Description

  The present invention can be used in existing game boards for carrying out games such as Calom, Carom or similar games known as a type of on-board game, and the pocket openings at the four corners are substantially in shape and / or size. The present invention relates to an adjustment board for a game board that can be changed and thereby change a game difficulty level and a game form.

  On-board games that combine billiards and hajiki play are widely known worldwide as Karom, Carom and other names, and the game board and basic rules for implementing them are generally similar by country or region. There are many differences, and even if a similar game board is used, different rules or unique rules may be adopted.

  For example, the game board used for Karom, which is the most widely used game in the eastern and northern areas of Shiga Prefecture, is a fan-shaped or right-angled triangular pocket with a right central angle at the four corners of the board surrounded by a rectangular frame. An opening is drilled, and a center spot is displayed at the center of the board to indicate where the center piece is to be placed at the start of the game. Each player's identification is displayed around the center spot on the board. A center circle is displayed that indicates where to place the target pieces alternately in a circular shape at the start of the game, and each player's playing pieces are fired along each side of the board outside the center circle on the board. An area line indicating the position is displayed, and a tee spot indicating the position where each player's playing piece is first fired is displayed outside the area line on the board corresponding to each side of the board. Composed of Te.

  One game method using the Karom game board is that each pair of two or two players who are paired with each other will be on the tee spot on their own side for the first time, and on their own side for the next time. Playing your own playing piece placed above and hitting it against other target pieces and the center piece on the board, you will put your target piece in one of the pockets in order and put the center piece last. Yes (Non-Patent Document 1).

  On the other hand, the on-board game adopted by the Japan Carom Federation, which is under the umbrella of the International Carom Federation, is called Carom against the on-board game Calom, and in the Carom game board used for this, at the start of the game, A center circle is displayed concentrically around the center spot of the board. Within the center circle, 6 of the 18 target pieces on which each competitor's identification is displayed are on the inside, and 12 are on the inside. On the outside, they are alternately arranged in a hexagonal shape in a substantially close-packed state. In the game board for the carom, circular pocket openings are formed at the four corners of the board surface (Non-Patent Document 1).

One game method using the carom game board is that two athletes in pairs of two or two players play their playing pieces placed on the base line of each person on the board surface. It is a matter of hitting a certain target piece and center piece and putting the target piece and center piece in any pocket (Non-patent Document 1).

  In the game board, all play their own playing pieces and hit their own other pieces on the board, and compete to put them in any of the pockets at the four corners of the board. The shape and / or size of the pocket opening affects the game difficulty level and the game form.

  Therefore, for example, in the above-described calom board having a sector shape having a right central angle and a pocket opening portion of a right triangle shape, if the pocket opening portion is changed to a smaller sector shape or a right triangle shape, the game difficulty level is It is possible to rise and attract new interest to the competitors. In addition, for example, in the above-described calom board having a fan-shaped or right-angled triangular pocket opening having a right central angle, if the pocket opening is changed to a smaller circle, the game difficulty level increases. In the pocket portion, it becomes a game board similar to the above-mentioned carom board, and it is possible to attract new interest to the player. Further, for example, in the above-described carom board having a circular pocket opening, if the pocket opening is changed to a smaller circle, the game difficulty level is surely increased in this case as well.

  However, in the conventional game board, it is impossible to change the shape and / or size of the pocket opening, and in order to realize this, the pocket opening of the required shape and / or size is provided. There was no other way to use another game board. Although it is possible to arrange another form of game board on the back side of a certain game board, the problem arises that the board structure becomes complicated and becomes heavy and expensive.

  In view of the above-mentioned problems, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to use an existing game board to substantially change the shape and / or size of the pocket opening at the four corners, thereby making it possible to achieve a game difficulty level and a game form. An object of the present invention is to provide a game board adjusting plate that makes it possible to easily change the above.
