Description

Board game set to recognize climate change issues and improve lifestyle}

The present invention relates to a board game set, and to a board game set for recognizing climate change issues and improving lifestyle.

The concept of carbon footprint was first proposed by the British Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) in 2006, and the total amount of carbon _{dioxide (CO 2 ) generated directly or indirectly through human activities or the entire process of production and consumption is defined as the carbon footprint.} It is derived from displaying.

As interest and concern about global warming and its accompanying abnormal climates, environmental changes, and disasters grow, it began to be used to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide generated as one of the causes. It is used as a concept that includes electricity and supplies, and is one of the environmental impact categories of the environmental report card.

1 shows an example of a carbon footprint label.

1 is a carbon footprint mark certified by the Korea Environmental Industry & Technology Institute in Korea. (a) and (b) are Korean and English marks for the first-stage carbon footprint certification, and (c) and (d) are for the second-stage low-carbon product certification. Korean and English covers are indicated. Here, a low-carbon certified product means a product that is below the average carbon emission (based on the carbon footprint) of the same product and has reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 4.24% (based on the carbon reduction rate) by applying low-carbon technology.

As shown in Figure 1, the carbon footprint label is manufactured in the form of a label by converting the amount of greenhouse gas generated in the entire process, such as raw material collection, production, transportation and distribution, use, and disposal of products and services, into carbon dioxide emissions and displayed on the product. This includes fuel, electricity, and supplies that they use in their daily life. These carbon footprint markers are indicators that can determine the impact of greenhouse gas substances such as carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere on global climate change.

However, even though various products are provided with carbon footprint labels attached, many people still do not understand the concept of carbon footprint or are indifferent to it, so that its effectiveness is not sufficiently increased. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the risk of climate change due to environmental pollution along with the concept of carbon footprint from the young age group, such as infants and children, and ultimately develop a lifestyle that can emit less carbon in daily life. .

2 to 7 , the board game set according to the present embodiment includes a board board 100 , a plurality of carbon blocks 110 , a plurality of landfills 121 , 122 , and a card deck 130 .

The plurality of carbon blocks 110 is a component corresponding to a carbon footprint, and may be divided into a plurality of types of carbon blocks having different sizes in response to carbon emission. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the carbon block 110 is implemented by being divided into three types of the first to third carbon blocks 111 to 113 .

3 shows an example of three types of carbon blocks 111 to 113, and the first carbon block 111 shown in (a) has a predetermined first number range (here, 1 to 4 as an example) ) as the smallest carbon block composed of a combination of unit blocks (here, a cube as an example), may represent a block composed based on the carbon footprint of products with the smallest carbon emission. And as shown in (b), the second carbon block 112 may be composed of an intermediate-sized carbon block in which unit blocks of a predetermined second number range (here, 4 to 7 as an example) are combined. . Finally, the third carbon block 113 shown in (c) may be composed of a carbon block having the largest size in which unit blocks of a predetermined third number range (here, 7 to 10 as an example) are combined. Here, the third carbon block 113 may be configured to have a structure in which the first carbon block 111 and the second carbon block 112 are combined.

And the number range specified for each of the first to third carbon blocks 111 to 113 may partially overlap. However, as shown in (a) to (c) of FIG. 3 , even if the number of blocks designated in the first to third carbon blocks 111 to 113 is the same, the unit blocks are combined according to the type of each block. may be configured differently from each other.

Also, for the convenience of game progress, the carbon blocks 111 to 113 for each type may have different colors. As shown in (a) to (c) of FIG. 3 , the first to third carbon blocks may be embodied as green, yellow, and red blocks, for example.

In the above, as an example, the plurality of carbon blocks 110 is composed of three types of first to third carbon blocks 111 to 113, and each carbon block 111 to 113 has a unit block and color within a predetermined number range. Although described as composed of In addition, in some cases, the unit block of the carbon block 110 may be composed of a 3D figure other than a cube.

