Description

  The present invention relates to a puzzle game in which pieces with numbers and letters displayed on the squares of a board are arranged according to a predetermined rule.

  Currently, number puzzles called Number Place, Nampre, Sudoku, etc. are in fashion. This puzzle puts numbers 1 to 9 in each block, vertical column, and horizontal column in a square frame of 9x9 vertical and horizontal, divided into vertical and horizontal 3x3 blocks. There are a number of specialized magazines that are serialized in newspapers and magazines. Normally, this puzzle is answered by writing numbers with blank pencils on the blank squares on which the squares and questions are printed, but in order to save the trouble of writing and erasing the numbers, the board and pieces are set as a set. Have also been devised (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

This puzzle has 81 squares in total, so it takes time even for adults to solve, and it was too difficult for children to do. To make it fun for children, it is possible to reduce the number of cells. Patent Document 2 discloses a set of a plurality of boards having different numbers of grids so that adults and children can enjoy it. However, the one described in the same document requires replacing the board or covering the board with a cover in order to change the difficulty level.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a first embodiment of a puzzle game board 1 of the present invention. This puzzle game board 1 has squares of 8 × 8 columns in the vertical and horizontal directions, and has a division line 2a that divides the whole square vertically into four and a division line 2b that divides into two horizontally. The entire square of 8 squares is defined as the first play area 3. The first game area 3 is divided into eight blocks 4 constituted by eight squares of 2 × 4 squares in vertical and horizontal directions by vertical and horizontal division lines 2a and 2b.
Further, in this puzzle game board 1, a 6 × 6 square area of 1 to 6 columns and 2 to 7 columns in the first game area 3 is defined as a second game area 5. The second game area 5 is color-coded from the first game area 3, and is divided into six blocks 6 each composed of six squares of vertical and horizontal 2 × 3 squares by vertical and horizontal division lines 2a and 2b.
Further, in this puzzle game board 1, a 4 × 4 square area of 3 to 6 columns and 3 to 6 columns in the second game area 5 is defined as a third game area 7. The third game area 7 is color-coded as the first and second game areas 3 and 5, and is divided into four blocks 8 constituted by four vertical and horizontal squares by vertical and horizontal division lines 2a and 2b. ing. The numbers attached to the edges of the board are for explanation, and are not necessarily required for the actual ones.

FIG. 2 shows an example of the piece 9 used for the puzzle performed on the puzzle game board 1. The piece 9 has one number 10 of 1 to 8 displayed on the front surface and the back surface, and the number 10 has a different color so that the front surface and the back surface can be distinguished. A protrusion 11 is formed on the back surface. As for the piece 9, eight pieces each displaying the numeral 10 of 1 to 8 are prepared, for a total of 64 pieces.
FIG. 3 shows a state in which the piece 9 is placed face up and face down on the grid of the board 1. The grid of the board 1 has a first recess 12 that fits on the outer periphery of the piece 9 and a second recess 13 that fits the protrusion 11 of the piece 9. When the piece 9 is placed face up, the outer periphery of the piece 9 and the projection 11 are fitted and positioned in the first and second recesses 12 and 13 so that the surface is flush with the surface of the board 1. When the piece 9 is placed face down, the outer periphery of the piece 9 is fitted and positioned in the first recess 12 and protrudes from the surface of the panel 1 by the amount of the protrusion 11. The numbers that are fixed when the puzzle is given are placed with the piece 9 facing up in the square, and when the solver places the piece 9, it is turned face down and placed in the square.

FIG. 4A shows an example of a question when a puzzle is played using the first game area 3, that is, the entire board, and FIG. 4B shows an example of an answer to this. The rules of the puzzle are the same as in the so-called number place, in which pieces 9 are placed so that one number from 1 to 8 is placed in each block 4 of vertical rows, horizontal rows, vertical and horizontal 2 × 4 squares. It is.
FIG. 5A shows an example of a question when a puzzle is played using the second game area 5, and FIG. 5B shows an example of an answer to this. In this case, 6 pieces of numbers 1 to 6 are used, and a total of 36 pieces 9 are used, and numbers 1 to 6 are assigned to each block 6 of vertical rows, horizontal rows, and vertical 2 × 3 squares. Place pieces to enter one by one.
FIG. 6 (a) shows an example of questions when a puzzle is played using the third game area 7, and FIG. 6 (b) shows an example of an answer to this. In this case, 4 pieces of numbers 1 to 4 are used, and a total of 16 pieces 9 are used, and numbers 1 to 4 are placed in each block 8 of vertical row, horizontal row, and vertical 2 × 2 square. Place pieces to enter one by one.

As described above, the puzzle game board 1 includes the first game area 3, the second game area 5, and the third game area 7 having a different total number of squares on one board surface. , 5 and 7 can be used to easily create puzzles with different levels of difficulty and enjoy puzzles from adults to children. The game areas 3, 5, and 7 are color-coded, and the game areas 3, 5, and 7 are arranged so as to share the dividing lines 2a and 2b, so that the game areas 3, 5, and 7 can be easily recognized. Yes, it is equally easy to use puzzles in any of the game areas 3, 5, and 7.
The puzzle problem may be created by each player, but if a booklet with many puzzle problems printed in each of the play areas 3, 5, and 7 is sold as a set with the board 1 and the piece 9, It is convenient that the person who bought it can do the puzzle immediately.

What is displayed on the piece 9 is not limited to numbers but may be characters or figures. In FIG. 7 (a), the characters "Spring", "Summer", "Autumn", and "Winter" are displayed on the piece 9, and the four-character idiom "Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter" An example of questions and answers when arranged in a row are shown.

In addition, it is embedded in a recess 24 formed in the grid of the board 1 so as to be freely rotatable, and the numeral 10 can be changed by rotating the piece 9. In this way, it is not necessary to place or take the piece 9 on the grid of the board 1 one by one, and it is convenient because the puzzle game can proceed while checking each number. The number 10 is set to 0 to 8 when the square of the board 1 is 8 × 8 squares, and the number 10 is set to 0 to 9 when the square of the board 1 is 9 × 9 squares. “0” is displayed as the blank cell number 10 when the puzzle is presented. Further, the piece 9 has a rotating disk 21 on one side, and the rotating disk 21 has a plurality of grooves 22 formed around it, and can be easily rotated by moving the rotating disk 21 with a finger. Further, when the piece 9 is slid sideways as shown in FIG. 9 (d), the projection 23 formed on the board 1 is engaged with the groove 22 of the rotating board 21, and the piece 9 cannot be rotated. Can be confirmed. The piece 9 may be spherical.

FIG. 10 shows a second embodiment of the puzzle game board 1 of the present invention. This puzzle game board 1 has squares of 6 × 6 columns in the vertical and horizontal directions, and has division lines 2a that divide the entire squares vertically into three, and division lines 2b that divide into two horizontally.
