Description

[Detailed description of the device]

[0001]

[Industrial applications]

 The present invention relates to a piece-reversing game in which pieces are placed on a grid-shaped base board and other kinds of pieces are sandwiched and inverted to compete for their own number of pieces.

[0002]

[Prior art]

 A piece reversal game, which is conventionally known as a so-called Yuru Othello game (trademark), is commercially available. This is because one side of the piece is white and the other side is black, and you compete for increasing the number of your own pieces by reversing the vertical, horizontal, and diagonal pieces sandwiched by pieces of the same color It was decided to win or lose based on the number of pieces of the same color when the game was filled, and the number of players was limited to two, and it was too simple and lacking in fun as a game, making it an insufficient game as an intelligence game.

As an improvement of this simplicity, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 2-28946 proposes to use a piece having three or more kinds of identification marks on the front surface and the back surface, respectively.・ Unexpectedly, it is so complicated that it loses its fun as a play and has not been put into practical use.

[0004]

[Problems to be solved by the device]

 The present invention is intended to make such a piece reversing game more interesting as an "intelligent game", and the number of players is 2, 3 or more. It aims to provide a new piece-reversing intelligent game device that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike, as it can be played in 4 ways by 3 players and is neither too simple nor too complicated.

[0005]

[Means for Solving the Problems]

 As a result of diligent research to achieve the above purpose, when the number of players is two, the front side of the piece has two types of identification markings (for example, black and white), and the back side is the same as the front side in all of them. It will be very interesting if it is identified (for example, gray), and in the case of 3 people, 3 types of surface (eg black, white, red), and in the case of 4 persons, 4 types of surface (eg black, white, It was discovered that even if 3 or 4 players could enjoy the piece reversal game at the same time, if they were made to have the same identification on the back side (red, blue) and all sides were identified (for example, gray).

That is, the present invention comprises a pedestal having a large number of squares in a grid pattern and a large number of pieces placed in the squares. The surface of each piece is determined by the number of players. A piece reversal intelligence game device characterized in that the identification display is made by four kinds of colors and the like, while all the back surfaces of the pieces are unified by the same identification display different from any of the front surfaces. To do.

The present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings with reference to embodiments. FIG. 1 is a plan view of a base of the game device of the present invention. As shown in this figure, the base (S) is provided with a large number of squares (1), and in the normal case, 100 squares (10 rows x 10 steps) (1) as shown in Figure 1. Is preferred.

The number of squares (1) of this base (S) can be varied depending on the number of players. In other words, when playing with 4 players, use all the squares (1) of 10 rows x 10 columns, but when playing with 3 players, the squares on the 2 sides marked with a cross in the figure. (1) can be pulled in by sliding, or the grid (1) on the two sides can be hidden by an appropriate backing plate (that is, 1 x 10 long plates and 1 x 9 grids). Apply a long plate for a minute) and use a 9-row by 9-row grid (1).

Similarly, when two people play a game, the squares (1) in the entire circumference shown by the X and O marks in the figure are excluded by the slide type or the backing plate method similar to the above. , 8 rows x 8 rows of squares (1) are used. It should be noted that although it is possible to have 5 or more players, it becomes too complicated, so it is judged that 2 to 4 players are appropriate.

FIG. 2 is a plan view of the front side of one piece in the game device of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the same piece viewed from the back side. On the surface (2) of the frame (k), for example, an identification display is made by color. This identification is identified as 2 types (black and white) when playing with 2 players, and 3 types (black, white, red) with 3 players and 4 types (black, white) with 4 players. , Red, blue) respectively.

On the other hand, the back surface (3) of the piece (k) is unified into the same identification display regardless of the identification display on the front surface. In this case, the same identification display on the back surface (3) is different from the identification display on the front surface (2) (for example, gray). The greatest feature of the present invention is that the back surface (3) of the piece (k) is unified to the same identification display.

The side surface (4) of the piece (k) has the same identification display as the identification display on the front surface (2) as shown in FIG. (The surface color shown by the dot pattern in FIG. 2 is shown on the side with the same dot pattern.) In this case, even if the frame (k) is face down as shown in FIG. The game is easy to think, because you can distinguish it, and you can see what kind of identification is displayed when you reverse it.

In most cases, it is more interesting to be able to distinguish the identification display on the surface (2) from the side surface (4) as described above, but the present invention is not limited to this, and from the side surface of the piece (k). The identification display on the surface (2) may be set to be indistinguishable. In this case, the chances and surprises increase, but there is also the problem that the difference in memory greatly affects the outcome of the game. There is.

[0014]

[Operation] The present invention is configured as described above, and a method of developing this game will be described below. In the following description, the colors (black, white, red, and blue) are used to identify the front surface (2), and "gray" is used to identify the same on the back surface (3). It is assumed that (4) has the same color as the surface (2).

A In the case of two players, 8 × 8 = 64 is appropriate for the square (1) of the base (S) as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, and the frame (k) has a black front surface and a back surface. Two people use about 35 gray ones and about 35 gray ones with white front and gray back. The game is started by placing black and white pieces as shown in FIG. 4 or FIG. (The game development changes slightly in the start in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.) Black sandwiches white → reversal → gray, white sandwiches black → reversal → gray, gray and opponent piece at the same time or gray alone When sandwiched, it is naturally inverted and white or black is revived. Pieces must always be placed face up. It may be sandwiched vertically, horizontally or diagonally. When sandwiching an opponent piece and a reversed gray piece, you must place the piece even if it seems to be beneficial to the opponent. If you cannot pinch the opponent piece and the inverted gray piece, you cannot place the piece. (The opponents will continue to place, so the number of pieces on both sides is not the same number, but it depends on the game.) When you finish placing pieces on the entire surface, you win or lose depending on the number of black pieces and white pieces except gray pieces. Decide.

B In the case of 3 players, 9 × 9 = 81 is suitable for the grid (1) of the base (S) as shown in FIG. 6, and the piece (k) has 3 surfaces of black, white and red. The seeds are all gray on the back, and start playing with about 30 of them. First, three players each place one piece in 9 pieces of 3 × 3 indicated by a dotted pattern in the center of FIG. 6 one by one. Do not flip until 9 frames have been placed in 3 rounds. After that, the reversal game is put in order according to the same rules as for the case of the two players, and the game is advanced. When all of the player's pieces have been flipped by the player, you cannot place them until the player's piece comes back up again. The order of winning or losing is determined by the number of face-up own pieces at the end.

C In case of 4 players, 10 × 10 is suitable for the square (1) of the base (S) as shown in FIG. 7, and the surface of the piece (k) is black, white, red or blue. There are four kinds, and the back side is all gray, and you start playing with about 30 of each. In the 4 × 4 16 frames shown by dots in the center of FIG. 7, four players sequentially place one piece at a time. Do not flip until 16 frames have been placed in 4 rounds. After that, the piece reversal game is advanced in order according to the same rule as described above, and the winning or losing order is also determined in the same manner.

It should be noted that the game of the present invention as described above can be converted into a video game by computer software, and these may be replaced by images without using the actual base or pieces. Of course.

[0019]

[Effect of device]

 As described above, the present invention has the same identification mark on the back surface. Therefore, if a flipped piece is sandwiched, the identification mark which is advantageous to oneself does not always come back. No, it is never too simple, and it is a very fun game tool that can fully show the fun as an intelligent game.

Moreover, the number of players is not only two, but also three and four can be played at the same time, and it is a piece-reversing intelligent game tool that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike without being too complicated. .
