Description

 The invention relates to board games on the boards, in particular to a board game for several people, during which players carry out "private" and "state" transactions.

 A board game is known, which includes a set of chips distinguishable from one another representing players, a set of game money, a random number selection tool for determining the number of moves of a chip, and a playing field with a closed game path consisting of stations (US, A , 4522407).

 In such a board game, the random number picker determines the number of stations by which the player’s chip moves in one move.

 A closed game path includes one launch station and many property stations.

 Property stations are stations of various types of property that can generate income to its owner. In addition, property cards corresponding to property stations are involved in the game. A player whose chip has stopped at the property station can purchase this property if it has not already been purchased, or, otherwise, pay the rent to the owner of this property. The owner of a property is determined by the presence of a property card corresponding to that property.

 However, this board game has the disadvantage that the player who starts the game first appears to be in a obviously more advantageous position than the one who starts the game last, because the first player has more chances to become the owner of a larger amount of property than the last player who starts the last, which means to have constantly increasing profit in the form of rent from other players. As a result, the leader quickly emerges and interest in the game fades.

 A board game is also known (RU, A, 2014864), which differs from the above in that the playing field contains an additional closed playing path. Moreover, the additional closed game path consists of unmarked stations and at least one transition station to the main closed game path, which, in turn, also contains at least one transition station to the additional closed game path.

 An unmarked station is a station that leaves the player only the right to the next subsequent move.

 The introduction of unmarked stations into the game allows you to temporarily exclude a player (or several players) from the process of acquiring property - a source of constant profit, and thereby violate the player’s dependence on the turn sequence that initially fell to him.

 However, in this board game, a player whose chip is on an additional closed game path does not take an active part in the game until his chip gets on the main closed game path, which leads to a decrease in interest in the game for this player.

 The present invention is based on the task of creating a board game in which equiprobable conditions are provided for all players regardless of the order of their progress, and each of the players would be able to constantly take an active part in the game.

 The task underlying the present invention is solved by using a board game containing a playing field with at least one closed game path located on it, including one start station and many property stations, and a set of chips distinguishable from one another, a random number selection tool, a plurality of ownership cards according to the number of ownership stations, a set of game money, as well as distinctive details of chips, the number of which is at least one less than the number of chips.

 It is desirable that a plurality of property cards be formed by groups with an equal number of cards in each, and property cards of one group are indicated in one color different from the color of property cards of another group.

 Preferably, the game contains three distinctive pieces of chips and a set of chips distinguishable from one another contains six chips.

 For the convenience of the game, the distinctive features of the chips can be made in the form of caps adapted to interact with the upper part of the chip.

 Also, to create more complex playing conditions and thereby increase the interest in the game, two closed game paths can be performed on the playing field, the second path including many property stations, and, in this case, the first and second closed game paths at least one station transition from one game path to another.

 Preferably, at least one of the stations transition from one game path to another was combined with any of the stations except the launch station.

 In addition, to create more complex gaming conditions, at least one station of the planned event can be additionally included in at least one closed gaming path.

 As well as at least one random event station.

 A set of lottery tickets may be provided to determine the nature of the random event.

 In addition, it is desirable that the set of lottery tickets contains at least two different from one another group of lottery tickets.

 However, the greatest interest among the players arises if the number of groups of lottery tickets is one more than the number of distinctive details of the chips.

The invention is further explained in the description of specific options for its implementation with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 depicts in general terms a playing field of a board game according to the invention;
figure 2 - playing chip with a distinctive detail of the chip in the context.

 The game field shown in FIG. 1 comprises a first closed game path 1 and a second closed game path 2. Moreover, the first closed game path 1 includes one start station 3. The first and second closed game paths 1, 2 comprise property stations 4 and transition stations 5. Also, the first and second game paths 1, 2 contain stations 6, 7, 8 of the scheduled event and stations 9, 10 of the random event. In addition, any station except launch station 3 can simultaneously be a transition station 5, combined on path 1 with property stations 4 and on path 2 with stations 6, 7, 8 of the planned event and random event station 9.

 Station 6 of the planned event is labeled "Tax Police." Station 7 of the planned event - "STSI". Station 8 of the planned event - "Elections". Station 9 random event - "Casino". Station 10 of the random event - "Case".

 Each property station is marked with a specific property. Moreover, each property corresponds to a property card, which is marked with the mark corresponding to this property. Thus, the game involves a set of property cards corresponding to property stations 4.

