The game is played when two players alternately move different types of pieces 2 and 3 on the game board 1 or reverse each other.

  Of the two types of pieces 2 and 3, one piece 2 is a white piece 2 having a white circular shape. Different numbers from 1 to 30 are attached in black on the front side, and the back side is white. Thus, the same type of white piece 2 has the same appearance. The other piece 3 is a black piece 3 having a black circular shape, and different numbers from 1 to 30 are assigned in white on the front side in association with the numbers of the white piece 2, and the back side is The black black color 3 has the same appearance between the black pieces 3 of the same type.

  Note that the shape of the game board 1 is not limited to a square, and can be changed to any shape. The shape of the grid 4 is not limited to a square, and can be freely changed to a triangle, hexagon, circle, or the like. Furthermore, the number of cells is not limited to the number described above, and can be freely changed. Furthermore, the game board 1 may be formed so as to be foldable or roundable. In this case, the portability is further improved, and the game board 1 can be easily carried to a destination. Furthermore, the number, shape, and color of the two types of pieces 2 and 3 are not limited to the above-described case, and a plurality of pieces, the same number, and the same type of pieces have a size relationship on the surface side. It has a different number display symbol for application to the rule, and has the same or similar appearance for arranging pieces in a free position on the game board so that the opponent does not know the back side, between different kinds of pieces Then, various modifications are possible as long as the same number display symbols are attached in association with each other on the front side and the back side has a different appearance. Note that the “number display symbol” mentioned here includes not only numbers but also all characters that represent numbers using letters, symbols, symbols, figures, pictures, etc. Can be distinguished at a glance if it is a normal adult, but it can be distinguished at a glance by a normal adult. It also includes cases where they are similar to the extent that they are difficult to distinguish. And when the back side of the same kind of piece is similar in the latter sense, the playground equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention is also used as an educational toy for an infant and a playground equipment for preventing dementia of the elderly. be able to.

  Further, there are two pieces of the same box 5, and any material and shape can be used as long as they are opaque and can be hidden from the opponent.

  Next, a first game method for a playground equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 2 is a plan view showing an example of the arrangement of each piece at the start of the game in the first game method of the play equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 shows how to move the pieces in the first game method of the play equipment. FIG. 4 is a plan view showing another example of the arrangement of each piece at the start of the game in the first game method of the play equipment, and FIG. 5 is still another example of each piece at the start of the game in the first game method of the play equipment. It is a top view which shows the example of arrangement | positioning.

  First, as shown in FIG. 2, each player places 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 on the back side so that their numbers are not known to each other, and one row on both sides of the game board 1. Arbitrarily juxtaposed on each cell 4 in the third row from the eye. In that case, numbers are strategically arranged so that the game development is advantageous to me. After that, all the pieces 2 and 3 are turned to the front side so that the numbers can be seen, and the player who has selected the black piece 3 starts the game first.

  As shown in FIG. 3, each piece 3 (the black piece 3 is shown in FIG. 3, but the white piece 2 is also the same) has a square 4 in the front and back in both the vertical and horizontal directions and the diagonally front and rear directions. Alternatively, as long as the opponent's piece 2 can be picked, it can proceed in any number of squares. The case where one's piece 3 can take the opponent's piece 2 is when the number of his / her piece 3 is one larger than the number of the opponent's piece 2 and the number of the opponent's piece 2 is 30. Can be taken when the number of the piece 3 is 1.

  When the opponent's piece 2 is picked up, the player advances the player's piece 3 to the square 4 and holds the opponent's piece 2 in his storage box 5 until the end of the game. As long as you keep taking the opponent's piece 2, you can play the game continuously. At this time, the player's piece 3 may be moved not only for taking the opponent's piece 2 but also for the purpose of preventing the opponent's piece 3 from being taken by the opponent as a defense against the opponent's attack.

  If the first player cannot take the opponent's piece 2, then the second player moves the white piece 2, and thereafter, in the same procedure as described above, When the player alternately moves each of the pieces 2 and 3 and neither of them can take the opponent's pieces 2 and 3, the game ends, and the game with the larger number of pieces 2 and 3 remaining on the game board 1 is played. The winner of the game.

