The board game as described herein utilizes an assembly of a game board with a second number of game compartments and a first number of game stones, with elements adjacent to each game compartment above the game board being provided for removably receiving game stones therebetween. Since in the board game as described herein the game board and the game stones can be of different embodiments, the board game itself will first be briefly explained for the sake of clarity. It will be clear that the description given below is not limiting for the invention and that many variations can be made in the rules of the game, whereby a game can also be played by only one player in the form of a so-called solitaire. In addition, the invention is further elucidated on the basis of a board game, although it will be clear that the game can also be played without a game board, V009913 9 in which the game stones are stacked on boxes to be indicated by the players, for example on a table or on the ground.

The object of the game is to get as many 5 points as possible by cleverly using one-sided game pieces; or stacking several dots on a game board of a game board or on top of each other, without dots of different game stones stacking on top of each other covering each other. The game is suitable for example to be played by up to 10 to four players from about six years of age. In order to be able to play the game, a first number, for instance 56, of game stones is required, which can be placed in a bag, and optionally a game board, which is divided into a second number, for instance nine, of playing areas. In order to be able to hold the game stones in a visible and manageable manner for each player, playing boards can also be provided for holding the game stones.

In preparation for the game, a player 20 is assigned to keep score. The possible game board is placed in such a way that it is clearly visible and accessible to all players. All game pieces are placed in the bag, then each player draws the required 1

number of game stones, for example five game stones at two I.

25 or three players, or four game stones for four players. This one

game stones are then placed on the respective playing board

place, out of sight of the other players.

To determine who can start, for example, I

Each player draws one tile from the bag, and the 30 player who draws the tile with the most dots may start. The game can also be played clockwise. =

These game stones are placed back in the bag. |

The object of the game is to stack game stones on the game board or on another surface in ü 35 game areas of your choice. Game stones can optionally be explained on both sides, so also in mirror image, and in any desired direction. However, the dots or dot-shaped “1009913 10 elements of the laid out game stones may not cover each other, as is shown schematically in the top row in Figure 6. The two game stones shown under A may not be stacked on top of each other, since at least one of the dots of one of the game stones covers a dot of the other game stone. The two game stones shown under B may be stacked on top of each other, and in the case shown will yield 6 points.

The game begins when the first player places one or 10 of his / her stones in one of the spaces on the game board, or another surface, or on an already laid out game stone, provided that none of the dots of one game stone are dots of the other game stone covered. One point is scored for each dot on the laid stone or stones 15, several examples of the scoring being shown in Figure 6. If the player is unable or unwilling to explain more game stones, his or her turn is over. The player concerned then complements the playing board with game stones from the bag to the required number of game stones. If there are not enough game stones left, one draws as many game stones as there are. It is then the turn of the next player.

Each subsequent player has per turn according to the rules described here by way of example; 25 each time the mandatory choice from only one of the following options: 1. start one new stack in an empty playing space on the game board with one or more game stones; 2. add one or more game tiles to one 30 or more stacks that are already on the game board.

It should be noted that according to the rules of the game it is not allowed that dots of different stacked game stones cover each other; 3. Let the turn go by, because the player cannot or will not explain 35. In that case, the player may replace one or more of his own game stones with game stones from the bag.

1009913 11

When a player has finished his or her turn, the total number of dots of all stacks in which the player has laid out is added together. This is this player's turn score. A player therefore scores 5 not only for the dots of his own constructed stones, but also for the dots of all underlying stones.

If a player has managed to form the maximum number of dots, for example 9, although other maximum numbers such as 16 'are also possible in one stack, 10 he will receive nine points. This pile is removed from the game, so it is not returned to the bag. Then the player may continue in his or her turn, by again choosing between now only options 1 or 2 (not possibility 3). Every time the player gets the maximum; Has managed to form 15 dots on a stack, it may continue to play, even if it occurs 7 multiple times in one turn.

