BACKGROUND
The invention relates to an electronic playing piece for use in a game with a plurality of playing pieces for being distributed in random groups to at least two players and for being juxtaposed by these players in a playing sequence. The invention further relates to a game with such electronic playing piece.
Additionally, the invention relates to a method for playing a game with a plurality of playing pieces for being distributed in random groups to at least two players and for being juxtaposed by these players in a playing sequence .
Such a game, for example, is known from the
German patent publication DE 1 805
55. The game is provided with a plurality of playing tiles, of which the upper sides are provided with numerical indicators and the undersides are unmarked. The playing tiles are arranged for being distributed in arbitrary groups to at least two players and for being placed adjacent to each other in a game sequence by the at least two players. Each of the playing tiles has a substantially triangular body with corners and in acute angle corners intersecting end faces, which are arranged to serve as standing surfaces for bearing upright playing tiles. The numerical indicators represent a value of the respective playing tile, and are provided in such a way at opposite corners at the upper side of the playing tiles, that the numerical indicators are commonly readable from one direction. The playing tiles can be juxtaposed in such manner, that the numerical indicators of adjacent corners form mating pairs.
At the beginning of playing the game, the playing tile having the highest value, being called the starting playing tile, is placed by one of the players. Subsequently, a next player juxtaposes a following playing tile to the starting playing tile, whereby the numerical indicators of adjacent corners must form mating pairs. This is repeated until all playing tiles are placed. The score of each of the players is determined based on the value of the playing tiles laid down by the respective player.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A disadvantage of the known game is that the gameplay is predictable at lea

the present invention to ameliorate or to eliminate one or more disadvantages of the known game, to provide a game with an improved gameplay or to at least provide an alternative game.
According to a first aspect, the invention provides an electronic playing piece for use in a game with a plurality of playing pieces for being distributed in random groups to at least two players and for being juxtaposed by these players in a playing sequence, wherein the electronic playing piece comprises:
- a polygonal piece body with multiple corners and corners intersecting side faces, the polygonal piece body further comprising a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, and
- multiple numerical indicators provided at the first side and at the corners of the polygonal piece body, wherein the electronic playing piece further comprises :
multiple displays located at the corners of the polygonal piece body, each display being adapted for displaying one of the multiple numerical indicators, and
- a numerical indicator generator configured for generating a random numerical indicator for each display and in data communication with each of the multiple displays for communicating the respective random numerical indicator to each display.
The use of the electronic playing piece according to the invention in a game provides an increased unpredictability of the gameplay and, therefore, increased excitement during playing the game. The random numerical indicator displayed by each display provides an electronic playing piece with changing or changeable numerical indicators. The players of the game, therefore, are challenged to be more creative during playing the game, as they have to anticipate the changing or changeable numerical indicators of the electronic playing piece.
It is noted that the numerical indicators of the electronic playing piece are changeable upon request thereto or periodically. The electronic playing piece, for example, can be used as the starting playing tile of which the numerical indicators are changed at the start of the game. Additionally, the electronic playing piece can be used as a subsequent playing piece of which the numerical indicators are changed just before placement of the electronic playing piece. Due to the changing numerical indicators, it becomes more difficult to foresee the next possible step with the electronic playing piece, thereby increasing the unpredictability of the gameplay.
The electronic playing piece also has a polygonal piece body with multiple corners and corners intersecting side faces, wherein the polygonal piece body further comprises a first side and a second side opposite to the first side. The numerical indicators of the electronic playing piece are also provided at the first side and at the corners of the polygonal piece body. Accordingly, the electronic playing piece with the changing or changeable numerical indicators can be used in a game known in the prior art, thereby improving the gameplay of the game.
It is noted that in the context of the present patent application, a numerical indicator has to be understood as a character or a number. Preferably the playing pieces of the game are similar in shape and dimensions .