  In the first game method described above, 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 are arranged at the start of the game, respectively. However, as shown in FIG. The individual white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 are placed on the back side and arbitrarily juxtaposed on the first and second rows 4 on both sides of the game board 1 or, as shown in FIG. Even if the game is started after the 10 white pieces 2 and the black pieces 3 with numbers from 10 to 10 are placed on the back side and arbitrarily placed in the squares 4 in the first row on both sides of the game board 1 Good. Further, at the start of the game, the pieces 2 and 3 are not juxtaposed with the squares 4 in the first to third rows on both sides of the game board 1 as described above, but on the squares 4 on the game board 1. It may be arranged arbitrarily over the whole.

  Next, the second game method of the playground equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 1 and FIGS. Here, FIG. 6 is a plan view showing an example of the arrangement of each piece at the start of the game in the second game method of play equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 7 shows how to move the pieces in the second game method of play equipment. FIG. 8 is a plan view showing another example of the arrangement of each piece at the start of the game in the second game method of the play equipment, and FIG. 9 is still another example of each piece at the start of the game in the second game method of the play equipment. It is a top view which shows the example of arrangement | positioning.

  First, as shown in FIG. 6, in the order of the player who selected the black piece 3 and then the player who selected the white piece 2, each of the 30 white pieces 2 and the black piece 3 alternately with each other as their opponents. Arranged arbitrarily on each cell 4 on the game board 1 on the back side so that the numbers of the pieces are not known. In that case, numbers are strategically arranged so that the game development is advantageous to me. After that, all the pieces 2 and 3 are turned to the front side so that the numbers can be seen, and the player who has selected the black piece 3 starts the game first.

  As shown in FIG. 7, each piece 3 (the black piece 3 is shown in FIG. 7, but the white piece 2 is also the same) has a square 4 in the front, back, left, right, and diagonal directions. Alternatively, as long as the opponent's piece 2 can be picked, it can be advanced by one square. The case where one's piece 3 can take the opponent's piece 2 is when the number of his / her piece 3 is one larger than the number of the opponent's piece 2 and the number of the opponent's piece 2 is 30. Can be taken when the number of the piece 3 is 1.

  When the opponent's piece 2 is picked up, the player advances the player's piece 3 to the square 4 and holds the opponent's piece 2 in his storage box 5 until the end of the game. As long as you keep taking the opponent's piece 2, you can play the game continuously. At this time, the player's piece 3 may be moved not only for taking the opponent's piece 2 but also for the purpose of preventing the opponent's piece 3 from being taken by the opponent as a defense against the opponent's attack.

  If the first player cannot take the opponent's piece 2, then the second player moves the white piece 2, and thereafter, in the same procedure as described above, When the player alternately moves each of the pieces 2 and 3 and neither of them can take the opponent's pieces 2 and 3, the game ends, and the game with the larger number of pieces 2 and 3 remaining on the game board 1 is played. The winner of the game.

  In the second game method described above, 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 are arranged at the start of the game, respectively, but as shown in FIG. Arrange the white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 arbitrarily on the back side, or, as shown in FIG. 9, 10 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 with numbers 1 to 10 on the front side respectively. Then, the game may be started after arbitrarily arranging them. Further, at the start of the game, the pieces 2 and 3 are not arbitrarily arranged on the game board 1 as described above, but are arbitrarily juxtaposed in the respective squares 4 in the first to third rows on both sides of the game board 1. You may let them.

  Next, a third game method of the playground equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 10 is a plan view showing an example of the arrangement of each piece at the start of the game in the third game method for playground equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIGS. 11 and 12 are pieces of pieces in the third game method for playground equipment. FIG. 13 is a plan view showing how to move each piece at the end of the game in the third game method of the play equipment.

  First, as shown in FIG. 10, each player places 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 on the back side so that their numbers are not known to each other, and one row on both sides of the game board 1. Arbitrarily juxtaposed on each cell 4 in the third row from the eye. In that case, numbers are strategically arranged so that the game development is advantageous to me. After that, all the pieces 2 and 3 are turned to the front side so that the numbers can be seen, and the player who has selected the black piece 3 starts the game first.

