DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A game device according to the present invention has a flat board having a plurality of rotating supports, and is arranged in a matrix on the board, and is manually supported by the rotating supports. A plurality of display pieces provided so as to be able to rotate,
It has. In other words, the pivoting support portions arranged in a matrix on the flat plate-shaped body only need to support the display frame so that it can be easily pivoted manually. Good thing. For example, if the display piece is a sphere, a concave portion having a shape corresponding to this is formed,
It is preferable that the display piece can be easily rotated simply by placing the display piece here. Then, it is possible to easily and quickly display the display frame body by reversing the rotation with, for example, a fingertip.

[0012] Each of the display pieces is provided with a plurality of identifiable identifications, and the identifications include a front display assigned to each player and a back display common to each player. . The purpose of providing a plurality of identification displays on the display frame is to easily identify that the player in play is the display frame of another player. You can set it arbitrarily. For example, it is preferable to divide the outer peripheral surface of the spherical display piece into approximately six equal parts and color-divide and color each section with a different color, so that the visibility is high and it is preferable. It is preferable that at least one of the identification displays is a common back display, which is a color to which no front display is assigned, is the same color as the board surface of the board, and the entire board surface is the same color. That is, a state in which the color of the front display when the piece is rotated and inverted with respect to the board surface can be easily identified can be displayed. In the identification display, it is not necessary to color the entire section, for example, it may be colored in a dot shape. In addition, a plurality of symbols or characters may be described at intervals on the outer peripheral surface so as to be identifiable.

A cover having an opening through which only the front display and the rear display of the display frame can be exposed to the outside and visually viewed is fitted to the board. Since the lid covers the board except for the identification display portion, the table display adjacent to the selected table display is not exposed, so that the display contents are clear, the visual identification is easy, and the user can concentrate on the game. The exposed portion of the display frame can be pushed and rotated with a fingertip to change the display. If the front display and the back display can be visually recognized, the shape of the opening may be arbitrarily formed, and an opening shape slightly smaller than the display frame and conforming to the shape of the front display or the back display is preferable. It is not limited to this depending on the mode. For example, if openings are formed in a circular shape at positions corresponding to display pieces arranged in a matrix on a flat plate having the same shape as the board, processing of the lid is easy and production costs are kept low. Further, since the display piece is pressed by the lid, the display piece does not come off, so that it is easy to carry, store, and clean up, and it is possible to prevent loss.

Further, the display piece has a curved rolling surface, and the rotation support portion is provided on the board, and rotatably receives the rolling face of the display piece. Consisting of recesses to obtain.
As the rolling surface, a surface formed with a series of curved surfaces orbiting the outer periphery represented by, for example, a sphere, a cylinder, or a barrel is suitable for rotation. If it is formed in the concave portion corresponding to the curved rolling surface of the display frame, it can be easily rotated, and can be rotated stably with the display frame accommodated, and the waiting for the turn A sense of speed can be obtained even when a plurality of long players compete. In short, the rotation support portion is formed by forming a recess that can be rotatably operated corresponding to the rolling surface of the display frame. Alternatively, for example, a configuration may be adopted in which a support shaft is provided on the display frame and pivoted around the shaft while being supported.

One or a plurality of support projections are protrudingly provided in the recessed portion to support the rolling surface of the display piece in a point-contact manner and assist the rotation of the display piece. By reducing the supporting area in contact with the rolling surface of the contact point in a point contact manner, it is possible to reduce sliding resistance and lightly rotate. It is preferable that about 1 to 4 support projections are provided so that the display frame is supported only by the tip of the support projection and floated. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, a mechanism may be used in which a plurality of rotatable balls are incorporated in the recess, and the display piece is placed and supported on the upper surface thereof.

Since the display frame is formed in a spherical shape, a spherical rolling surface is formed on the outer periphery of the display frame, so that the display frame is accommodated in a concave portion which can be rotatably received. Can be rotated in any direction. That is, the spherical rolling surface has no limitation on the direction of the rotation of the display frame, and can be arbitrarily rotated to change the identification display. Another feature of the sphere is that the entire outer periphery can be used as the display area, so that many identification displays can be displayed. In addition, other than a sphere, for example, a shape such as a cylindrical shape or a barrel shape can be identified and rotated. In this case, the display frame is rotated in a certain direction. Even in this state, if the identification display is rotated to an arbitrary position, it can be recognized and can be used as a display frame.

