Abstract

(57) [Summary] [Purpose] In a piece reversal game, the pieces at the sides and corners can be flipped relatively easily. In addition, to give the pieces mobility and bring about a variety of changes. [Structure] ◎ An additional 1 square is added to the outside of the 8x8 square board (inner board) to form the outer circumference. The front and back of the piece are black and white.
The score is displayed for each piece. In addition to the large number of 1-piece pieces, each piece from 2 to 6 piece pieces will be a piece. Only one point piece does not display numbers ◎ Place one symbol on each square on the outer circumference
We regard it as worth 1 point for both black and white. This symbol is represented below (External 1). ◎ Place pieces only in the inner board. ◎ In order to sandwich and flip, the condition is that the sum of the scores of the two pieces to be sandwiched is greater than the sum of the scores of the opponent's pieces to be sandwiched. (Inner reversal) ◎ When starting black, (Outer 1) can be regarded as black and it can be reversed by sandwiching it with (Outer 1) under the same conditions as the inner reversal. (This is called outer circumference inversion.) (Same for white) ◎ Pieces can move vertically and horizontally. ◎ The player with the most pieces on the inner board at the end will win.

Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a game in which a piece is flipped across a board.

[0002]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 When the outer periphery is not added to the board In the piece flip game, it is difficult to flip the pieces on the sides and corners. For example, as shown in D in Fig. 3, the pieces lined up on the sides cannot be flipped by sandwiching them.

If this can be reversed, reversal of the game will occur, resulting in more changes. Also, if you move a piece on the board after moving it to the end instead of leaving it stationary, the development of the game will become more complicated and more interesting.

The present invention is intended to solve the above problems as main problems.

[0005]

[Means for solving the problem]

 In the present invention, 1 square is added to the outer circumference of the normal board surface (inner board) (1) to form the outer circumference (3). The boundary between the outer periphery and the inner wall is called the boundary line (4) and should be clearly identified.

Numbers are written on both sides of the front and back colored pieces (9). A piece has a numerical score written on it. Depending on the entered numbers, it will be called 1 point piece, 2 point piece, 3 point piece ~ ~ ~, etc. The number "1" does not have to be displayed for 1-piece pieces. Also, it does not have to be an Arabic numeral as long as it is a symbol that means a number. Two or more pieces will be called a multi-piece piece.

The row of the opponent's piece is sandwiched between both ends and inverted only when the following conditions are met. That is, only when the total score of the two pieces sandwiching the total score of the opponent's line is greater. (If it is equal or small, it cannot be reversed)

As an example, in FIG. 3A, (1 + 1) is larger than 1 so that it can be reversed (the result is FIG. 5A) (however, "1" of one point piece is not displayed). In B of (5 + 4) is larger than (2 + 1 + 1 + 3), reversal is possible. (The result is B in FIG. 5) In C of FIG. 3, (1 + 1) and (1 + 1) are equal, and therefore inversion is not possible. In C of FIG. 5, (4 + 1) is smaller than (3 + 1 + 2), and therefore inversion is impossible.

[0012] Furthermore, an appropriate figure, pattern, picture, or the like is entered on each of the cells on the outer circumference, and the symbols themselves have a value of one point, black or white. For the sake of simplicity, in the drawings of this specification, a symbol (2) with an X inside a circle is used.

The symbol of the outer peripheral portion is regarded as one black point when a black move is started and one white point when a white move is started. In the description, it is written as (External 1).

It may be possible to invert by sandwiching the piece actually hit on the inner board and the (outer 1) piece.

[When sandwiched with (outer 1)] In both A and C of FIG. 2, 1+ (outer 1) is larger than 1, and therefore reversible. (The result is A and B in Fig. 6) In E of Fig. 2, 5+ (outer 1) is larger than 2 + 3, so it can be reversed. (The result is C in Fig. 6)

As described above, the reversal between (Outer 1) and the (Outer 1) is called outer periphery reversal.

Next, it is assumed that the pieces can move freely vertically and horizontally [F of FIG. 2].

The above is the main means for solving the problems.

[0016]

[Embodiment 1] Below, the essential points of how to play with this tool will be described with reference to the drawings.

One side of the inner board is 8 and the pieces held by the two players are “a large number of one-point pieces and two-piece pieces, three-piece pieces, four-piece pieces, five-piece pieces, and six-piece pieces, one piece each” .. The color of the front and back of the piece is black and white here. Two players point one hand at a time. One move is either to hit a piece or move a piece already on the inner board.

It is not possible to hit a piece on the outer peripheral portion. In addition, it cannot move and go out to the outer periphery.