  As shown in FIG. 11, each piece 3 (the black piece 3 is shown in FIG. 11, but the white piece 2 is also the same) is, as a general rule, vacated by the square 4 in the front or diagonally forward direction. You can advance by one square only if you are. However, the piece 3 or the opponent's piece 2 is lined up in a direction in which the piece 3 is to be moved, and the numbers of all the pieces 2 and 3 in the line are those of the piece 3 to be moved. If it is less than the number, you can jump over all the pieces 2 and 3 in line. For example, as shown in FIG. 12, the white piece 2 with the number 16 can jump over the white pieces 2 and 2 with the numbers 12 and 7, and the black piece 3 with the number 15 is the black pieces with the numbers 8 and 6. The black piece 3 with the number 18 cannot jump over the black pieces 3 and 3 with the numbers 11 and 20.

  After the preceding player has moved the black piece 3 in the above procedure, the next player has moved the white piece 2, and in the same procedure thereafter, each player alternately turns each piece 2 , 3 is moved. At this time, if one of the players cannot move the piece at all, the other player can continue to move the piece until one player can move the piece. And as shown in FIG. 13, the player who moved all the pieces 2 and 3 to the opponent's base first becomes the winner of the game.

  In the third game method described above, 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 are arranged at the start of the game, respectively. However, 20 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 each having a number from 1 to 20 on the surface side are arranged. 10 white pieces 2 with the numbers 1 to 10 on the front side, or arbitrarily placed in parallel with the first and second rows 4 of the game board 1 on the back side. The game may be started after arbitrarily placing the black pieces 3 on the back side and juxtaposing them on the cells 4 in the first row on both sides of the game board 1.

  Next, a fourth game method for a playground equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIG. 14 is a plan view showing an example of arrangement of each piece at the start of the game in the fourth game method of the play equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention.

  First, as shown in FIG. 14, in order of the player who selected the white piece 2 and the player who selected the black piece 3, the 30 white pieces 2 and the black piece 3 are alternately set to their own opponents. Arranged arbitrarily over the entire square 4 on the game board 1 on the back side so that the numbers of the pieces are not known. In that case, numbers are strategically arranged so that the game development is advantageous to me. When both have finished placing the pieces, the player who placed the white pieces 2 starts the game with the first piece in a state where all the pieces 2 and 3 are on the back side.

  The player who placed the white piece 2 selects one arbitrary black piece 3 on the opponent side, turns it over to the front side, and checks whether the number is the maximum number 30 or not. And if the number of the black piece 3 is 30, take the black piece 3 and hold it in your storage box 5 and select one arbitrary black piece 3 on the other side, turn it over, and the number is the next Check if the maximum number is 29. In this way, the game can be played continuously as long as the maximum number piece 3 is continuously applied.

  If the first player cannot hit the maximum number of the opponent's piece 3, turn the piece 3 upside down again, and then the second player can choose the opponent's arbitrary number. Select the white piece 2 and turn it over to the front side, and then apply the maximum number of the white piece 2 in the same procedure as described above, and when one of the players finishes hitting the minimum number 1, The game ends, and the player who hits the minimum number 1 first wins the game.

  In the fourth game method described above, 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 are arranged at the start of the game, respectively, but 20 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 with numbers 1 to 20 are arranged on the back side. The game may be started after the 10 white pieces 2 and the black pieces 3 with numbers 1 to 10 are arbitrarily arranged on the back side.

  Next, a fifth game method for a playground equipment according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. Here, FIG. 15 is a plan view showing an example of the arrangement of each piece at the start of the game in the fifth game method of play equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 16 shows how to move the pieces in the fifth game method of play equipment. FIG.

  First, as shown in FIG. 15, each player puts 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 on the back side so that their numbers are not known to each other, and one row on both sides of the game board 1 Arbitrarily juxtaposed on each cell 4 in the third row from the eye. In that case, numbers are strategically arranged so that the game development is advantageous to me. When both have finished placing the pieces, the player who has selected the black piece 3 with all the pieces 2 and 3 on the back side starts the game first.

