Description

  The present invention relates to a Go tool useful for a person who does not know Go at all, for example, a child, to play Go game and learn Go.

  Conventionally, it is known to play a Go game using a board for beginners such as a 9 road board and a 7 road board, where the number of lines drawn on the board is smaller than that of a normal 19 road board.

  A normal board is formed as a 19-road board with 19 orthogonal vertical and horizontal lines drawn on the board. In the game, the two players have black and white meteorites as vertical lines on the board. It is used in a game in which the area of the board is surrounded by the meteorites placed alternately at the intersection of the horizontal lines and the area of the enclosed area is competed.

  However, for those who do not know Go at all, for example, to help children learn the Go itself and the rules of Go, 9 or 7 roadbeds with fewer lines drawn than the usual 19 roadbeds, etc. It is said that it is appropriate to play an introductory Go game using the board.

  By the way, various games other than Go using a game board with a line drawn on the board are a form in which a game medium (meteorite-like object) is placed in a fence surrounded by a drawn line. The game media (meteorite) is not placed on the intersection of the drawn lines, so even if you use a board for beginners with a reduced number of lines, such as 7 road boards, A child who does not know at all often places a meteorite in a cage surrounded by lines.

  In addition, in the Go game, the number of meteorites (or the number of intersections) placed on them is counted in order to know the size of the area surrounded by their own meteorites. Since he is not accustomed to counting the number of intersections in the surrounding area, it takes time to calculate the number of intersections after the game, which may impair the fun of the Go game.

  However, we have devised not to place a meteorite in the fence surrounded by the line on the 9th and 7th bases where the number of board lines is said to be appropriate for beginners and beginners in Go. A Go tool including a Go board or a Go board that has been devised so that it is easy to count the score after the game is not found in the following prior art documents related to Go tools that are intended for beginners and beginners.

  Therefore, in the present invention, a mechanism is provided to guide the meteorite to be placed at the intersection of the lines, not in the fence surrounded by the line, and to make it easy to count your score after playing. It is an object of the present invention to provide a go tool including a closed board.

  The structure of the base of the inventive go tool made for the purpose of solving the above-mentioned problems is that the vertical and horizontal lines of the board are any of 4 to 9 on the surface of the plane part which is the board of the game of Go. The road is formed by a road having left and right widths, and at each intersection of the vertical and horizontal roads, a mark that can be used as a mark for scoring the score of the game media and a score counting mark is displayed. It is. In the present invention board, the above-mentioned mark works even if it is a mark for counting scores. Further, in the above grid, the number of orthogonal vertical and horizontal paths is preferably seven.

  In the present invention, the above-mentioned mark is displayed as a food pattern such as carrots as an example, and an animal such as a horse that likes the carrots is displayed as a symbol on a meteorite-like game medium that looks like a meteorite. It can be set as a go tool suitable for beginners. In the present invention, the pattern displayed at the intersection of the vertical and horizontal roads and the pattern displayed on the meteorite-like game medium are the patterns other than food and animals in the above example, and in the meaning of the displayed patterns, It can be a figure that can be associated with or associated with a narrative.

  In the present invention, the pattern displayed as a mark at the intersection of the roads on the board is not limited to foods such as carrots in the above example, and the pattern displayed as a symbol on game media used as meteorites is limited to animals such as horses. Of course not.

  In the present invention, the board surface on which the right and left width roads are formed orthogonally and vertically and horizontally may be formed of a hard plate-like member made of wood, plastic or the like, or flexible such as paper or plastic sheet. You may form with a flat member. In this case, the surface and the back surface of the flat plate member may be roadbeds displaying different numbers of roads, for example, 7 roads and 9 roads.

  Furthermore, in the present invention, the ground color of the board surface and the color of the road having the left and right width displayed vertically and horizontally on the board surface, for example, the ground color of the board surface is a low lightness color, specifically dark green. On the other hand, the color of the road is colored with high brightness with respect to the ground color, specifically, ivory color, and the displayed vertical and horizontal roads and the marks displayed at each intersection of the roads can be visually highlighted. it can. In this sense, the background color of the board surface and the color of the vertical and horizontal roads may be colored with opposite colors.

