Description

The invention relates to board games and can be used as a means of intellectual development for children and adults.

The invention is aimed at training memory, developing combinational vision, tactical and strategic thinking, the ability to concentrate on several tasks at the same time, and helps improve intuitive thinking and psychoanalysis skills.

Board games on boards are known, containing as mandatory components a limited playing field in the form of a square, a set of chips of two contrasting colors and game elements bearing various symbols in the form of a special shape, color or special marks. Each of these games consists of achieving the final result by moving game elements across the playing field according to certain rules. The well-known game “CHESS” is a board game with special pieces (according to certain rules) on a 64-cell board (32 white cells, 32 black) for two partners. The game involves 8 pieces on each side (a king, a queen, two rooks, two bishops and a knight) and 8 pawns (Great Soviet Encyclopedia, https://bigenc.ru/sport/text/4691398). The disadvantage of the game is that the pieces are installed on the playing field in such a way that they can move from their positions when moving the playing board or when moving around the playing field during the game, as well as the absence of separate structural elements for storing chips, which does not provide convenience and reliability in operation and storage of the game.

A board game is known that contains a set of game elements and a game board including two interconnected parts. The upper side of the board parts is made with the image of the playing field. Parts of the board are made of elastic thermoplastic material, while at least in the body of one part of the board on the bottom side there are recesses for game elements (RF patent No. 148978 for the utility model “GAME BOARD”, IPC A63F 3/02.publ. 20.12.20140). The known disadvantage is the lack of ability to place and store game pieces on the playing field during the game. In addition, the famous game is characterized by low entertainment and monotony.

A board game that is closest in terms of essential features and chosen as a prototype is known, containing a set of game elements and a game board, including two parts hingedly connected to each other, each of which has a bottom with longitudinal and transverse walls, through which cavities are formed for storing game elements . The board game contains plates having a length less than the length of part of the board and installed on the longitudinal walls with the possibility of longitudinal reciprocating movement relative to them above the bottoms and the formation of gaps in the extreme positions of the plates, providing the ability to move game pieces through them into the cavity and back, the plates with the game field are made stationary on the longitudinal and transverse walls, and gaps for moving playing pieces through them into the cavity and back are provided along the longitudinal wall from its middle to the transverse wall in the lower right corner of each part of the board (application No. 92016505 for the issuance of a RF patent for the invention “BOARD FOR THE GAME", IPC A63F 3/02, publ. 08.27.1995). The disadvantage of the known game is the complexity of the design, the inability to place and store game elements on the playing field during the game, as well as compact placement after the end of the game. In addition, the famous game is characterized by low entertainment and monotony.

The invention works as follows.

Rules of the game:

Players determine in any way who will play with what chips: white or black. Black always makes the first move.

1) Players receive three 7 chips each: white, yellow, red for one player, and black, yellow, red for the other.

2) The remaining chips are mixed and placed in recess 11 on the playing field 10, chips 7 are stacked tightly to each other with the colored side down, after laying there will be a gap between the first and last chips.

Clockwise, the fourth chip in the base is turned over, this will be the “head”, respectively, the opposite side is the “tail”.

The fourth chip in the game is ALWAYS turned upside down!!!

The game is ready to start!

3) At the same time, the player can have no more than three of any chips 7 in his hands. For convenience, use special partitions 9 and recesses 12, 13 for chips 7.

4) Players take turns; on their turn, a player can:

Place the 7i chip from your rear (slots 12, 13) onto the playing field 10.

You cannot move your piece on the field in any direction to an adjacent cell (including diagonal, sideways and backward movement), but you cannot step over the pieces.

Take the first chip from the “head” of the base (notch 11), then immediately turn over the colored chip and the next one after it.

Drop chip 7 from the rear (notches 12, 13) to the base (notch 11), into the “tail”.

Attack your opponent. “Attack” involves the use of one red chip (hereinafter referred to as the Weapon), which is shown to the enemy. They use a cannon to attack the opponent’s chip, located on the adjacent cell to the player’s chip, take the place of the attacked chip, after the attack, the defeated chip and the Cannon are removed from the field, BUT one goes for removal, and the other returns to the base (notch 11) in the “tail”, the choice is yours attackers: return the opponent's piece to the game or the Weapon! They do this without showing which chip they put where!

Attack your opponent! “Range attack” - using two red chips (Weapons), you can attack an opponent’s chip located one cell from the player’s chip, moving the attacker to an adjacent cell in the direction of the attack. After the “Long Attack”, two chips are removed and one is returned to the base (notch 11) in the “tail”, at the attacker’s choice.

5) The yellow chip is an Obstacle and can be placed on the field at any time on a free cell next to its chip. Obstacles CANNOT be moved, they can be removed by using a Weapon, or by sacrificing your chip; after removing the Obstacle, both chips are removed from the field.

6) The green chip is an unremovable Obstacle. You can place it next to any of your pieces, forming the field relief that the player needs.

7) “Captive” - a situation on the field when the opponent’s piece is surrounded on four sides, or at the edge of the playing field on three sides, in which case the yellow or green piece is also a natural obstacle, replacing the active opponent’s piece. When a Captivity situation occurs, the surrounded piece is immediately removed from the field.

8) The final game is based on the count of chips remaining on the field, the player with the most chips wins.

15) If a player makes a cyclic move three times in a row, his opponent has the right to return his chip to the field from the removed ones.

The board game is characterized by a high degree of entertainment, developing not only logical thinking, but also intuitive-imaginative thinking. Play prevents the development of senile dementia and may reduce the likelihood of Alzheimer's disease.