Further, the rotation support portion includes a support shaft protruding from the display frame and a shaft support portion rotatably supporting the support shaft, and the support shaft protruding from the display frame. Thereby, the display piece can be freely rotated around the axis around the shaft support. This support shaft is formed so as to project horizontally in a pair on both sides of the display frame, and can be stably supported by mounting it on a groove-shaped shaft support. The rotation direction is limited around the support shaft and the fingertip is used. Is easy to rotate and stop. The display change can be easily and easily made to the selected identification display, and the required time can be reduced even for a large number of display changes. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be a cantilevered support shaft or a configuration rotatable around a vertical axis. For example, if a support shaft is protruded from both end surfaces of a cylindrical body to support it, identification display can be displayed using the cylindrical surface as a display surface, and it is not possible to restrict rotation and stop at a fixed position. This is preferable because the display does not easily turn to another display.

It is arranged so that the part 12 is located. Further, a plurality of display frames 16 supported by the rotation support portion 12 and provided so as to be able to rotate manually are provided. In other words, the display frame 16 is pivotally operated while the board 14 is supported in a state where the board 14 is positioned in a cell partitioned like a grid. Further, for example, if the rotation support portions 12 located at the four corners of the board body 14 are not provided or not used, the game method of the Othello game can be widened.

As shown in FIGS. 3, 4, and 5, the display frame 16 is formed as a sphere 32 made of a hard synthetic resin or the like in this embodiment. Therefore, since the display piece 16 is a sphere having a hard surface, it can be easily rotated on the spot by pushing with a fingertip, and a hitting operation corresponding to the reversal of the piece can be performed quickly. The size and shape of the display frame are substantially limited by the size of the panel and the number of sections in which the rotation support portions 12 are provided. Since the spherical display piece 16 is easy to process and manufacture by molding, mass production is possible and the display piece 16 can be mass-produced.
Lower the cost of The display piece 16 may be formed in a hollow ball shape other than a solid sphere to reduce the weight, and may be formed in a cylindrical or barrel shape if it can be manually rotated. It is also possible to adopt a support structure that pivots and rotates. The material may be made of a soft synthetic resin, wood, paper, stone, light metal, or the like as long as the material is rigid enough to be pressed and rotated with a fingertip.

Each of the display frames 16 is provided with a plurality of identifiable identification displays 18, and the identification display 18 includes a front display 20 a individually assigned to each player P and a back display common to each player P. Display 20b. As shown in FIG. 6, if the outer peripheral surface of the spherical display piece 16 is divided into about six equal parts and each section is colored with a different color, the visibility is high, so that the displayed piece is prevented from being mistaken. it can. The back display 20b is colored and displayed in the same color as the board 14, so that it is easy to identify the front display 20a which is rotated and displayed on the board. As the identification display 18, in addition to the coloring, a plurality of various symbols and characters may be described at intervals and assigned to the outer peripheral surface to be assigned to the front display 20 a and the back display 20 b.
The spherical display frame 16 can be used as a display area without leaving the entire outer periphery, and a large number of table displays 20 a can be allocated as the identification display 18.

The display frame 16 has a curved rolling surface 26, and the rotation support section 12 is provided on the board 14, and the rolling surface 26 of the display frame 16 can roll freely. A concave portion 28 which can be received by 3, 4 and 5

As a result, the vehicle can be rotated on the spot, and a quick and stable rotation operation can be performed. Thus, the rotation support portion 12 can rotatably receive the display frame 16 and change the display of the display frame 16 easily. In addition, when the display piece 16 is cylindrical or barrel-shaped,
A concave portion 28 is formed by forming a curved inner peripheral surface 29 corresponding to this.

In the embodiment, the recess 28 has one
One or a plurality of support protrusions 30 are protrudingly provided to assist the rotation while supporting the rolling surface 26 of the display piece 16 in a point-contact manner, thereby making the rotation of the display piece 16 lighter. I have.
As shown in FIG. 4, four rod-shaped support protrusions 30 project from the inner peripheral surface 29 of the concave portion 28 at intervals. The distal end 30a of the rounded support projection 30 is formed so as to protrude substantially toward the center of the arc of the inner peripheral surface 29, that is, substantially toward the center of the supported display frame 16. Therefore, the display frame 16 received in the recess 28 is supported by the length of the support projection 30 so as to float above the inner peripheral surface 29 with a gap therebetween. Only the tip 30a of the support projection 30 is on the rolling surface 2
Since the display frame 16 is floatingly supported while sliding in a point-contact manner, the frictional resistance generated when the display frame 16 is turned is reduced, and the turning operation is extremely lightened.

If the display piece 16 is lightly pressed with a fingertip, the display piece 16 is rotated and the identification display 18 can be changed. Therefore, even in a battle between a plurality of players P, the waiting time can be reduced and the player can play the game quickly. Furthermore, after the match is over, the display piece 16 is rotated with a fingertip from the opening 22 to display the back display 20b, which is the same color as the surface color of the board 25, so that the next match can be performed quickly. Can be. The number of the support protrusions 30 is not limited to four as long as the support protrusions 30 support the display frame 16 while sliding in point contact with the rolling surface 26. In addition, for example, a plurality of pedestal-shaped projections may be provided in the recessed portion 28 and spheres or the like may be embedded in the projections so as to be able to roll, and the display frame 16 may be placed and supported.