  Here, as an example, a game medium that looks like a black-and-white meteorite displays a horse picture or the like as a symbol on a disk-shaped piece colored in red and yellow colors. In this way, the carrot illustrations (displays) displayed as marks at the respective intersections can be associated with the positions of the game media on which the symbols are displayed by the horse pattern displayed on the game media. .

  In addition, after the game of Go (game) is over, when counting the area surrounded by your own meteorite (game media) by the number of intersections, it is only necessary to count the number of landmarks drawn at the intersections, so it is easy to count .

  In the board according to the present invention, the vertical and horizontal lines on the board are formed on the surface of the plane part which is the board of the game of Go by a road having a small number of 4 to 9 and a lateral width. Because the relationship between meteorites and meteorites is easier to visually recognize than the normal basis of lines alone, it is easier to visually grasp the area you are aiming for. In addition, each intersection of the vertical and horizontal roads is marked with a carrot or other pattern to indicate that the mark should be placed on a game media meteor, and the mark is displayed after the game (after the game). Since it also functions as a mark to count the score, no one who knows Go at all, for example, a child, puts the game media that is a meteorite in a cage surrounded by a line, Moreover, since the score can be counted quickly, it becomes possible to learn Go more quickly.

The top view of an example of the 7 roadbed formed by this invention. The top view illustrated in the state which put the game media (meteorite) on the 7 roadbed of FIG.

Next, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
As illustrated in FIG. 2, an example of the inventive go tool is formed. That is, 1 is a 7 road board (7 road board) according to the present invention, and 2a and 2b are two types of game media that are considered to be two types of black and white meteorites, that is, the 7 road board.

  As shown in FIG. 1, the seven roadbed 1 according to the present invention has a flat board surface 1a formed by a flat member on which a grid board surface is formed and seven widths drawn vertically and horizontally perpendicular to the surface of the board surface 1a. Are formed at each intersection of the vertical and horizontal roads 1b and 1c, here with a mark 1d with a carrot pattern.

  The member forming the board surface 1a may be a flexible flat member such as paper, woven fabric, non-woven fabric, or synthetic resin sheet, or a hard flat member such as wooden, plastic, or metal. Good. In the case of a hard flat member, it is arbitrary to make it a folding type such as a double fold.

  2a and 2b are two types of game media that hit the black stone meteorite. Here, different colors, for example red and yellow colors, are applied to the main body formed in a disk shape by cardboard or plastic material, respectively. In addition, the symbols 3a and 3b based on the horse pattern are attached to the surface of the main body in association with the marks 1d based on the carrot pattern displayed at the intersections of the vertical and horizontal paths 1b and 1c of the board surface 1a. Yes.

The 7 roadbed 1 of the present invention go tool formed as described above is formed with the width of the vertical and horizontal paths 1b and 1c, so that the game media 2a and 2b, that is, the meteorite and the meteorite placed at the intersection of the roads, are formed. A person who does not know Go at all, such as a child, for example, a child who does not know Go at all in combination with the action of the mark 1d displayed as a position where the game media (meteorite) 2a and 2b are placed is easier to grasp visually than a normal base. Can enjoy a game of Go (game) for learning Go using the same rules as a game of Go using a normal 19-road board. When the game (game) is over, it can be easily determined by counting the carrot mark 1d and calculating the score whether the area acquired by the player is larger or smaller than the opponent.
In particular, the 7 road board according to the present invention represents the vertical and horizontal lines of the board as a wide road, and a mark is displayed at the intersection of the road, so even a beginner can surround the position where the meteorite (game media) is placed. This is convenient because it is not mistaken for a bowl and after the game is over, the mark can be used as a counting mark for score calculation.

  Since the present invention is as described above, it is extremely useful as an introductory go tool for those who do not know Go at all, for example, children to learn Go.
