  Further, the shape of the game board 18 is not limited to a square, and can be set to any shape. The shape of the grid 17 is not limited to a square, and can be freely set to a triangle, a hexagon, a circle, and the like. The number of 17 can also be set freely.

  Furthermore, the multi-functional piece may have a composite appearance composed of elements composed of number display symbols and elements other than the number display symbols whose change order is set in advance. The “multifunctional piece” as used herein includes one or more elements, and the player can set various change orders and change methods for the included elements. The piece can be changed freely. Accordingly, the multi-functional piece 19 includes only one element 21 and includes, for example, a plurality of elements 21 from a relatively simple game in which only the shape, color, or number of the piece 19 is changed. Thus, it is possible to set a different change order and change method for each element 21 to cope with even a sophisticated game in which the change of the appearance of each piece 19 is more complicated. The types of “elements” mentioned here include all kinds of shapes such as the shape of the piece 19, the color of the piece 19, the design of the piece 19, and the design of the piece 19 includes characters, symbols, symbols, Includes figures and pictures. Furthermore, “number display symbol” includes not only numbers but also everything that represents numbers using letters, symbols, signs, figures, pictures, etc., and “composite appearance” It is an appearance including a plurality of the above elements. For example, as shown in FIG. 7 to FIG. 9, a numerical display symbol (element 1 in the drawing) and an alphabet other than the numerical display symbol (elements in the drawing) 2), including all identifiable elements such as special characters (element 3 in the figure), figures (element 4 in the figure), and the like. The change processing may be set to be performed in the order as shown in FIG. In addition, when the area 20 is designated, it is possible to designate each piece 19 and designate all the elements 21 of each piece 19 at a time. Furthermore, at that time, the type of the element 21 is designated and specified. It is also possible to set the basic conditions of the game so that the change process can be performed only on the element 21.

  Furthermore, as a form of the electronic game method according to the present invention, a form in which one human player and a fictitious player on the electronic game program 8 side use one display 5 to play a game, A plurality of players who share the same display 5 (hereinafter, “player” includes a fictitious player on the electronic game program 8 side) playing a game, or using a plurality of displays 5 Then, a mode in which a plurality of players in the vicinity play a game and a mode in which a player in a distant place using a plurality of displays 5 connected via a communication network network play a game, A player can select one of the game forms by an operation from the input device 6, and the number of players can be arbitrarily set.

  In the above-described playground equipment, a play order display area for displaying the type of each element 21 of the multi-functional piece 19 selected for each player is displayed around the game board 18 on the display 5. When the order of the player is reached, the color of the game order display area changes or blinks to notify the player of the order.

  In addition, there are many types of electronic games that can be played using the electronic game machine 1, and the player can select from the games provided in advance, or according to the rules arbitrarily set by the player himself / herself. You can play electronic games.

  Next, an electronic game method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

Here, FIG. 10 is a plan view showing an example of arrangement of multi-functional pieces at the start of the game in the electronic game method according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a state immediately before changing the elements of the pieces at once, FIG. 12 is a plan view showing a state immediately after changing the elements of the multi-functional pieces in the area in the electronic game method, and FIG. It is a top view which shows the state of the multifunction piece at the time of a game end.

  A player (human) uses the input device 6 to select an electronic game according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Further, the number of players, the shape of the game board 18, the shape of the grid 17, and the grid 17 The number of multi-functional pieces 19, the elements of the composite appearance of the multi-functional pieces 19 (number display symbols and colors) and change rules, the size of the area 20 that can be specified, and the number of change processes until the game ends. When input, the basic condition is set by the basic condition setting means 9 to nine players in the illustrated example, the game board 18 and the square 17 are square, and 289 squares 17 (17 rows and 17 columns). Furthermore, the number of multi-functional pieces 19 is set to 81, and the number display symbol is set to a number of 1 to 9, and the number display symbol is incremented by 5 each time specified in the area 20 to change the number display symbol. It is set so that the color of the multi-functional piece 19 is also changed in synchronization.Further, the size of the area 20 that can be specified is set to only 5 rows and 5 columns, and the number of change processes until the end of the game is set to 10 times for each player. In this case, the number of the number display symbol of the multi-functional piece 19 is not necessarily set to the same number as the number of players.

  Next, when each player selects a multi-function piece 19 with a different number display symbol from among the multi-function pieces 19 including the number display symbols 1 to 9, as shown in FIG. The game board 18 is displayed on the display 5 by the game board control means 10, and the multi-functional piece 19 on which the different number display symbols 1 to 9 are displayed by the piece arrangement control means 11 is equal to each player. In this way, nine game pieces are arranged at the initial positions, spaced apart from each other by 1 square, and the game order display area 22 for displaying the player's play order is displayed around it, and then the game can be started. Is done.

  In this state, for example, as shown in FIG. 11, the first player designates one area A, and the area designation permission means 12 determines that this area A is an area of 5 rows and 5 columns. If determined, the designation of the area A is permitted. The area can be designated for the grid 17 at this time, and an area with a small number of multi-functional pieces 19 can be designated, or an area with a large number of multi-functional pieces 19 can be designated. Can be done. Then, the numbers (2, 3, 5, 6, 8, 9 in FIG. 11) of the multi-functional pieces 19 included in the area A in which the designation is permitted in this way are collectively made by the element changing means 14 respectively. (When the maximum number of 9 is reached, it returns to the minimum number of 1). As a result, as shown in FIG. 12, the number of each multi-functional piece 19 is 7, 8, 1 , 2, 4 and 5.

  On the other hand, if the area designation permission means 12 determines that the area designated by the player is not an area of 5 rows and 5 columns, a voice or visual warning is issued to the player. Again, you are prompted to specify the area.