The rolling surface 26 of the display frame 16 abuts against the edge 22a of the display frame 16 to limit the swing. Therefore, even if the player P rotates the display piece 16 in a rough manner during the battle to turn over, the display piece 16 does not jump out, and the display piece 16 is not lost during storage.
In this embodiment, the four-sided edge 25a of the board 25 is mounted on the stepped receiving portion 14a, but the fixing method of the board 25 is not particularly limited, such as fitting, screwing, and bonding. What is necessary is that it does not fall out of the board body 14 carelessly and that it can be easily disengaged.

On the surface of the board 25, a line L of a color different from the surface color of the board 25 is engraved or printed as a grid display, and the arrangement of the display frame 16 is changed. Easy to recognize. Further, since the surface of the back display 20b and the surface of the board board 25 are made the same color, for example, green, it is easy to distinguish from the color of the front display 20a assigned to each player P, and the display pieces of the color of the front display 20a arranged in rows are easily displayed. The display of the selected display frame 16 can be changed to another display by clearly viewing the body 16.

The identification display 18 of the display frame 16 may have a display mode as shown in FIG. 7 other than the above-described embodiment.
FIG. 7A shows a case where the outer peripheral surface of the display frame 16 is divided into approximately four equal parts. FIG. 7B shows a case where the area is similarly divided into three equal parts. The identification display 18 can be easily identified by coloring each section with a different color or applying an arbitrary pattern. The number of divisions is not limited to this, and may be increased or decreased according to the embodiment. FIG. 7C shows a case where symbols of a circle, a star, a triangle, and a square are displayed in each section of the display frame 16. In addition, for example, characters, numbers, and patterns may be displayed. In any case, the visibility of the identification display 18 is high, and it is possible to prevent the display error of the identification display 18 and the erroneous recognition of the displayed frame.

Next, an example of a rule for a game method in a case where the game apparatus 10 according to the present invention is played by four players, for example, will be described. First, the display frame 16 is rotated with the fingertip from the opening 22 to display the back display 20 b, which is the same color as the surface color of the board 25, in the opening 22. At the center of the board 25, the four assigned colors to the four players P are rotated as the front display 20a, respectively, and are reversed in the opening 22 to arrange the possessed pieces. The display frame 16 at the position where the player's possession can sandwich the opponent's possession with the player's possession in turn is inverted to the color possessed by the player P to change the display. Further, the display frame 16 sandwiched between them is inverted and rotated to the same color to change the display. The player P in the next order inverts the table display 20a to its own color and changes the color while holding the piece in the same manner.

When a player P has run out of possessed pieces, the player changes the display of the display frame 16 at any desired position between the opponent's possessed pieces to participate in the game. If the opponent's piece cannot be pinched even if there is a piece owned by the player, the player skips the order until the player can pinch the piece and passes. And
The match ends when all of the pieces on the board are inverted and changed to the colors possessed by each player P, and when all the players P can no longer hold the opponent's pieces, the match ends. At this point, the ranking is determined by the number of pieces on the board. The game method and general rules may be changed in addition to the above, and the local rules may be determined or revised at any time, such as not using the display frame 16 which occupies the corners of the board located at the four corners of the board 14, for example. The game can be played with a one-shot reversibility or the like.

Next, a game device 10a according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described. The same components as those in the previous embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in the figure, the game device 10a includes a flat board 40 having a plurality of rotating supports 12, and a plurality of the rotating supports 12 arranged on the board 40 in a matrix.
And a plurality of display frames 16 provided to be able to rotate manually by being supported by the display device. That is, the board 40
A display device 16 supported by a plurality of rotation support portions 12 arranged in a matrix is manually rotated to quickly change the display of the held pieces.

The board body 40 has a rectangular flat plate shape, and the center portion is recessed into a rectangular shape while leaving a four-sided edge portion 40a in a saucer shape.
8, and is formed of a hard synthetic resin or the like so as to have a height to rotatably support the display frame 16 in a state in which the display frame 16 is housed. In the present embodiment, the rotation supporting portion 12 is located at a substantially central portion of a section in which a plan view board body 40 is arranged in a matrix of eight columns and eight columns as shown in the figure. It is located to be. Since the rotary support portions 12 located at the four corners of the board 14 are not provided, the number of strong corners increases, and the game method of the Othello game can be widened. Then, the rotation support portion 1
2 and a plurality of display frames 16 provided so as to be manually rotatable. That is, display piece 1
Reference numeral 6 indicates that the board 14 is supported and rotated in a state where the board 14 is positioned in a cell partitioned like a grid.