Meanwhile, the landfills 121 and 122 may be divided into a private landfill 121 and a common landfill 122 . In the board game according to the present embodiment, a landfill is a space in which at least one carbon block 110 can be stacked, and the personal landfill 121 is a landfill in which carbon blocks 110 allocated to individual players participating in the game can be stacked. The personal landfill 121 may be provided as many as the number of players participating in the board game.

In addition, when each of a plurality of players satisfies a specified specific condition, only one common landfill site 122 may be provided regardless of the number of players as a landfill site in which the carbon blocks 110 allocated to them can be stacked.

As shown in (a) and (b) of FIG. 4 , carbon block buried regions 410 and 420 may be formed in both the private landfill 121 and the common landfill 122 according to a predetermined pattern. Here, the carbon block embedding areas 410 and 420 are spaces in which the carbon blocks 110 allocated to players can be stacked, and each player places the carbon blocks 110 allocated to them in the carbon block embedding areas 410 and 420. It can only be placed on the pole, but can be stacked in the height direction. That is, players may stack a plurality of carbon blocks 110 in the height direction in the block embedding areas 410 and 420 .

Here, as an example, the carbon block buried regions 410 and 420 of the private landfill 121 and the common landfill 122 have the same size and the same shape, but the carbon blocks of the private landfill 121 and the common landfill 122 are shown. The buried regions 410 and 420 may have different sizes and shapes. However, the carbon block buried area 410 in each player's personal landfill site 121 must be implemented with the same size and shape.

Meanwhile, in the board game according to the present embodiment, the card deck 130 may be composed of different types of cards. Here, as an example, it is assumed that the card deck 130 includes the action card 131 illustrated in FIG. 5 , the special card 132 illustrated in FIG. 6 , and the money card 133 illustrated in FIG. 7 .

In FIG. 5 , (a) shows an example of the front side of the action card 131 , and (b) to (d) show an example of the back side of the action card 131 .

As shown in (a) of FIG. 5 , an action card in which a pass cost is specified for the player to pass their turn without selecting the action card 131 together with a predetermined design on the front side of the action card 131 . It may be displayed on the pass cost display area 510 .

And as shown in (b) to (d) of Figure 5, the back side of the action card 131 is a picture area 520, a story area 530, a carbon block designation area 540, and a card disposal cost area 550. can be configured.

Here, the picture area 520 and the story area 530 are areas where images and stories for various actions related to carbon emission are displayed. And the carbon block designation area 540 is an area indicating the type and number of carbon blocks 110 allocated to the player by the action card 131, and the card disposal cost area 550 is an area where the player plays the action card 131. This is the area where the cost for discarding unused, ie, unallocated carbon blocks, is indicated.

As an example, (b) of FIG. 5 shows an image and a story about the action of unplugging the plug from the outlet when not staying at home, and indicates that the player should be allocated one green first carbon block 111 . and indicates that if the player does not wish to be allocated a carbon block, he must pay the cost indicated in the card discard cost area 550 .

(c) shows the behavior of using the clothes dryer together with roommates and the amount of annual carbon footprint that can be saved as a result, and (d) shows the behavior of flying with friends and carbon emissions resulting from this behavior do.

And (c) indicates that the player should be allocated two yellow second carbon blocks 112, and (d) indicates that one red third carbon block 113 should be allocated. At this time, the action cards of (c) and (d), unlike the action cards of (b), are action cards representing people's joint activities, and the player who opened the action card 131 selects another player to act together. You can choose. In this case, the carbon block is allocated to the selected player in the same way as the player who opened the action card 131 .

On the other hand, the action cards of (c) and (d) also, like the action cards of (b), the player may pay the cost indicated in the card discard cost area 550 and not be allocated carbon blocks. At this time, the other player selected to act together may also pay the cost indicated in the card discard cost area 550 and not be allocated carbon blocks.

That is, the action card 131 displays carbon emissions according to people's actions or products, and allows each player to understand the concept of carbon footprint by displaying the carbon blocks of the corresponding size and number to the player, From this, it is possible to induce the improvement of lifestyle by recognizing the problem of climate change.

