Abstract

FIELD: table games. SUBSTANCE: dominoes have set of playing plates, each divided into two playing fields with holes formed in their surface. Number of playing plates is equal to twenty. Holes are formed on each playing field, with maximal selected number of holes on one field being equal to two. Each hole is provided with additional mark, with number of marks being equal to four. One hole with one of two any types of marks in equal number is formed on one playing field of each playing plate. Each type of marks on field with one hole corresponds to all possible combinations of two types of marks out of three marks on other fields, and one hole with mark of the same type. EFFECT: increased entertaining effect by allowing game to be played in several kitties with set of pips providing wider number of drawing versions and reduced time of one kitty. 2 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to board games, in particular to games of the Domino type, and can be used to develop observation and logical thinking in both children and adult players.

 The classic game of dominoes [1] is known, containing a set of plates, each of which is divided into two playing fields with holes or dots plotted on the fields from 0 to 6 in all possible combinations. Dominoes play from 2 to 4 people, exposing plates alternately so that the adjoining playing fields of different plates contain the same number of holes or dots. The one who puts all his plates first wins. The game can be held in several cones with scoring (one hole or point - one point) remaining in the hands of the players. The total number of plates in a classic domino is 28.

 The objective of the invention was to create a domino game primarily for playing several cones with a set of points with extended compared to the prototype options for the draw and unexpected endings, while reducing the time by one con.

 This problem is solved by a domino game containing a set of plates, each of which is divided into two playing fields with holes or points deposited on the surface, while holes or points are made on each playing field, the maximum number of holes or points on one playing field is chosen by two, each a hole or point is provided with one additional mark, and the number of mark types is four. The number of plates may vary. For the children’s option, a set of twenty plates is optimal, on one playing field of each plate there is one hole or point with one of any two types of marks in equal numbers, while each type of mark on one field corresponds to all possible combinations of two types of marks from three to other fields, as well as one hole with the same label.

 The "adult" version of the game contains thirty-six plates, including four plates with two holes or points in each playing field with the same marks on each plate and thirty-two plates with one hole or point on the same playing field with one of any two types of marks in an equal amount (16 each) and two holes or points on other playing fields with all possible combinations of two types of marks from four for each mark on the adjacent playing field.

 The game "Domino" is illustrated by drawings.

 Figure 1 presents the game with the number of plates 20.

 Figure 2 presents the game with the number of plates 36.

Domino contains a set of plates 1, each of which is divided into two playing fields with holes. Each well is equipped with one of four types of tags. In figure 1 and 2, for explanation, the following types of labels are used:
The 1st type of marks is a smooth surface of the hole without any additional marking (holes 2);
2nd type - a vertical stroke on the surface of the hole (hole 3);
3rd type - horizontal stroke on the surface of the hole (hole 4);
4th type - V-shaped stroke on the surface of the hole (hole 5).

 In a set of twenty plates (figure 1), each plate 1 in one playing field contains one hole 3 or hole 5 in equal numbers (10 each). The neighboring playing fields of plates 1 contain all possible combinations of two holes 2, 3, 4. One plate 1 is made with one hole 4 in each playing field and one plate 1 is made with one hole 5 in each playing field (hollow).

 In a set of thirty-six plates (FIG. 2), four plates 1 are made with a combination of two holes 2, two holes 3, two holes 4 and two holes 5 (hollows) in the playing fields. Thirty-two plates contain in one playing field one hole 3 or 5 in equal quantity, and in other fields - all possible combinations of two holes 2, 3, 4, 5.

 When playing, the principle of classic dominoes is used, that is, plates 1 are set alternately so that the joined playing fields of adjacent plates contain the same set of holes 2, 3, 4 or 5. The approach in each horse starts with one of the “hollows” by agreement of the players. Starting from the fourth move (excluding missed moves due to the lack of the desired plate), at least one player can put a “fish”, that is, create a position in which none of the players will have the opportunity to move. Thus, after each cone, each player will have plates 1 with a certain number of holes (points). The winner can be the team or player who quickly exposes all of their plates or scores the least points when the game ends with “fish”. The team or player who loses 44 points or more will lose. The minimum number of players is 2, the maximum in the first version is 4-5, in the second - 6. Additional tags can represent not only line marking, but also, for example, color marking (each label is a specific color).

 A set of plates for the claimed game can be made from a wide range of materials, primarily from various types of polymers using well-known technological equipment.
