The invention relates to games.

It is a well-known domino game containing a set of flat rectangular game elements marked in the form of labels, relative to the line dividing the game element into adjacent halves, with all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the range of numbers from 0 to 6. There are special cases of the game with a different range of numbers, which can be from 0 to A, where A is an integer from the interval from I to 9. Moreover, the set of game elements makes up a complex of sets of game elements with intervals of numbers from 0 to A in each set, which can be obtained by sequentially nogo exclusion of numbers set A to 0.

A disadvantage of the known game is that the games are held with game information partially closed to the players, and that the game elements are randomly distributed between the players before the start of the game, which does not give players equal chances to win.

The essence of the invention lies in the fact that a game field is used for the game, on which game information applied to the game elements can be completely open, and that the game uses equivalent sets of game elements or sets of game elements distributed into pairs of proportional game groups, which provides players with equal chances to win.

The invention is achieved in that the playing field using linear marking is divided into cells similar to the form of game elements. Cells make up the vertical and horizontal rows of cells, and form the correct rectangular configuration of the playing field despite the fact that the number of ver2001113017

the vertical and horizontal rows of cells for different numbers of game elements used in the game are different, and is at least four vertical and at least four horizontal rows of cells with a dark and light designation in order to conveniently track the diagonal movements of game elements during the game, and subdivided by thinner linear markings into adjacent halves so that rectangular game elements can be conveniently positioned both linearly and horizontally in the framework of linear marking operek of the playing field, despite the fact that the optimal shape of the playing elements and cells of the playing field is a rectangle with an aspect ratio of 1: 2.

Moreover, the game may contain one or more sets of game elements, each of which has an external difference from the rest of the sets, while one or more sets of game elements in each set are divided into pairs of game groups with an equal number of game elements and a proportional number of digits represented in groups having designations corresponding to each group.

With an odd number of game elements in the set, as well as with an incompatibility of the number of game elements in the set with the correct rectangular configuration of the game field, that is, with the game field, the number of cells in the vertical and horizontal rows is a graphic product of two integer numbers, as well as to compare with the playing fields that can be applied in the game, which are different in the number of vertical and horizontal rows of cells, the sets necessary for equal distribution are added to sets in sets matching the number of game elements with pairs of numbers printed that repeat the pairs of numbers already in the set.

Sets or groups of game elements are located on the playing field in the initial game positions, observing the equal chances of players to win, differing for players by the external differences between the sets or symbols of the respective game groups. At the same time, orienting signs are applied to the game elements to orient game elements on the playing field, and the same way to distinguish game elements by players.

In addition to the traditional method, labels indicating numbers can be applied to the game elements at the three outer edges of each adjacent half of the game elements so that O, I, 2, 3 tags are applied to each edge, in total giving numbers from 0 to 9, which allows you to put on game elements are other designations, and it also allows you to arrange game elements relative to each other during the game according to various rules.

In FIG. I, 2, 3, 4 shows the front side of the game elements of various sets.

In FIG. 5 and 6 are embodiments of the front side of the game elements.

In FIG. 7 is a view of two cells of the playing field.

In FIG. 9 - the back of various game elements

In FIG. 8, 10. II, 12, 13, 14, 15. 16, 17 - various initial game positions of sets and rjynn of game elements in their respective game fields.

The first set includes game elements with all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the range of numbers from 0 to 9, as well as an added game element that repeats the already existing game element with a pair of identical numbers / double / O / O. A total of 56 game elements.

The front side of the game elements of the first set is shown in FIG. I. Lines I game elements are divided into adjacent halves, with respect to which pairs of numbers in the form of marks are applied to the game elements 2. The edges of the game elements are delimited by a light frame 3 along the perimeter of the game elements, each adjacent half of which has three external ones. Each edge is marked with 0.1, 2, 3 marks in total giving numbers from 0 to 9. Orientation symbols are applied to the game elements in the form of orienting arrows 4 perpendicular to the dividing lines with a direction towards one of the end edges of the game elements. Orientation arrows are not marked on game elements having numbers seven, eight and nine, since sets of game elements in the first set including these numbers in games using orientation arrows are not applied.

The second set includes game elements with all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the range of numbers from 0 to b, in the same way as one game element repeating the existing O / O, 1D, 2/2, V4, 5/5 doubles, 6/6, and two game elements repeating a 3/3 take. A total of 36 game elements.

The front side of the game elements of the second set is shown in FIG. 2. Structurally, the game elements of the second set do not differ from the first set, but dark points 5 in the center are applied to the game elements of the second set, providing an external difference between the sets.

The order of labeling numbers in the first and second sets is partially not the same. Not fig. 2, game elements having the number zero are not shown, but such a number is indicated, as in all sets, by the absence of labels. Orienting arrows are marked on all game elements of the second set.

The third set includes game elements with all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the range of numbers from 0 to 8, as well as one game element repeating the existing O / O, 2/2, 4/4 doubles in the set. Only 48 game elements.

The front side of the game elements of the third set is shown in FIG. 3. Structurally, the game elements of the third set do not differ from the first and second, but the external difference from the first and second sets is ensured by the presence of dark or light triangles 6 applied to one of the adjacent halves of the game elements of the third set, one of the vertices of which is directed towards one of the end edges of game elements, and which are at the same time orientation signs. In addition, orienting arrows are applied to the game elements of the third set. The order of labeling the numbers marked on the game elements of the third set is partially different from the first and the same with the second set.

The fourth set includes game elements with all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the range of numbers from 0 to 3, as well as game elements repeating all existing duplicates and three copies of game elements repeating all existing game elements in the set5.

copies with unequal pairs of digits / doubles /, then “duplicates in this set are presented twice, and subdoubles four times. A total of 32 game elements.