  Thereafter, each player designates an area in accordance with a preset game order, the game is continued, and the match result determination means 15 sets the number of times the area is designated by each player in advance (in this case, each The game is finished when it is determined that it has reached 10 times for each player, and the ranking of the players is made in the order of the player with the largest total number of elements 21 (numbers) selected at the end of the game. The result is displayed on the display 5.

  For example, when the game is ended in the state of FIG. 13, the player who has selected the multi-functional piece including the number “8” in the order of the player with the largest total number of the selected elements 21 (numbers). This multi-functional piece occupies about 19% (15) of the entire effective cell (81), and the second place is a player who has selected the multi-functional piece including the number “5”. It occupied 14% (11) of the total effective squares (81), and the third place in the same ratio selected the player who selected the multi-functional piece including the number “1” and the multi-functional piece including the number “9”. These multi-functional pieces are the players who occupy about 12% (10 pieces) of the total effective squares (81 pieces), and the fifth place is the player who selected the multi-functional pieces including the number “2”. Multifunctional pieces occupy about 11% (9 pieces) of the total effective squares (81 pieces), and the sixth place with the same number is “6” A player who has selected a multi-functional piece including the number of these, these multi-functional pieces each occupy about 9% (7) of the entire effective square (81), the lowest in the same rate includes the number of "4" A player who has selected a multi-functional piece and a player who has selected a multi-functional piece including the number “7”. These multi-functional pieces each occupy about 7% (6) of the entire effective square (81). Are displayed on the display 5 respectively.

  In the electronic game method according to the first embodiment described above, the number of players is 9, the shape of the game board 18 and the cells 17 is square, the number of all cells 17 is 289, and the number of effective cells is The description has been given by taking as an example the case where 81 and nine types of external appearances of the multi-functional piece 19 are 1 to 9 and nine multi-functional pieces of each appearance are arranged, but this is merely an example, The basic conditions of can be arbitrarily changed.

  Next, an electronic game method according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. Here, FIG. 14 is a plan view showing an example of the arrangement of multi-functional pieces at the start of the game in the electronic game method according to the second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG.

It is a top view which shows the state of the multifunction piece at the time of a game end.

  A player (human) uses the input device 6 to select an electronic game according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Further, the number of players, the shape of the game board 18, the shape of the grid 17, and the grid 17 , Number of multi-functional pieces 19, elements of composite appearance of multi-functional pieces 19 (number display symbols, alphabets, special characters, graphics) and change rules, size of area 20 that can be specified, change processing until the end of the game The basic condition is set by the basic condition setting means 9 in the example shown in the figure, the number of players is four, the game board 18 and the square 17 are square, and the square 17 is 16 (four rows and four). In addition, a multi-function piece 19 composed of numbers 1 to 8 and letters A to F, special characters, and figures is arranged in each cell. Further, the size of the area 20 that can be specified is set to only 2 rows and 2 columns, and the number of change processes until the game ends is set to 20 times for each player. In this case, the number of types of appearance of the multi-functional piece 19 is not necessarily set to the same number as the number of players.

  Next, when each player selects the multi-functional piece 19 including different elements 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d (number display symbols, alphabets, special characters, graphics), as shown in FIG. A game board 18 is displayed on the display 5 by the game board control means 10, and different elements 21 a, 21 b, 21 c, 21 d are displayed by the piece arrangement control means 11 so as to be equal to each player. The multi-functional pieces 19 are arranged at an initial position with a predetermined distance from each other, and a game order display area 22 for displaying the player's play order is displayed around the multi-function pieces 19, and the game can be started. Is done.

  In this state, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, the first player designates one area D, and the area designation permission means 12 determines that this area D is an area of 2 rows and 2 columns. If judged, the designation of the area D is permitted. The area can be designated for the grid 17 at this time, and an area with a small number of multi-functional pieces 19 can be designated, or an area with a large number of multi-functional pieces 19 can be designated. Can be done. Then, the four elements 21a, 21b, 21c, and 21d of each multi-functional piece 19 included in the area D that is permitted to be designated in this manner are collectively collected by the element changing means 14 according to the changing order of FIG. It is incremented by one (see FIG. 16).

  On the other hand, if the area designation permission means 12 determines that the area designated by the player is not an area of 2 rows and 2 columns, an audio or visual warning is issued to the player. Again, you are prompted to specify the area.

  Thereafter, each player designates an area in accordance with a preset game order, the game is continued, and the match result determination means 15 sets the number of times the area is designated by each player in advance (in this case, each The game is ended when it is determined that it has reached 20 times for each player, and each element 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d selected at the end of the game (number display symbol, alphabet, special character, figure) The players are ranked in descending order of the total number of players, and the results are displayed on the display 5.

  For example, when the game is ended in the state of FIG. 17, the player 1 is first in the order of the player with the largest total number of the selected elements 21a, 21b, 21c, 21d, and the player 2 has selected. The total number of each element occupies about 23% (15) of the total number of all elements (64), and the second place is the player 3, and the total number of each element selected by the player 3 is the total number of the elements. It accounts for about 17% (11) of the total number (64), and the third place is the player 4, and the total number of each element selected by the player 4 is about 16% of the total number of all elements (64) (10), the lowest is the player 1, and the total number of each element selected by the player 1 occupies about 14% (9) of the total number of elements (64) Are respectively displayed on the display 5.

  In the electronic game method according to the second embodiment described above, the number of players is four, the shape of the game board 18 and the square 17 is square, the number of all squares 17 is 16, and each multi-functional piece 19 Although there are 960 types, a case has been described as an example where 16 multi-functional pieces 19 are arranged, one for each of them, each of which displays 16 types of typical appearances.