If a player uses all of the game stones from his playing board in one turn, he must draw one game stone from the bag each time and continue to play: until he is unable or unwilling to explain. His turn is over. He then completes his playing board to "the required number of pieces, and it is the next player's turn.

25 The game is ended when: 1. a player has explained the last game stone of his: playing board and there are no more playing stones in the bag; 2. None of the players can explain a game piece and there are no more useful game pieces in the bag.

If this happens in the middle of a round, then this | round, so that all players can play an equal number of turns. Of course, the winner is 35 the player who has managed to get the most number of points.

An embodiment of an assembly of play I

1009913 12 board and (a limited) number of game stones according to the invention for playing the game described above, is schematically shown in perspective in figure 1. The game board 1 has a first number of game spaces 2, 2 ', 2 "5 (in the example shown nine, although any other number is also possible). Adjoining each game space 2, 2', 2" above the game board 1 are protruding holder elements 3, 3 ', 3 ", 3"' 'present for the purpose of taking up game stones 4 between them. Figure 2 schematically shows a top view of the assembly of figure 1, with game stones 4 being shown in a different position. projecting holder elements 3, 3 ', 3' ', 3' '' is adapted to the shape of the game stones 4 such that the game stones are removably placed between the holder elements 3, 3 ', 15 3 ", 3" "and thereby on their held in place. By using the holder elements it is possible to play the game in, for example, trains or cars. Preferably, the pattern and / or the shape of the holder elements allow the playing stones to be superimposed in only a limited number of directions. The further shape and appearance of the game board 1 is an issue of aesthetic design.

Another embodiment of a game board 31 to be used in the assembly and for the board game as described herein is shown in perspective in Figure 3, in top view in Figure 4A and in side view in Figure 4B. The holder elements 33 protruding from the game board 31 here have a different shape than that of the embodiment according to figure 1.

Some possible embodiments of game stones according to the invention, which can be used in an assembly according to the invention and a board game as described herein, are shown in Figures 5A to 5D.

Fig. 5A shows flat, rectangular game blocks 50, each having an upper surface 51 and a lower surface 52. The game stone 50 is imaginary divisible into a third number of compartments 54, in the example 9 shown, which are arranged according to a pattern, in this case a matrix. In a given game stone 50 'a fourth number smaller than 5 contains the third number of the imaginary boxes a dot 53, in the example shown game stone 50' contains one dot.

It will be clear that game stones with different numbers of dots are possible, as shown in Figure 5A. The game stone 50 can be opaque or 10 transparent. When the game stone is transparent, it is easy to judge whether a newly laid game stone covers dots of previously laid game stones. ;

Since the game stones shown by way of example in Figure 5 are substantially rectangular, the projecting holder elements of the game board must be designed such that these holder elements can hold these rectangular game stones in place, even when the game board is shock, impact or vibration. For example, a game board according to figure 3 can incorporate rectangular game stones removably.

An alternative game stone 70 is shown in Figure 5C. This game stone 70 is also flat in shape and has the same distribution of dots as the game stone ^ 50 of figure 5A. However, the game stone 70 does not have straight sides, but has a recess in the center of the sides, which promotes handling of the game stones by the players. Such a game stone can be held by elements of the shape projecting from a game board as shown in figure 1. = A further alternative rectangular game stone ^ 60 is shown in figure 5B. This game stone 60 is provided with a top surface 61 and a bottom surface 62. Both the top and bottom surfaces of the game stone 60 are provided with a first number of recesses 63 arranged in a pattern, in this case a matrix. From a specific game piece 60 'a certain number, in the illustrated case one, of the recesses 63 receive a 1009918 14 dot-shaped element. Preferably, the recesses are designed such that a projecting element is completely received therein. Each dot-shaped element protrudes above the top and bottom surfaces. When such a game stone with protruding elements is stacked on another game stone, it will be clear that when two dots cover each other, the game stones cannot be placed correctly on top of each other. These game stones can only be stacked correctly if protruding dot-shaped elements end up in recesses of the other game stone. Correct stacking is thus quickly observable. If such a game stone is transparent, then correct stacking and scoring is easy to perform. Preferably, each recess is a bore going through the top from bottom to top surface.