The pieces can move in any direction vertically and horizontally. However, as soon as there are other pieces, you cannot jump over them. [F in FIG. 2]

The piece that has just started and the piece of another ally can be reversed by sandwiching the pieces of the opponent's lined up in one row from both ends. However, the sum of the points of the two pieces sandwiched is greater than the total of the points of the opponent's pieces sandwiched. (This is called inversion of the inner panel) [A and B in Fig. 3]

The outer periphery reversal is sandwiched between (Outer 1) and the piece on the inner plate that has just been started, and requires the same relationship between the sum of points as the inner reversal. [A, C and E in FIG. 2]

As another special case, it is assumed that the one-point piece that has just begun and another one-point piece can be reversed with the opponent's six-point piece sandwiched. In this case, (1 + 1) is smaller than 6, but it is recognized as an exception [called special inversion] [AE in FIG. 12] Similarly, 1+ (outer 1) can invert a 6-point piece [12th [Fig. BCD] [The result is Fig. 19]

The line to be sandwiched (referred to as an inversion line) may be in any of vertical and horizontal directions.

The first 8 hands are called distribution. It cannot be reversed even if it can be reversed during distribution. You can flip it from the 9th move.

The distribution always hits adjacent positions. Explaining in detail === As a black move, the second white hand is adjacent to the first black piece (adjacent here means that it is vertically or horizontally or diagonally next to it). The black third hand must be adjacent to either the first or second piece. The white fourth hand must be adjacent to one of the first, second, and third pieces. In the same way, the 8th hand is always distributed so that it is adjacent. In other words, it is not possible to place pieces at distant positions during the distribution stage. Distribution may start anywhere on the inboard. Some examples of distribution are shown in Figures 13-17.

When hitting a piece, be sure to hit it at a position where it can be reversed. Also, when moving, be sure to be able to reverse at the destination. When it is possible to invert a plurality of inversion lines, all inversion lines shall be inverted.

If you can't find a move that can be flipped anywhere, pass 1 move. If you can flip it somewhere, you can't pass.

When the inner board is full of pieces, it is the end. It will also be the end when both of them pass in succession (in this case there is space in the inner board but it may remain)

At the end of the game, the player with the larger number of pieces on the inner board wins. Alternatively, the player with the higher total score of the pieces on the inner board may win.

[0030]

Example 2 Some other examples are listed together. The size of the inner board can be as large as one side 4 above. However, if it is too large, it will take too much time, so select an appropriate size.

Also, the first set of holding pieces may be a combination of arbitrary numbers. However, this should also be selected within an appropriate range. Also, choose the distribution length appropriately.

Examples other than Example 1 in the case of 8 × 8 inner panel. The combination of multi-piece pieces may be as follows. [2345] [22345] [23455] [223344] [223456] [222334] [234567], etc. may be freely selected.

Some examples in the case of inner boards of other sizes are as follows. # [4x4 inner board] → multi-point piece [23] distribution length = 4 hands, etc. # [5x5 inner board] → multi-point piece [23] [223], etc. distribution length [4 hands] # [6x6 inner board] → multi Point piece [2234] [234] etc. Distribution [6 hands] # [7x7 inner board] → Multi-point piece [2345] Distribution [6 hands] etc. # [9x9 inner board] → Multi-point piece [234567] Distribution [10 hands ] Etc. # [10x10 inner board] → multi-point piece [234567] [2345678] etc. distribution = 12 hands etc. # [11x11 inner board] → multi-point piece [2345678] [223345678] etc. distribution length = 14 hands etc. # [12x12] Inner board] → Multi-piece pieces [23456789] Distribution head [16 hands], etc.

In the above case, in the case of the odd square inner board, it is not struck until the inner board is full, but there is no space left at the end, but the end is when only one piece remains.

[0035]

Third Embodiment In the first or second embodiment, the special inversion may not be performed. In other words, the reversal is only the inner reversal and the outer reversal.

[0036]

[Effect of the device]

 Since the pieces at the sides and corners are easily flipped over, it is not possible to build a position unless one point piece is made into a thick group [Fig. 8]. This counters the thick group of one-piece pieces and the reversal action of multiple-piece pieces [Fig. 9].

Since multi-point pieces are powerful, a reversal battle of multi-point pieces takes place in order to reverse the opponent's multi-point pieces as much as possible and attach them to the ally side. [Fig. 7]

There is also a siege operation to limit the mobility of multipoint pieces [Fig. 10]. There is also an operation in which the enclosed multi-point piece escapes [Fig. 11].

Regarding the distribution, for example, in the first embodiment, eight pieces are distributed, but there are many types of arrangements thereof [FIGS. 13 to 17 and others]. It has a different shape and is interesting.

In addition, even if all the friendly pieces on the board are reversed and disappeared, the game is often continued by reversing the outer circumference [FIG. 18]. Even if the situation becomes very bad like this, there is a possibility of reversal.

In the case of a small inner board of about 4 to 6 squares, the number of steps is short and one station can be completed in a short time, so that it is possible to play a game even during busy periods. You can play the game in a short time even if it is about 8 squares.

A handicap can be easily applied even when there is a difference in ability. For example, (a) make a difference in the number of pieces of multi-piece pieces. (B) make a difference in the number of pieces to be distributed. There are various other methods.

Even children and elementary school children can easily play the game because the rules are easy. In addition, it will be a practice of addition arithmetic. Even adults can help prevent aging.

As described above, the rules are simple and easy to remember, while high-level operations are possible, so it can be said that it is widely applicable to contents for children and intellectual contents.
