RU2223807C2 - Amusing table game involving fishing out of objects from basin - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: entertaining industry, in particular, individual and collective game called "catch small fish and catch large fish", which may be also used in competitions. SUBSTANCE: table game has reservoir simulating basin, set of fishing rods, figures of objects to be fished out and figures simulating underwater background and raised bottom relief, the latter figures being equipped with depressions of different depth for accommodating of figures of objects to be fished out. Reservoir may be made continuous from water-tight plastic and installed for rotation. Realistic modeling of basin underwater space and multiple-level arrangement of objects to be fished out allows geme construction to be close to natural basin environment. EFFECT: increased entertaining effect and simplified construction. 3 cl, 9 dwg

Description

 The invention relates to the production of board entertainment games.

 Known game of fishing with fish, characterized in that the capture and fishing of the survived fish is carried out by means of a fishing rod from a closed tank (US 5615881, IPC 7 A 63 F 9/00, 04/01/1997). A disadvantage of the known game is its low amusement in view of the lack of imitation of a reservoir.

 Also known is a game containing a fishing rod with a fishing line and a hook and a set of game figures made of plastic, intended for alternately connecting with a hook. Shapeless figures are alternately lowered into boiling water and only after that they take the form of fish or other objects to be caught (RU 2072881, IPC 7 A 63 F 9/00, 02/10/1997). The disadvantage of this game is that the figures are hooked by the player themselves, and not caught, as well as the lack and impossibility of achieving realistic underwater space and fishing in boiling water.

 One of the closest analogues is a board game, characterized in that it contains a reservoir that simulates a pond, a set of fishing rods and figures of fishing objects (US 5560615, IPC 7 A 63 V 71/02, 01/10/1996). A disadvantage of the well-known game is its low amusement and the complexity of constructive execution.

 The objective of the claimed invention is the creation of such a game, which, while simplifying the design, would provide an increase in entertainment.

 This goal is achieved in that the board game contains a reservoir that simulates a pond, a set of fishing rods, figures of fishing objects and figures that simulate an underwater landscape and relief elevations of the bottom. At the same time, figures imitating the underwater landscape and embossed elevations of the bottom have recesses at different levels for placing figures of the objects to be survived.

 This goal is also achieved by the fact that the tank is made of one-piece waterproof plastic.

 This goal is also achieved by the fact that the tank is mounted rotatably.

The invention is illustrated by drawings:
figure 1 shows a General view of the game;
figure 2 shows a section of a collection tank with a flat bottom;
figure 3 shows a section of a solid tank with a raised bottom;
Figures 4, 5, 6 show figures of objects to be survived and figures imitating an underwater landscape and embossed elevations of the bottom;
in Fig.7 - shows a fishing rod (rod);
on Fig - shows containers for figures of the objects to be survived;
figure 9 - shows a section of a collection tank with figures made on a common basis.

The board game "Catch the Big and Small Fish" contains:
- a reservoir that simulates a natural reservoir, figure 1, 2, 3.

 It can be of any shape: round, oval and polygonal; can be prefabricated, consisting of individual parts: bottom 1 and walls 2, or solid; can be mounted rotatably.

 The reservoir reservoir 3 or its components 1 and 2 can be made by stamping with a flat 4 or embossed 5 bottom. The material can be any durable stamping material suitable for stamping, up to thick cardboard.

 The relief elevations 6 of the bottom 4 are arranged in such a way that they can accommodate figures of the surviving objects of the game, in particular, figures of fish 7. For this, there are recesses (U) at different levels 8. If the bottom is initially flat 3, then the relief elevations are made separately 9 and fixed on a flat bottom 3 using special devices (SP) 10.

At the bottom of the tank, figures of the underwater landscape 11 are also fixed, which also have a joint venture 10. Figures 11, as well as figures 6 and 9, have U 8, on which figures of fishing objects 7 can be placed, thereby enhancing the effect of the volume of the reservoir and swimming figures of the objects to be survived;
- fish 7 of various shapes with metal parts 12 can be located evenly both at the bottom of the reservoir, and at 8 relief elevations 6, 9 and figures of the underwater landscape 10;
- Figures of other inhabitants of the reservoir 13 and random objects 14, which also contain metal parts 12 and can also be fished out by a fishing rod and bring fines or extra points to the player.

 The set of game figures 7, 9, 11, 13 and 14 can be made of cardboard, plastic or any suitable material.

- a set of fishing rods with a rod 15, an elastic thread 16, at the end of which there is a magnetic bait 17. The magnet 18 is connected to the rod rod using a cap 19 attached to the thread, or in another known manner
- the capacity of any arbitrary shape for the caught fish 20 and other figures of the fishing objects 21.

 Embossed elevations 9 and figures of the underwater landscape 11 can be fixed at the bottom of the tank when assembling the game in any convenient way. This can be done, for example, by introducing a joint venture 10 into slots 22 corresponding in shape to the bottom of the tank, or, for example, using magnets 23 mounted on the bottom of the tank 4, 5, and metal plates 24, mounted on the basis of figures 9 and 11, by combination.

 Figures 9 and 11 can also be made on a common basis 25 of plastic and mounted on a flat bottom 4 of a prefabricated or solid tank.

 All game details are painted according to purpose. The walls of the tank should preferably be made transparent. A picturesque pattern 26 is applied to the walls, imitating water and water surface.

 The game is as follows.

 Players, evenly distributing all the dynamic figures of the surviving objects 7, 13, 14, at the bottom of the tank and at U 8, are located around the reservoir, distribute fishing rods and tanks for the caught fish among themselves.

 The task of the players is to catch the largest number of fish as quickly as possible. Fish are added to the tank 20, and other figures of the objects to be survived are placed into the tank 21.

 They play for a certain period of time or until the fish are completely removed from the reservoir. For each fish caught, the player receives a point, and for fishing other figures 13 and 14 additional (if, for example, a treasure) or penalty points. The winner is the player who caught the most fish and prize figures and fewer penalty points.
