The game also includes a series of objective cards, indicating a set of objectives that the player who has one of the series of objective cards must perform.

Description

Board game.

Field of the Invention

The invention relates to a board game for two or more players comprising a board with a circuit composed of a plurality of boxes, some chips identification of each player, a device random number generator, such as a dice, and a Achieved target tokens, each of which being Indicator of an objective that the player who owns the objective accomplished will have been satisfactorily accomplished. There is so minus two different types of target tokens met, Indicators of at least two different objectives.

State of the art

It is known a game consisting of moving a tab around a circuit formed by different boxes colors and answer questions of various types, depending on the color of the box on which it has fallen, due Answer an answer of each type to win the game.

However, this game is already known. Further, in this game each player plays on his own, having very little Interaction between different players. On the other hand, the objectives are always achieved through questions and answers, what That can make the game repetitive.

Summary of the invention

The invention aims at a new set of table. This purpose is achieved by a board game of the type indicated at the beginning characterized in that it also has some series of target indicator cards for a set of objectives that the player possessing one of said cards of series of objectives must perform. These series cards of objectives are different from each other (at least some of them) so that players can have different goals.

Preferably the series cards of objectives have all the same number of objectives, but varies the type of objectives that must be met. This way it is easier to get the difficulty to win the game be the same for all players since everyone must get the Same amount of goals.

Preferably each player has three chips Identifying

Advantageously the circuit has at least two intersections, for example, forming a circuit similar to a "8" This type of circuit is compatible with another advantage additional that consists of the board being divided in two parts: a first part that includes a first part of circuit and a second part comprising a second part of the circuit in such a way that both circuit parts arranged a next to each other define the circuit, while the first part of the circuit, alone, define a reduced circuit. Indeed, suppose a circuit that has an approximate shape of a circle, or of a square. This circuit could be represented in the first part of the board and would constitute the first part of the circuit, that is, the reduced circuit. Suppose Now that in the second part of the board, there is a circuit section in the form of an arc, drawn in such a way that when joining the two parts of the board the arc fits over the circuit reduced, forming a branch in the reduced circuit, with two intersection points The complete circuit would have a form approximately 8, while the reduced circuit would have, as already a circumference form, of square or similar. This way you can have a circuit longer, which is more convenient when many players play and, a shorter circuit that makes the game more enjoyable when there are few players.

Preferably the first and second part of the board are joined together by an elastic joint, as per Cloth example, which acts as a hinge. The board totally extended will show the complete circuit while if you bend the board around its hinge the visible part, which will be the First part, will show the reduced circuit.

Another advantageous way of realizing the game of The table consists of providing you with some credit cards.

Brief description of the drawings

Other advantages and features of the invention they are appreciated from the following description, in which, without no limiting character, a preferred mode of embodiment of the invention, mentioning the drawings that are  accompany. The figures show:

Fig. 1, a board assembly formed by a First part and a second part.

Detailed description of some embodiments of the invention

Figure 1 shows a board according to the invention. It is formed by a first part 1 and a second part 3 joined by a hinge 5 arranged along the line of dashed strokes With both parts 1 and 3 extended, of a circuit 7 that has a square "8" shape with two boxes in which there is a fork. If you bend the second part 3 around hinge 5 so that it is below the first part 1, a reduced circuit 7 remains, in the form of square.

Circuit 7 is formed by a plurality of boxes. The boxes are grouped into different families, by example differentiated from each other by colors and / or by some symbol characteristic, so that each family of boxes means Some specific action during the game. On the board of the Figure 1, specifically, there are sixty-nine boxes that form the circuit 7, which are:

- seven blue boxes with a V / F anagram ("True or false")

- seven red boxes with an anagram of a dice

- seven yellow boxes with an anagram of a pencil

- seven lilac squares with an anagram of one lamp and scratches

- seven black boxes with an anagram of one skull

- seven white boxes with an anagram of one arrow

- seven orange squares with an anagram of one hand and scratched

- seven pink boxes with anagram of heart

- seven green boxes with anagram of world map

Additionally there are six exit boxes, one For each player, they are larger and scratched. The exit boxes are simultaneously boxes of one of the previous types (blue, red, yellow, orange, pink and green) and They have the corresponding anagram. Finally there are six boxes of "box", also one for each player, each being they are attached to the corresponding exit box. These "box" boxes are not part of circuit 7 properly, but they are a place where each player can deposit the chips codes that are not in circuit 7.

The game also includes some cardboards questions, in which each card has:

- a yellow text indicating what you should Draw the player who has fallen into a yellow box.

- a question in green on a topic of geography, along with the correct answer

- a question in pink on a celebrity theme, along with the correct answer

- a question in blue, formulated in such a way which can be answered with a "true" or "false", along with the correct answer

The game also has a series of cards objectives. Each series of objectives card indicates the objectives to be achieved by the cardholder series of objectives. Thus, for example, a serial card of objectives can indicate that the objectives are: two color yellow, none green, two pink, four of Orange, one blue and one red. Preferably all objective series cards have the same number of objectives, for example 10, although there are differences regarding the type of objectives that should be reached. Each player receives a series of objectives card, which keeps it hidden, so that each player knows the own goals but ignores the goals of others.