  As shown in FIG. 16, each piece 3 (the black piece 3 is shown in FIG. 16, but the white piece 2 is also the same) has a square 4 in the front, back, left and right and diagonally forward and backward. Alternatively, as long as the opponent's piece 2 can be picked up, it can be advanced by one square. Also, the case where own piece 3 can take opponent's piece 2 is when the number of own piece 3 is larger than the number of opponent's piece 2 and the numbers of both pieces 2 and 3 are the same. As a result of the draw, both pieces 2 and 3 are removed from the game board 1, and the opponent pieces 2 and 3 are held in their respective storage boxes. However, when the number of the opponent's piece 2 is 30, it can be taken when the number of its own piece 3 is 1. Before moving the pieces, you can freely look into the numbers of each piece.

When the opponent's piece 2 is picked up, the player moves the player's piece 3 to the front side 4 with the player's piece 3 facing up, and the player who picks up the opponent's piece 2 keeps his opponent's piece 2 in his storage box until the game ends. Hold at 5. On the other hand, if your piece 3 is smaller than the number of the opponent's piece 2, put the opponent's piece 2 on the front side and return it to the original square 4, pass your piece 3 to your opponent, and hold it in your opponent's storage box 5 Let At this time, the player's piece 3 may be moved not only for taking the opponent's piece 2 but also for the purpose of preventing the opponent's piece 3 from being taken by the opponent as a defense against the opponent's attack.
After the preceding player has moved the black piece 3 in the above procedure, the next player has moved the white piece 2, and in the same procedure, each player alternately turns each piece 2 and 3 on. Move the game and proceed with the game while the numbers hidden in the opponent's base are inferring one piece, and either player takes the piece with the opponent's number 1 or remains on the game board 1 When there are only 2 opponent's pieces, the game ends and the player who takes the number 1 of the opponent's number or who has only 2 opponent's pieces remaining on the game board 1 is Become the winner of the game.

  In the fifth game method described above, 30 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 are arranged at the start of the game, respectively, but 20 white pieces 2 and black pieces 3 each having a number from 1 to 20 on the front side are arranged. 10 white pieces 2 with the numbers 1 to 10 on the front side, or arbitrarily placed in parallel with the first and second rows 4 of the game board 1 on the back side. The game may be started after arbitrarily placing the black pieces 3 on the back side and juxtaposing them on the cells 4 in the first row on both sides of the game board 1.

  Further, the first to fifth game methods of the play equipment according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention are merely examples, and for example, the game is progressed with all pieces on the back side, and one piece of black and white for each battle. Flip each one to the front side so that if your number is larger than the number of your opponent's piece, you can take the opponent's piece, or proceed with the game with all the pieces on the back side, Turn over to the front side to match the numbers, or pin the opponent's piece with your own piece and take the opponent's piece with a number that is the same as or between the numbers of your piece, Various settings can be made, such as setting an arrangement and a stop combination and competing for the number of pieces arranged from 1 to a number.

  As described above, the playground equipment according to the embodiment of the present invention uses the world-wide rule of “number” or “number” on the surface side of the piece, and rules for holding the piece and moving the piece. Incorporating two technical elements of “number or number magnitude relationship” at the same time and applying it to the game, it is possible to train the left brain thinking ability.

  In addition, regarding the back side of the piece, the appearance of the same kind of pieces is made the same or similar so that they cannot be distinguished from other pieces. In all the above game methods, the basic rule for arranging pieces is to arrange all pieces first with the back side up. You can arrange the pieces in any position on the game board so that you do not know the number display symbol of your piece. In other words, when arranging the pieces, the sixth sense influences the game win / loss, and when the battle starts, the left brain thinking ability and the like influence the game win / loss.

In the first and second game methods described above, the game is set so that the opponent's piece can be taken only when the number display symbol of the player's piece is one larger than the number display symbol of the opponent's piece in the piece arrangement. Since there is a possibility that the pieces can be held at the same time everywhere on the board, it is possible to develop spatial recognition ability and left brain thinking ability. In the third game method described above, the left brain thinking ability can be trained. Furthermore, in the fourth game method described above, it is possible to train memory ability and a sixth sense. Furthermore, in the fifth game method described above, it is possible to train reasoning power and a sixth sense.
Therefore, according to the play equipment according to the above-described embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to obtain an effect that it is possible to train the sixth sense, the space recognition ability, the reasoning ability, and the like that are not necessary in existing play equipment.