6A shows an example of the front side of the special card 132 , and (b) and (c) show an example of the back side of the special card 132 .

Referring to (a) of FIG. 6 , the player passes his turn without selecting the special card 132 with a predetermined design similar to the front of the action card 131 on the front of the special card 132 . A pass cost to be used may be displayed on the designated special card pass cost display area 610 .

In addition, as shown in (b) and (c) of Figure 6, the back side of the special card 132 also includes a picture area 620 and a story area 630 similarly to the back side of the back side of the action card 131. do. However, on the back of the special card 132 , unlike the back of the back of the action card 131 , the carbon block designation area 540 and the card disposal cost area 550 are instead of the action instruction area 640 .

Figure 6 (b) is a special card showing cost acquisition due to the discovery of a gold mine, and (c) is a special card for stacking two more yellow second blocks 112 in a common landfill site due to a volcanic eruption. The special card 132 is a card representing various items for improving the fun of the board game, and the image, story, and instructional action of the special card 132 may be variously set.

However, the action card 131 is a card according to the original purpose of the board game, while the special card 132 is a means to increase the interest of the board game, so it should be provided in a relatively small number compared to the number of the action cards 131 . . As an example, it is assumed here that 40 action cards 131 are provided, whereas only 8 special cards 132 are provided.

And as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6 (a), the action card 131 and the special card 132 may be implemented with different designs or different colors to be easily identified, but in some cases, the player It may be implemented in the same design so that the action card 131 and the special card 132 cannot be distinguished and identified.

7 shows the front and back sides of the money card, and it is assumed that only two types of money cards 133 exist, and are illustrated as (a) and (b). 7 , an amount display area 710 and an amount unit display area 720 may be displayed on at least one of the front side and the back side of the money card 133 . In the board game according to the present embodiment, it is assumed that the unit of money is zeo, (a) shows the 5th Zeo money card, and (b) shows the 10th zeo money card. However, the amount displayed in the amount area 710 of the money card 133 and the amount unit displayed in the amount unit area 720 may be variously changed, and the type of the money card 133 may also be set in various ways. .

The board 100 is a place where the carbon footprint board game according to the present embodiment is performed. In this embodiment, the size and shape of the board 100 may not be specifically designated, but in order to inspire interest in the board game, as shown in FIG. 2 , a plurality of carbon blocks 110 , a plurality of landfill sites 121 , 122) and the position where the card deck 130 is to be placed may be designated and designed in advance. In the above description, it has been described that the personal landfill 121 and the common landfill 122 are provided separately, and the position where the personal landfill 121 and the common landfill 122 are to be arranged is designed on the board 100, but the personal landfill 121 And the common landfill 122 itself may be implemented in the form of a design at a predetermined position of the board 100 . That is, the individual landfill site 121 and the common landfill site 122 and their respective carbon block buried areas 410 and 420 may be displayed in advance on the board 100 as a design.

Referring to FIG. 2 , the board board 100 may be formed in the form of a rectangular panel, and a location where the personal landfill 121 is disposed may be designated in an area adjacent to each side of the board 100 of the rectangular panel. And the shared landfill 122 and the plurality of carbon blocks 110 and the card deck 130 may be positioned so as to be disposed separately from each other in the central area of the board 100 . In particular, a plurality of carbon blocks 110 may be positioned so as to be separated and disposed according to the type of carbon block, and in the card deck 130 , the money card 133 and the action card 131 and the special card 132 and Positions may be designated so as to be arranged separately. However, the action card 131 and the special card 132 are commonly placed at a designated location, and before the start of the board game, the action card 131 and the special card 132 may be shuffled so that they are mixed and arranged in a random order. have.

In addition, although not shown, the board game according to the present embodiment may further include the concept of carbon emission credits. Carbon emission credits may be produced and provided in the form of cards like the action card 131, the special card 132, and the money card 133 of the card deck 130, but are not produced as a separate card, etc., but are intangible game rules. may be set. A carbon credit is a right that allows a player to select an action card 131 and stack the allocated carbon block 110 in a common landfill 122, by paying a predetermined carbon emission cost (for example, 25 zeo), The type and number of carbon blocks indicated in the carbon block designation area 540 of the corresponding action card can be stacked in a common landfill site.

