect to one another, thus the total form that they have together; and the rotation position of each gameboard part at a given place, thus with which side or sides each piece stands against one or more other pieces.
  • a holder has the disadvantage that the gameboard parts can perhaps change places and/or be rotated individually, but that they can only occupy the places with respect to one another defined by the holder. Moreover, a holder takes up space and brings about costs.
  • Coupling means also have the disadvantage that they constitute limitations on the numbers of orientations that can be obtained, because one coupling means must always be coupled to a complementary coupling means. Therefore, the coupling means cannot be coupled to identical coupling means such that a large number of orientations of the gameboard parts, i.e. those in which identical coupling means are placed opposite one another, are excluded.
  • Such a gameboard with gameboard parts coupled to each other is for instance known US 2005/0017449 wherein identical square gameboard parts are used that are meant to be assembled in their mutual extension to form a rectangular gameboard or gameboard part. Other compositions are not envisaged.
  • WO 2008/054195 Another example of a known gameboard is disclosed in WO 2008/054195 , disclosing a gameboard composed of two halves that are detachably joined side by side for reasons of transportation or portability. Said gameboard only allows for one configuration of a gameboard for playing the game Tayu.
  • each of the sides (2) are provided with at least one identical coupling means (6,8) and that the identical coupling means comprise a spherical or cylindrical magnet (8) that is rotatably attached in or on the gameboard part (1) or comprise a spherical magnet (8) that is placed loosely in a housing (6) next to the side (2) on the inside of a said side (2), characterized in that, the gameboard part (1) is composed of two identical plastic halves (9) that define a top (3) and a bottom (4) and which halves are fastened to each other, and by said coupling means (6,8).
  • Such a coupling means can be, for example:
  • the coupling means is arranged to exert a coupling force on the identical coupling means of the other gameboard part, whereby this coupling force becomes greater as the actual mutual orientation approaches a desired mutual orientation, thus an orientation in which the two gameboard parts form a variant of a partial or complete gameboard, so that the coupling means steer a mutual orientation of the gameboard parts into a desired mutual orientation.
  • the coupling means comprise a spherical magnet that is rotatably attached in or on the gameboard part and which is preferably placed loosely in a housing next to the side, on the inside of a said side.
  • the gameboard part has the form of a polygon with n sides, where n is greater than or equal to 3, and it has a top and bottom, whereby it is provided on the top and/or bottom with fields for placing game pieces, whereby these fields extend in two directions perpendicular to one another or in three directions at an angle of 60 degrees to one another, whereby the central points of the fields have a regular distance between them.
  • the top and bottom can be made in different colours.
  • polygons whose sides are not completely straight, but for example are undulating or provided with small cutaways or bulges, are also considered as polygons, as long as they can be placed in a regular pattern, similar to mathematical polygons with straight sides.
  • the polygons are regular polygons.
  • the distance from the central points of the fields that are on the sides to the side is preferably half of the said regular distance between.
  • n is equal to four and each of the sides are provided with two identical coupling means with a mutual distance of half the length of a side. This enables each side to be placed in six different positions with respect to a side of another gameboard part, and thus to make 96 gameboard variants with only two gameboard parts (6 positions * 4 sides * 4 sides).
  • the invention also comprises a variable gameboard that comprises two or more gameboard parts with sides that can be positioned with respect one another in different orientations that form a variant of the gameboard, whereby the gameboard parts are each provided with coupling means on all of their sides in order to enable the reverse coupling of the gameboard parts in the said orientations, whereby the coupling means of a said gameboard part are arranged such that they can form a coupling with identical coupling means of one or more other said gameboard parts.
  • the invention also comprises a game as defined in claim 12.
  • the gameboard part 1 shown in figures 1 to 4 has a square shape, with four sides 2 that each have a length L, which in this example but not necessarily is 7 cm.
  • open cavities 5 are made on both on the top 3 and the bottom 4 of the gameboard part and these cavities 5 extend in a regular pattern in two directions perpendicular to one another.
  • the central points of the open cavities 5 have a mutual distance A between them of 17.5 mm.
  • the open cavities 5 that are the closest to the sides 2 have a distance 1 ⁇ 2A to the side 2 of 8.75 mm.
  • housings 6 are affixed with an approximately spherical cavity 7 with a diameter H of 4 mm.
  • a spherical neodymium magnet 8 with a diameter D of 3 mm is placed in each of these spherical cavities 7, which due to the relative sizes of the cavity 7 and the magnet 8 can rotate freely in the cavity concerned 7.
  • the gameboard part 1 is composed of two identical plastic halves 9 that define the form described above and which are fastened to each other and the said magnets 8.
  • the gameboard parts 1, together with one or more similar or identical gameboard parts 1, can form a gameboard 10, as shown in figures 5 to 11 .
  • the gameboard parts 1 are placed in the same plane with their sides 2 against one another, for example, as shown in figure 5 , with a complete side 2 of a first gameboard part 1 against a complete side 2 of a second gameboard part 1.
  • Each pair of magnets 8 that are in each other's vicinity, thus per pair one magnet 8 of the first gameboard part 1 and one magnet 8 of the second gameboard part 1, are now oriented towards one another, so that they attract one another and thereby form coupling means to couple both gameboard parts 1. This is shown in figure 7 .
  • the magnets 8 ensure that with a mutual orientation that somewhat deviates from a desired orientation, the desired orientation is nonetheless automatically adopted.
  • the coupling means i.e. the magnets 8 in their housings 6, are identical along each side 2 of each gameboard part 1, the gameboard parts can be coupled in many different mutual orientations into variants of gameboards 10, as is clear from figures 8 to 11 , in which drawings the gameboard 10 comprises four gameboard parts 1.
  • Figures 9 to 11 also show game pieces 11 in addition to gameboard parts 10, so that a game 12 is shown.
  • These game pieces 11 consist of mutually connected spherical elements 13 that are connected together in a straight or branched orientation, that each occupy a number of open cavities 5 on the gameboard 10, whereby these game pieces 11 can bridge the transition between gameboard parts 1.
  • the open cavities 5 hereby form a particular embodiment of fields for game pieces 11.
  • the elements 13 of the game pieces have a mutual distance S, seen from core to core, that is equal to the said distance A between the open cavities 5 or the fields, on the top 3 and bottom 4.
  • the game 12 is provided with such a set of game pieces 11, that in all possible configurations of the gameboard parts 1, thus in all possible variants of the gameboard 10, there is at least one solution in which all fields 5 are covered by elements 13 of a game piece 11.
  • Figure 11 shows gameboard parts 1 in which a number of open cavities 5 are blocked, in this specific case by providing a filling element 14 in the cavities 5, whereby various cavities 5 are blocked on each side 3,4 of each gameboard part 1.