 Property cards are divided into groups with the same number of property cards in each. Each group of property cards has its own color.

 In addition, the game contains a set of game money and, as a means of choosing a random number, a couple of dice.

 The game also includes a set of chips 11 different from each other (Fig. 2) - according to the number of players. Preferably, the set contains six chips 11 that differ in color from each other.

 In addition to chips, the game has three distinctive details of 12 chips. Distinctive details of 12 chips, as shown in figure 2, are made in the form of caps worn on the chip, which differ in color. So, in this embodiment, the distinguishing features of the chip are made one - red, one - green and one - blue.

 In addition, the game provides a set of lottery tickets. Moreover, a set of lottery tickets is composed of four groups of lottery tickets. Three groups of lottery tickets correspond to each specific distinctive feature of 12 chips. One group of lottery tickets is intended for players without distinctive details.

 The game according to the invention is played as follows.

 Before the start of the game, players play the distinctive details of 12 chips. Depending on what distinguishing feature 12 of the chips the player received, each player is assigned a different coefficient. So, the player who received the distinctive part 12 chips of red color is assigned a coefficient equal to five, the player who received the distinctive part 12 chips of green color, three, the player who received the distinctive part 12 chips of blue color, two, and the players who did not receive the distinguishing feature details 12 chips, - one.

 At the beginning of the game, each player receives a certain amount of money, depending on the distinguishing feature of the chip that he received as a result of a rally between the players, and the higher the coefficient assigned to the player, the greater the amount. The game money remaining after the issuance of all the game money intended for them to all the players forms a "bank".

 The number of stations through which each player’s chip 11 passes in one move is determined by throwing dice.

 The player whose chip has got to the property station has the right to acquire the corresponding property if this property has not yet been acquired.

 At the same time, in order to acquire property, the holder of the distinctive feature of the red chip needs to pay 150 game rubles to the bank, the holder of the distinctive feature of the green chip - 100 game rubles, the holder of the distinctive feature of the blue chip - 50 game rubles. After that, the corresponding property card is transferred to the player. Players who do not have a distinctive chip feature do not deposit game money into the bank to acquire property.

 In the event that player 11’s chip has got to the property station, the corresponding property card of which is held by another player, he must pay the rent to the owner of this property.

 The rent is calculated by multiplying the amount indicated at the property station by the number of property cards of the same group (color) as this property card from the owner of this property and by the coefficient assigned to the owner of this property.

 A player whose chip got to station 6 of the planned event, in accordance with the rules of the game, in case he has at least one property card, misses two moves.

 The player, whose chip 11 got to station 7 of the planned event, in accordance with the rules of the game, skips one turn.

 A player whose chip 11 got to station 8 of the planned event, if he has a distinctive feature of a red chip, must pay 50 game rubles to players who do not have distinctive chip details, 100 game rubles to a holder of a distinctive blue chip feature and 150 game rubles - to the holder of the distinctive detail of green color, if he has the distinctive detail of the chip of green color, he must pay 50 game rubles to players who do not have distinctive details of the chips and 100 game rubles to the holder of the difference the details of the blue chip, if he has a distinctive chip blue, he must pay 50 game rubles to players who do not have distinctive chip details, and if the player does not have a distinctive chip detail, he will receive 50 game rubles from the bank.

 A player whose chip 11 has entered a random event station 9 may make a bet. Moreover, the size of the bet should not exceed half of the amount of his playing money and the value of all the property he acquired. Further, if an even number falls on the dice, the player receives the amount of the bet made from the bank, if it is odd, the player deposits the amount of the bet made to the bank.

 The player whose chip 11 got to the random event station 10 must draw out a lottery ticket. Next, the actions indicated on the lottery ticket drawn by the player are performed. At the same time, if a player must make any payments, they are made taking into account the coefficient assigned to him, as described above. The player draws a lottery ticket from the group of lottery tickets corresponding to its distinguishing feature of the chip. Players who do not have distinctive chip features also only draw lottery tickets from their intended lottery ticket group.

 Each time, when the chip 11 passes through the start station 3, the player receives a certain amount of game money corresponding to his distinctive detail.

 If the chip 11 hits the transition station 5, the further movement of the chip is carried out on a different path from the station, to which the arrow of this transition station 5 points.

 The one who first gets 50% of the property cards wins.