Each player receives three identification cards, One of which is a cup.

The game also has a plurality of Achieved target tokens of each of the colors of the different objectives, so that a record of goal achieved each time a player reaches a objective.

Some examples of games that can be made using a board game according to the invention.

Example 1

Each player receives all three chips identification (the two "normal" tokens and the cup) and a series of objectives card indicating ten objectives that must be achieved by the player. The player must achieve the ten objectives indicated on your serial card goals to win the game. Every time I reach one of the Goals will be given a goal token achieved. The chips target achieved preferably are different depending on of the type of objective that has been achieved, for example they can be of different colors. In the case of the board shown in Fig. 1,  the achieved target tokens can be colored tokens Yellow, green, pink, orange, blue and red. By getting all the objectives, the player must complete the board to win the game

It can be played individually or by teams of two people, with a maximum of six players or teams.

In turn each player rolls the dice and moves his file (or one of your cards) the number of boxes indicated by the given in only one direction. The chips that haven't started the game they remain in the corresponding "box" box. One time moved the card, it will be in one of the following boxes:

- Yellow box: the player will take one cardboard and draw what this cardboard tells you. The remaining players or teammates in the event that Play by team must guess what you are drawing. For it They have two opportunities. In case of success it will be granted a yellow-colored target token to both players (to the one who was making the drawing and to which he has succeeded the reply).

- Red box: the player must choose between "even" or "odd" and will roll the dice. If the result is coinciding with what you have chosen you will receive a red token of goal accomplished.

- Green box: another player will take a cardboard and will ask the player who has fallen in the box green the green question, corresponding to geography issues. Be It will give you a green token of target met in the event that get the right answer.

- Pink box: another player will take a cardboard and will ask the player who has fallen in the box Rosa the pink question, corresponding to famous subjects. Be will give a pink token of target met in the event that you hit With the correct answer.

- Blue box: another player will take a cardboard and will ask the player who has fallen in the box blue the blue question, which will be a question that will be answered by "true" or "false". You will be given a blue token of objective fulfilled in case you get the answer right correct.

- Orange box: when a player falls into a orange box, an orange target token is given automatically. These boxes are also valid as "boxes sure ", and the player who is in them cannot be eliminated by rivals.

- Lilac box: when a player falls into a lilac box is given a target token fulfilled of the color that wish. These boxes are also "safe boxes" and, In addition, the player has the right to play again.

- Black box: when a player falls into a black box must return a goal sheet met from color you want

- White box: the white boxes are Pass boxes, without any special function.

- Exit box: every time a player fall into an exit box, the exit box is like a "normal" box, that is, the red exit box is like a red box, the green exit box is like a box green, etc. The player must take the corresponding test to Win the goal. The exit boxes are also a "safe box".

So that a player can enter a second identification card on the game board, you must previously return a completed target token, as a "payment" for the right to enter the second identification card in the game board.

When a player falls into a square occupied by another player, if this box is not a "safe box", the player who was initially in the box is eliminated, and you have to return the deleted identification form to your box of "box". Additionally, the eliminated player must deliver two target chips met to the other player, of the color desired by the another player. Next the player who has just reached the box will perform the objective corresponding to this box as if it were a normal play.

In general the cards will be read by the previous player who is playing, except in the case of yellow cards, which will be read by the own player or by one of his teammates.

When a player who is eliminated by another does not have objective tokens met, you should not return a target token met to be able to output your token, but You can do it directly.

When a player has collected all the chips from goal met that you are asked on your serial card objectives, you must go with the objective tokens met to your "Box exit ", and then you must take a full turn to the board with the identification form in the form of a cup. During this back the player must not answer any questions or go through no proof, except for the black or lilac squares in the which will give or receive the objective tokens met relevant. However, during this round you can eliminate a opposing player, charging the two target tokens met established, and may be eliminated by the remaining players, having to pay the two goal tokens met that you ask. In the latter case the player must return to his "Box" to continue the normal game.

Once the player with all the chips goal accomplished has made the final turn to the board, has won the match.

Example 2

A variant of the previous game is obtained playing with the same rules as in example 1, but when the player you don't have to do any test or answer any Ask to get the objective tokens met. Only you must fall in the corresponding color box to receive the target token of that color.

Example 3

Another variant of the game, based on the rules from example 2, it is obtained by giving each player some chips Credit or money tokens. When a player is eliminated, apart If you pay the two completed goal tokens, you will pay two credits to player who has eliminated him. When a player falls into a box Black will pay a loan to a common well for the winner of the departure.

When a player wins the game, he will charge all the credits of the common well a two credits of each player. Additionally each of the other players will pay the winner as many credits as objectives are missing to complete your card of series of objectives. For example if a player has reached cover six goals of your goal series card should pay the winner four credit cards (10 - 6).
