JP2001259110A - Reverse game using imaginary checker and imaginary stone - Google Patents

Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a board game that is simple in rules, full of variety and fun for many people. SOLUTION: This reverse game employs imaginary checkers and imaginary stones temporarily generated by players placing stones. The imaginary checkers and imaginary stones once generated are normally erased in the opponent's turn, but the imaginary frame is sometimes kept displayed. The generated imaginary checkers and imaginary stones are, in principle, displayed on the game board or display, but if the players are sure that they will have not trouble with a game with the imaginary checkers, imaginary stones or both of them omitted, it or they may be hidden.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a game played on a game board or a video display such as a television or a liquid crystal using a stone. A stone has the same meaning as a piece used for a game.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A reverse game is a game in which a game board or a display is divided in a grid pattern, and stones that can be distinguished from each other are alternately placed in a grid or on an intersection. You should be able to distinguish yourself and your opponent's stone, such as your front and your opponent's back. You can flip your opponent's stone between the stone you hit and your stone already on the game board. In this game, you can use the stone you have turned upside down as your own, and compete for which stone is more at the end of the game. In the conventional reverse game, the opponent's stone can only be turned over if it is sandwiched between the stone already placed on the game board and the stone hit by the player. Therefore, if the corners of the four corners or the outermost row were held down, the stone could no longer be turned over, and the development of the game was very limited, and there was a problem that it was interesting.

[0003]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problem that the development of the game is restricted.

[0004]

In order to achieve the above object, a virtual frame and a virtual stone which are temporarily generated during the progress of the game and which disappear temporarily are introduced. The virtual frame and the virtual stone are frames and stones that are temporarily generated so as to surround the game frame on the game board or on the display further outside the game frame. Virtual stones occur to fill the virtual frame. The virtual stone occurs as the same type of stone as the player hit, and the player can flip a different type of stone between the stone he hit and the virtual stone. The virtual frame and the virtual stone once appearing disappear temporarily when the hand hit by the player is determined and the opponent's turn comes. When the opponent hits the stone, the virtual frame and the virtual stone are generated again as a new virtual frame and virtual stone. Thus, a new virtual frame and a new virtual stone are generated each time the stone is alternately hit, and disappear each time the opponent's turn comes. By introducing virtual frames and virtual stones, it is now possible to easily turn over the corners and outermost stones that connect to the corners that could not be turned over in the conventional reverse game, greatly increasing the possibility of game development Be able to increase.

[0005]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A virtual frame and a virtual stone are generated by a player hitting a stone so as to surround the game frame further around the game frame. Virtual stones occur as the same type of stone as the player hits. Players can flip a different type of stone between the stone they hit and the virtual stone. The virtual frame and the virtual stone disappear when the move is confirmed and it is the opponent's turn. The generated virtual frame and virtual stone are displayed on the game board or display,
It is a rule to cancel the display when it disappears. The virtual frame and the virtual stone are desirably distinguishable from the game frame and the stone, but may have the same shape as the game frame and the stone if there is no problem in the progress of the game. However, displaying and erasing the virtual frame each time may be troublesome. In this case, if the player can recognize the virtual frame, the virtual frame may be continuously displayed. Also, it is troublesome to arrange the virtual stones on the board every time they occur. In this case, if the player recognizes that there is no problem in proceeding with the game, the display of the virtual stone may be omitted. Also, the virtual frame may be omitted in the same manner. Therefore, the virtual frame and / or the virtual stone may not be displayed. If both the virtual frame and the virtual stone are not displayed, it may not be apparently distinguishable from the conventional reverse game. However, if the game proceeds according to the same rules as those using the virtual frame and the virtual stone, the game is considered to belong to the game using the present invention. As described above, the occurrence and display of the virtual frame or the virtual stone and the disappearance and non-display may not coincide with each other.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A square reverse game having four squares and four squares and using circular stones whose front and back sides are painted white and black separately will be described as an example. In FIG. 1, a frame for a game is indicated by 1, that is, a vertical line and a horizontal line of a solid line. Of the solid circles, those with white inside are white stones, and those that are black are black stones. The virtual frame is indicated by 2, that is, the vertical and horizontal straight lines of the dotted line. What is indicated by a dotted circle is a white virtual stone. A virtual frame and a white virtual stone were generated by placing the white stone indicated by 3. Figure 2. The black stone at the position 4 is between the white stone 3 and the white virtual stone 5, and the black stone at the position 6 is between the white stone 3 and the white virtual stone 7.
The black stone at the position 8 was between the white stone 3 and the white virtual stone 9, and the black stone at the position 10 was between the white stone 3 and the white virtual stone 11 at the position 12. The black stone was turned upside down and turned into a white stone because it was sandwiched between the white stone 3 and the white virtual stone 13. FIG. In this state, since the white move was confirmed, the opponent turned to turn, and the virtual frame and the virtual stone disappeared. FIG. The solid diagonal line inside the dotted circle is a black virtual stone. Since a black stone was hit at position 14, a virtual frame and a black virtual stone were generated.
Figure 5. The white stone at the position of 15 and 16 is between the black stone of 14 and the black virtual stone 17, and the white stone at the position of 18 is 1
Between the black stone 4 and the black virtual stone 19, the white stone at the position 20 is located, between the black stone 14 and the black virtual stone 21, the white stone at the position 22 is 14 black stones and the black Between the virtual stones 23, they were turned upside down and turned into black stones. FIG. In this state, since the black striker was confirmed, the turn turned to white, and the virtual frame and the virtual stone disappeared. FIG. This is a conventional reverse game without a virtual frame or virtual stone. The situation is the same as in FIG. 1, but the black stone cannot be turned over because there is no virtual stone. This black stone can never be white on the board alone, it remains until the end of the game. Here, a game board having four vertical cells and four horizontal cells has been described as an example, but the number and shape of the cells in the game panel are not particularly limited. Alternatively, a play may be performed with a stone placed at the intersection of a vertical line and a horizontal line, such as in a go, instead of in a square. Even in shapes other than squares, virtual frames and virtual stones are generated so as to surround the shape.

[0007]

The virtual frame and the virtual stone of the present invention are used as described above. The outermost stones, including the corner stones, can be easily turned over, so the progress of the game is very varied and you can enjoy a variety of developments. In the conventional reverse game, there was usually a restriction that an opponent's stone must be sandwiched, and a sandwiched stone must be turned over. However, if you make it possible to hit a stone at an arbitrary place and freely decide whether or not to flip the opponent's stone, you can expect a more complex game development by combining it with a virtual stone. If the same 19 horizontal 19 vertical boards are used, a much more diverse game development than Go is possible. Considering that Go is a game that also has pros, it is not impossible to turn this game into a pro, and in the future it is conceivable that it will become a large industry with many enthusiasts, including pros.
