Description

 The invention relates to board games.

 Known board game, including a means of selecting a random number from a variety of different.

 This board game organizes a pseudo-financial competition between players, simulating various aspects of the socio-economic life of human society. It contains a set of chips that are distinguishable from one another, representing players, and a game board, on the playing surface of which game paths are applied, on which game chips are installed with the ability to move. The game paths along which game chips move depending on the readings of a pair of game cubes (a means of choosing a random number of positions that a chip should go in one player's turn) contain a large number of different stations - positions with different markings that regulate certain certain actions player. There are property stations (stations for placing real estate capable of generating income for the player who owns the property and expenses for other players in the form of rent to the property owner), income stations (payments to players from the state bank), tax payment stations (to the bank) and others. The game is exciting, characterized by complex rules that allow players to choose their strategy and tactics. However, the device of the game does not provide for modeling such a situation of real life when a random significant event occurs, characterized by the fact that, for one or another set of different circumstances, it can turn out to be either a major success or serious trouble.

 A board game is also known, including a means of selecting a random number from a variety of different probabilities and a set of lottery cards, each of which contains a description of its own version of a significant event for the player.

 In this game, also equipped with a set of distinguishable from one another chips representing players, and a game board, on the playing surface of which a game path is applied, on which game chips are installed with the ability to move, in contrast to the above-mentioned stations of a significant event are introduced into the game path - Lottery (Chance) station, where a player’s gain or loss is not predetermined in advance, but depends on the circumstances - on which card of a significant event variant he will randomly draw from a pile at random. However, it does not take into account the fact that the most significant random events, both positive and negative in real life, occur extremely rarely, only when a large number of different circumstances occur. Here, a player with equal probability can draw a card from the pile with a big win (loss) and with a small win (loss).

 The task to which the invention is directed was to increase the entertainingness of the game by modeling a life phenomenon consisting in the unlikely occurrence of events that differ from each other in terms of their significance: the probability of an event occurring is the less, the greater its significance.

 The achievement of this technical result is ensured due to the fact that in a board game that includes a means of selecting a random number from a multitude of different probabilities and a set of lottery cards, each of which contains a description of its variant of a significant event for the player, each card is numbered with its own random number, the probability of which is lower , the higher the degree of significance for the player of this option in the series of the totality of options for the event.

 To save playing time, lottery cards can be connected in the sequence determined by their numbering, with the formation of a list of events.

 Due to the fact that the game contains a set of cards of options for a significant event, equipped with instructions for actions that vary in degree of significance for players, and a tool that allows you to generate a set of numbers that differ in the probability of their random choice, it is possible to organize a functional relationship between the parameters of significance and probability by appropriate numbering of cards: the card with the most significant indication is numbered by a number, the probability of which is minimal, and vice versa.

 If the option cards are scattered, then finding the right one will take more playing time than when they form a general list in order, for example, increasing numbers.

 In FIG. 1 shows a board game board general view; in FIG. 2 - a variant of a significant event.

 The board game includes a tool for selecting a random number from a variety of different probabilities and a leaflet entitled "A random event in your life" - a printed list of options for a significant event. In addition, a specific embodiment of the game involves the presence of a game board and a set of distinguishable from one another game chips representing players and made, for example, in the form of multi-colored plastic figures. As a means of choosing a random number from a variety of different probabilities, for example, a pair of identical playing cubes can be used, on the faces of each of which a different number (from 1 to 6) of the same marks - points of a contrasting color - is applied. The probability of a random number 7 falling out by the sum of the readings of two cubes is maximum, and the random numbers 2 and 12 are minimal. On the playing surface of the playing board there is a closed playing path, consisting of variously marked positions - stations: station 1 of the property; station 2 prizes; 3 fine stations; station 4 rest; station 5 significant event. On the way with the ability to move installed gaming chips. In the list of options for a significant event, each of the eleven options for instructions for a player is numbered by their number: the texts of the options (lottery cards) follow each other in ascending order of number. The number of one or another variant of a significant random event is determined by the sum of the readings of a pair of dice, i.e. random number N = 2,3, ..., 12 from the set of different probabilities. Under N 7 in the list there is a “zero” option (nothing accidental happened), as the number in the row N 7 - N 2 decreases, the importance of positive instructions for the player increases: N 6 - the right to make an additional move; N 5 - receives from the bank 500 rubles; N 4 - receives from the bank 10,000 rubles; N 3 - all players give you 5000 rubles each; N 2 - all players give you 10,000 rubles each; and as the number in the row N 7 - N 12 increases, the importance of negative instructions for the player increases: N 8 miss your next move; N 9 hand over 5,000 rubles to the bank; N 10 is handed over to the bank 10,000 rubles; N 11 pay each player 5000 rubles; N 12 pay each player 10,000 rubles.

 To streamline the implementation of financial transactions between players, the game may include a set of game money and a set of patents certifying the right to a property with a similar corresponding station 1 marked C11-C63. Amounts of income (expense) can be directly printed at positions - stations 1, 2 and 3; in FIG. 1, these amounts are not shown conditionally.

 The game is as follows.

 Each player is given the same amount of playing money. The rest of the money is stacked - in the bank. All patents are stacked in another pile. One of the players is chosen by the banker who will control the operations with the bank of money and patents.

 Players place their chips on one of four stations 4 of their choice and in turn roll a pair of dice. The one to whom the highest number according to the sum of the testimony of cubes has got the right of the first move, the remaining players will walk in the order of their arrangement around the playing board in a clockwise direction.

 Players take turns to roll a couple of dice and, in accordance with the random number that falls out, start moving along the path in a clockwise direction. When a chip stops at station 2, the player is awarded a prize in the amount indicated at the station, the amount taken from the bank, and at station 3 - the corresponding penalty, which is paid to the bank. Station 4 not only does not bring any income (expense), but also forces the player to skip his next next move. The player whose chip will stand at some station 1 must pay a fee to the bank in the amount of the specified amount and obtain a patent for the right to own this property. This right means that if in the course of further play some other player gets to the station indicated in the patent, the holder of the patent (property owner) has the right to receive a rent from him in the amount of half the amount indicated on the corresponding station. If a player manages to acquire three nearby stations 1 with the same first digits in the designation (for example, C11, C12 and C13), this means that he became the owner of a concern that can bring him superprofits, and other players who fall on any station of ownership included in the group is required to pay the holder of the patent double the amount of the rent.

 A player whose chip got up at one of stations 5 gets into extraordinary conditions - an accidental, spontaneous significant event should happen in his life. He again throws a couple of dice, adds up their testimonies and, by sum, determines the number under which he finds his own version of a significant event in the list.

 You can play this game for a while (for example, within an hour), and for the amount (for example, until the moment when one of the partners becomes a millionaire).

 A game board may contain a large number of game paths of various lengths and shapes, differing in the percentage of stations of a significant event. The number of variants of a significant event can be significantly increased if, for example, as a means of choosing a random number from a multitude of odds, use only one dice that rolls three times in a row with fixing each time the number falls out, so that a three-digit number is formed (132, 222, 651 ... etc.) used to number the variant of a random significant event. This will increase gaming interest.

 The totality of the declared essential features with the achievement of a similar technical effect can be realized not only in a business game, but also in a simple game - "Blitz Lottery".