The dot-shaped element can be placed in the bore by, for example, gluing or clamping.

An alternative embodiment of a game stone 80 - according to the invention containing recesses and protruding dot elements is shown in figure 5D. Unlike the game stone shown in Figure 5B, the game stone 80 does not have a rectangular shape but a shape such as the game stone 70 of Figure 5C.

Although it has been described that the dot-shaped elements are included in recesses, it is also possible to place dot-shaped elements at the respective locations on a flat top and bottom surface, and to make recesses only at the required locations on the game stone.

Alternatively, only a limited first number of game stones is required to play the game, an example of possible game stones being shown in Figure 7.

In the examples described above, the maximum number of places where dots and / or recesses can be made is nine. It will be clear, however, that another maximum number is possible, such as 16 i T009913 15 or 25, which can make the game more complicated and challenging. Furthermore, the dots, recesses and dot-shaped elements shown are round in shape. It will be clear, however, that other shapes such as rectangular oval, cross or star shape are also possible. Furthermore, the shape of the game stones is not limited to the shown rectangular shape or rectangular shape with a recess in the middle of the sides, but other shapes, such as oval, round, figure shapes, animal shapes and the like, are also possible. The recesses and / or protrusions of the game stones or the dots can also be arranged in any desired pattern, and for instance correspond to characteristic features of a like | pattern chosen figure, animal or the like. Hereby will! It is clear that, when using a game board, the shape of the elements protruding from the game board; should be adjusted accordingly to correctly hold and stack the game stones.

In order to keep the score in a simple manner, the game board may be provided with means for keeping the score. An example of such means 5 on a game board 1 is schematically shown in figure 1. The means 5 contain rotatable discs on which the numbers 0 to 9 are applied. The game board 1 is provided with a viewing recess so that one digit each indicating the score is visible on the rotatable disc.

Although only a limited number of embodiments of game stones have been described above by way of example only in order to keep the description of the invention brief, it will be clear that several alternative embodiments of game stones are possible. Figures 8A to 8H show schematically L, in section, some of the possibilities. * 35 Stones can thus either be provided on either the top surface or the bottom surface either with dot-shaped elements, or on both surfaces, whereby a ~ 1009913 16 combination can further be made with or without recesses on the same surface or the surfaces are provided as dot-shaped elements, or just when dot-shaped elements are applied to only one surface, there are recesses on the other surface, or on both surfaces or on none of the surfaces. In addition, the dots may, for example, be glued to the relevant surface (Fig. 8A) or be incorporated wholly or partly in the game stone, whereby for instance a dot-10-shaped element can extend through the entire game stone. Furthermore, the dot-shaped elements may or may not protrude, protruding elements being preferred because of the simple ability to check whether a game stone has been placed correctly on another game stone. Figure 8H shows an embodiment in which the game stone is provided with an upper surface 81 and an at least substantially parallel running bottom surface 82, wherein in the game stone 80 a third number of cavities 83 are provided, which are arranged according to a predetermined pattern, each of the cavities 83 debouches on the top surface 81 through a first opening 84 and debouches on the bottom surface 82 through a second aperture 85, the apertures 84, 85 having a cross section smaller than the diameter of the cavity 83, with a fourth number, not more than the third number, of the cavities 83 movably accommodates an element 86, which element 86 has a height equal to the thickness of the game stone 80 and is provided with a first 87 and a second 88 end which fit into the 30 first 84 and second 85 has an aperture and a boss 89 placed in the cavity 83. In this way, the elements 86 can, for example, move upwards when the game stone 80 is placed on an underlying surface with protrusions, thereby forming protuberances above the top surface 81. It is preferable that - the elements 86 are (can) be returned to the original state after a game has ended.