In an embodiment the electronic playing piece comprises a processing unit operatively connected to the numerical indicator generator and configured for controlling the numerical indicator generator to generate a random numerical indicator for at least one of the displays. An advantage of this embodiment is that the processing unit can be used for controlling the numerical indicator generator, for example, in accordance with a controlling scheme.
In an embodiment the electronic playing piece comprises a trigger button operatively connected to the processing unit and arranged for triggering the processing unit to control the numerical indicator generator to generate a random numerical indicator for at least one of the displays when the trigger button is manipulated. Preferably the trigger button extends from the first side of the polygonal piece body. By means of the button, the user of the electronic playing piece is enabled to generate another random numerical indicator for each of the displays by manipulating the trigger button. This is advantageous as this gives the user the possibility to change the numerical indicators of the electronic playing piece when desired.
In an embodiment the electronic playing piece comprises a counter for counting time elapsed, wherein the counter is configured to provide a counting signal indicating that a predetermined period of time has lapsed. In a further embodiment thereof the counter is operatively connected to the processing unit, wherein the processing unit is configured to control the numerical indicator generator to generate a random numerical indicator for at least one of the displays upon receipt of the counting signal. In this embodiment the numerical indicators of the electronic playing piece are changed automatically when the predetermined period of time has lapsed. As the user of the electronic playing piece does not know, at least not exactly, when the numerical indicators will change, this results in an increase of unpredictability of the gameplay.
In an embodiment the electronic playing piece comprises a counter button operatively connected to the counter and configured for starting and/or resetting the counter. Preferably the counter button extends from the first side of the polygonal piece body. It is therefore possible to start or reset the counter when, for example, a new game is started or when it is the next player's turn.
In an embodiment the trigger button and the counter button are provided as a single button. An advantage of this embodiment is that by pressing one button the numerical indicators are generated and the counter is started or reset simultaneously. This, for example, can be done at the start of a new round of playing the game.
In an embodiment the electronic playing piece comprises a sound generator configured for generating a sound. In an embodiment thereof the sound generator is operatively connected to the processing unit, wherein the processing unit is configured to control the sound generator to generate a sound when the numerical indicator generator is controlled to generate a random numerical indicator for at least one of the displays and/or when the counting signal is received by the processing unit. By means of the generated sound, it is made clear to the user that new random numerical indicators are generated and/or that the predetermined period of time has lapsed. When the predetermined time has lapsed, the present turn of one of the players, for example, is over and it is the next player's turn.
In an embodiment the electronic playing piece comprises an energy source provided within the polygonal piece body thereof. Preferably the energy source is a battery. It is noted that the battery can be replaceable.
In an embodiment at least one of the displays is selected from the group comprising a seven-segment display and a dot-matrix display. The electronic playing piece, for example, can be dropped onto a floor during use, or can be thrown, for example, by a kid. As the seven-segment display and the dot-matrix display have as advantages that both are among others relatively simple electronic circuits and are reliable, the displays are able to resist user impacts.
In an embodiment the polygonal piece body is provided with an internal space in which the displays are provided at a surface of the first side facing the internal space of the polygonal piece body, wherein the first side of the polygonal piece body is manufactured from an at least partially light transmitting material. An advantage of this embodiment is that the displays, or at least the contents displayed thereby, are visible to the user from outside the electronical playing piece, while the displays themselves are protected by the first side of the polygonal piece against detrimental impacts from the outside.
In an embodiment the polygonal body is a triangular body having three corners and a display at each of the corners. Alternatively the polygonal body comprises two triangular sub-bodies each having three corners and a display at each of the corners. In an embodiment thereof the electronic playing piece is intended to be applied at the game called Triominos. This is advantageous as that the electronic playing piece can be sold separately as an addition to a Triominos game.
In an embodiment the numerical indicator generator is configured to generate random numerical indicators selected from the group comprising 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. These numerical indicators are currently used with the existing Triominos, therewith making the electronic playing piece suitable for being used in the known Triominos game.