The game goal of the carbon footprint based board game using the board game set as described above is to prevent the blocks stacked in the private landfill 121 or communal landfill 122 from collapsing or exceeding a predetermined height limit.

Here, the limit height of the individual landfill site 121 and the common landfill site 122 may be set to be the same, but may be set differently. In addition, in the case of the personal landfill site 121, the height limit may be adjusted according to the number of players participating in the board game.

As an example, the limited height of the common landfill site 122 may be set to 5 unit block heights based on the unit blocks constituting the carbon block 110 , and the limited height of the private landfill site 121 may be set to a unit block according to the number of players. It may be set to 5 to 7 unit block heights as a reference. That is, when there are 2 players, the limit height is set to 7 unit block heights, when there are 3 players, it can be set to 6 unit block heights, and when there are 4 or more players, it can be set to 5 unit block heights.

Each player is paid a money card 133 corresponding to a predetermined initial amount at the start of the board game, and when the game starts, the action cards 131 shuffled in a random order of the card deck 130 according to the predetermined order and the special card 132, the card placed at the top is opened. In this case, the player may pay the fees displayed in the card pass cost display areas 510 and 520 on the front side of the action card 131 and the special card 132 and may not open the card.

However, when the player opens a card, if the open card is the action card 131 , the carbon block is allocated according to the type and number of the carbon block 110 displayed in the carbon block designation area 540 of the action card 131 . receive Then, the allocated carbon blocks are stacked in the carbon block landfill area 410 of the personal landfill site 121 . At this time, if it is designated in the story area 530 of the action card 131 to select one other player to act with, one of the other players is arbitrarily selected. In this case, the selected other player is also allocated a carbon block according to the type and number of carbon blocks 110 displayed in the carbon block designation area 540 and transfers the carbon block to the carbon block landfill area 410 of his/her own personal landfill site 121 . ) are stacked on

However, the player may not be allocated the carbon block 110 by paying the cost indicated in the card disposal cost area 550 . In addition, by purchasing carbon credits at a predetermined amount, the allocated carbon blocks 110 may be stacked in the common landfill site 122 .

On the other hand, if the card opened by the player is the special card 132 , the action indicated in the action instruction area 640 of the special card 132 is performed. Basically, in the board game according to the present embodiment, the carbon blocks stacked in the personal landfill 121 or the common landfill 122 cannot be moved or re-stacked, but when the action instruction area 640 of the special card 132 indicates Even carbon blocks that have been stacked can be moved or re-stacked according to the actions directed to them.

In addition, when the special card 132 is displayed to be distinguished from the action card 131 , another player sets the cost displayed in the special card pass cost display area 610 to the board 100 so that a specific player does not open the special card 132 . ) may be returned to the card deck 130 of That is, in the case of the special card 132 , not only the player in the order in which the current card needs to be opened, but also other players may pay for the special card to be passed instead.

As described above, when the sequence of all players proceeds according to the predetermined order, the round is ended, and at each end of each round, the player is paid a money card 133 corresponding to the predetermined amount of the round.

And in the board game according to this embodiment, if the carbon block 110 stacked in the personal landfill 121 of a specific player collapses or the height of the stacked carbon block 110 exceeds the limit height, the player is considered to be defeated. . In this case, in order to determine the final winner, the remaining players may continue to play the game.

However, if the carbon block 110 stacked in the common landfill 122 collapses or the height of the stacked carbon block 110 exceeds the limit height, the common environment of all players collapses, and the game ends. That is, the board game according to the present embodiment is a game in which one player who optimally manages the carbon block remains or the carbon block 110 in an amount exceeding the carbon block 110 that can be stacked in the common landfill site 122 is accumulated. to quit

Thus, it can not only help individual players understand the meaning of their carbon footprint based on their carbon footprint, but also help them become aware of climate change issues and improve their lifestyle.
