Description

1.

  The present invention relates to board games.

  teau, which include a board and pawns, board in

  which have been cut out places for following pawns

  vant lines or advantageously forming recesses of rectangular configuration or, better still square. Current board games are based on the

  generally means that the game board has been cut in di-

  to square lines or the like by lines. The squares or ana-

  Logues are associated with the progress of the game and the player moves pawns on the playing surface in a manner defined by rules. The games are generally played either by a single person, who are then of the solitary type, or by two or more players only. In games

  with two or more players, the progress of the game is

  tion of the player's skill or luck, or more generally

  actually the combination of the two. Board games that can be played by one or more people are very rare. Also rare are board games in which you can use game instruments in games based either on skill or luck, or 2.

on the combination of the two.

  A feature of board games is

  the fact that the pawns move on the surface of the board

  teau out of their change during game situations. Pawns are generally similar and the same

  value, but in some games you use different pawns

  proud of each other and having the same value. The

  probably the best known of this type of games is chess.

  The pawns of some board games have two values

  that they can take during the game, or can take

  dre another value, as is the case for example

  checkers when they are turned over.

  The current board games are based on the change in value of the board, that is to say that on the playing surface depends the aspects of the game and the pawns move on the board where the situation of the game changes. The object of the present invention is a board game where the game situation is constantly changing

  without the pawns of the game changing places. Another ob-

  jet of the present invention is a board game where the pawns have at least three values and their values

  can be changed easily and noticeably.

  Another object of the present invention is a

  board game that can be used with the same instru-

  only for solitary games, games between-

  be two or three players, games based on skill

  tee, luck, or a combination of both.

  According to the present invention, this object is achieved with a board game, which is characterized in that the game pieces are cubes, each side of the cube being provided with a symbol so that the faces of each cube have at least three different symbols and the opposite sides of a cube have at least two

  pairs of corresponding sides so that their symbo-

  the are the same and are different from the symbols of the 3. other faces. Thus, according to the present invention, a pawn of this nature is used which has never been used in board games of the prior art, that is to say a three-dimensional cube, the three dimensions of which are used. Thus, the same pawn has at least three values. The symbols have been placed on the faces of the pawn so that the value changes when made

  undergo a rotation of 90, which has the effect of

  manage the game situation while the pawn remains in the same place. Various colors can be used as symbols,

  letters, numbers, numbers and more.

  The present invention will be well understood when

  of the following description made in conjunction with the

  attached sins in which: Figure 1 shows a game board according to the present invention, in a top view taken at a certain angle;

  Figure 2 shows a pawn in the game which

  go to the set; Figure 3 shows the position of the pawns on the board at the start of the game in a top view from a certain angle; and Figure 4 shows some symbols where the letter B means "white", the letter N "black" and the letter

R "red".

  The game board shown in Figure 1 is square and has 16 square recesses 5, which are placed

  parallel to each other, as illustrated in fig-

  re 1. The cubes shown in Figure 2 are placed in the recesses 5 of the tray. In the embodiment represented in FIG. 1, a dividing line separating two playing areas and a symbol, in this case a color marker 4 placed in the corners of the playing areas,

have been marked on the board.

  The pawn presented in figure 2 is a cube.

  Each face of the cube has a symbol and the opposite faces form pairs of corresponding sides of which 4. the symbols are identical and different from the symbols of the other faces. The upper and lower faces of the cube shown in FIG. 2 are red, the front and rear faces are white and the left and right faces are black. In figure 3, the pawns were placed on the board to start the game. In games using skill, all the cubes are similar so that each pawn is equipped with three symbols and on the faces

  opposite of the pawn are formed three pairs of cor-

  one or more of the cubes shown in fig-

  re 3 could be fitted with four different symbols by painting the opposite side to that painted in white, for example blue. So, we introduce a random element

in the progression of the game.

  The initial position of the game shown in Figure 3 is used in a game for two people in which

  the colors of the players are those of the upper surfaces

  laughing cubes; one player has the black cubes and the other

  n20 the red cubes, so the white cubes are neutral. We live

  get, turning the cubes of 90, to get four cubes of his

  own color on the side of its competitor or four cu-

  white bes in a lateral or vertical row. You can rotate the cubes according to the following rules: 1. It is allowed to freely rotate your own color

  to obtain white or the color of its competitor.

  2. It is permissible to turn white to obtain its pro-

pre color.

  3. It is allowed to turn the color of its competitor to obtain white. In the case where during the game the color of the competitor is changed to white once, twice, etc. the competitor has the right during his turn to submit to a cube that he must use two consecutive turns. It is allowed to submit only one round of a cube of the competitor's color

to make it go white.

  5. 4. White can be turned freely to obtain the color of the competitor in which case, the competitor does not have permission during his turn to touch any white cube. - The other rules are:

  5. The competitor is not allowed to touch the cube-

born last.

  6. The last white cube must be left in place. If we

  play a game where at least one pawn has four symbols

  different bowls, so when this type of symbol appears

  seems, this fourth color is turned towards

  high and it is no longer allowed to turn this pawn.

  Using the board and the game pawns of the present invention, one can play alone by placing the pawns in an arbitrary order on the board and trying to obtain with the minimum of displacements, a

  certain defined position, for example, the initial position

  the. Three people can play this game, giving each player an equal number of cubes, that is,

  the initial situation includes five cubes of each symbol

  the turned up. If any player arrives at

  a position where he only has a cube in the game, he leaves

  te the game and it continues in normal play with two competitors.

  The board game also includes advantageous-

  ment a group of cards or other auxiliary equipment that we have provided with symbols corresponding to those of the game cubes. Thus, we turn the cubes on the game board

  using this auxiliary equipment.

  You can use the board and the pawns in app-

  carrying numerous modifications to the game. The game of the present invention has various aspects, which is

  the consequence of the variants offered by the three dimensions

  sions of cubes used as pawns. Naturally, the pla-

  The game cap may have a shape other than the square shape 6 illustrated in the example described. In addition, the number of

  pieces may vary as indicated in the claims

  so that instead of 4 x 4 = 16 cubes and the corresponding tray, one can use for example 3 x 3, 5 x 5, 4 x 6 or any other plausible number of cubes and a corresponding tray. The present invention can be used in many games where there are two or three players or in games involving skill, luck or

to a combination of the two.

  The present invention is not limited to the exemplary embodiments which have just been described, it

  is on the contrary susceptible to modifications and varian-

  those who will appear to those skilled in the art.