The front side of the game elements of the fourth set in FIG. 4. Labels denoting the numbers of the game elements of this set are risks 7, which are applied only at the end edges of the game elements. The external difference of the fourth set from the rest of the sets is the absence of a light frame on the game elements of this set, which is available along the perimeter of the game elements of the remaining sets. Orienting arrows on the game elements of the fourth set are plotted in the same way as on other sets. Light 8 or dark 9 orienting arrows are simultaneously symbols for the corresponding game groups.

Game elements can be made in the form of cards. Externally distinguishing between sets of game elements can be expressed not only with the help of graphic notations, but also with the help of color painting of the inner zones 10 / FIG. I / limited by light frames on the front side of the game elements. The coloring should be tinted so that the orientation signs are visible. On the reverse side of the game elements, a color shirt can also be applied that distinguishes sets of game elements from each other.

The appearance of the game elements can be made in a different way. In the simplest form, the front side of the game elements can be made as shown in FIG. 5 or FIG. 6, on which marks II designating numbers are applied to game elements in the traditional way for dominoes. In this form, the game may contain only one or two sets of game elements. If the game contains two sets, then the designations corresponding to the game groups must be applied on the back of the game elements, despite the fact that the painted zones are 12 / Fig. 5 and 6 / are the external difference between the sets, and if the game contains one set of game elements, then the designations of the corresponding groups of game elements are the colored zones 12 on the front side of the game elements. With three sets contained in the game, coloring can be three-color.

Sets can have a different number of game elements, as well as a different number of added game elements, and accordingly include different sets of game elements distributed to proportional game groups in each set, and therefore the game may contain different game fields.

Minimum for the game is a playing field of four vertical and four horizontal rows of cells. For such a field, a set of game elements may be suitable including all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the interval from 0 to 2, to which two game elements have been added, repeating the existing O / O and 2/2 doubles so that there are eight game elements in the set , and when distributing the set into two game groups with a proportional number of digits represented in the groups, each group had four game elements „and they could be compared in the initial game positions with the correct rectangular configuration of the game cells la, i.e., each group is fully occupying one of opposite horizontal rows of cells. Such a set can be isolated from the complex of one or another set of game elements contained in the game by excluding from the set those game elements that will not be used. The distribution of such a set into two proportional game groups can be:

1/0/0, I / I, 2/2, 0/2.

2/0/1, 1/2, O / O, 2/2.

Similarly, other sets of game elements in the sets are organized and sets are distributed into proportional game rjynnbi. Four sets of game elements described in the description of the invention demonstrate different in accordance with the invention possibilities for playing games.

For these four sets of game elements, the game contains a game field having ten vertical and ten horizontal rows of cells. When using one or another number of game elements in the game, the necessary dimensions of the game field can be smaller, and then the cells of the game field not used in the game are closed by the game elements not used in the game laid out on the back of them. Or, for certain sets, certain playing fields can be made. A game may contain only one set of game elements and a corresponding playing field.

The appearance of the two cells of the playing field is shown in FIG. 7. Dark and light designations are applied in checkers to the cells of the playing field in the form of dark areas 13 smaller than the size of the playing field cells, which provides better visibility of the linear marking of 14 cells of the playing field. Light cells 15 do not have dark areas. A finer linear marking 16 divides the cells into adjacent halves. The sizes of the cells of the playing field are slightly larger than the sizes of the playing fields.

elements.

In the first set of game elements containing combinations of pairs of numbers from 0 to 9, not two game groups are distributed from E8 game elements with combinations of pairs of numbers from 0 to b, and therefore game elements with numbers seven, eight and nine in the first set are not have orienting arrows. The distribution of the set into Two game groups with an equal number of game elements and a proportional number of numbers represented in the groups, and the initial game positions of these groups on the playing field are shown in FIG. 8. For 28 game elements, a field of seven vertical and eight horizontal rows of cells is necessary. The set is matched with the correct rectangular configuration of the playing field, since each game group fully occupies two opposite horizontal rows of cells. In this case, the set has no added game elements repeating the pairs of numbers already existing in the set.

The paired digits printed on the game elements are shown in FIG. 8 fractions 17 with "slave numbers within the framework of the schematic cells of the playing field. Orienting arrows must be marked on the game elements of the first set in accordance with the game positions shown in FIG. 8, that is, in the initial game positions, the orientation arrows should be directed towards the opposite game group, as shown in FIG. 8 schematically. During the game, players distinguish game elements of different game groups with the help of orienting arrows.

initial game positions due to the fact that in domino games, game elements interact when matching the same airborne forces of two different game elements, and therefore game groups should be directed at each other by an equal number of numbers capable of interacting, having an equal number of numbers able to interact in the rear.

Numbers 18 in FIG. 8, the sums of the numbers printed on the game elements in each horizontal row are written. Numbers 19 are the sums of the numbers printed on the game elements in each vertical row. The numbers 20 are the sums of the numbers printed on the game elements in vertical rows for each game group. According to the given numbers, it can be seen that the numbers capable of interacting for groups are uniformly located within the playing field, which, among other things, provides equal winnings for players.

The distribution of game elements into two game groups is indicated on the back of the game elements of the first set by crosses 21 printed on the game elements of one of the groups / Fig. 9/.

In the first set of game elements, the added O / O take does not have an orienting arrow.

In the second set of game elements, all 36 game elements are distributed into two proportional game groups, the initial game positions of which are shown in FIG. 10. In this and subsequent figures, the numbers printed on the game elements are the same as not FIG. 8 are shown in fractions with Arabic numerals within the schematic cells of the playing field. On the number of vertical and horizontal rows of cells of the playing field necessary for certain groups or sets of game elements, and on the number of fully occupied

they are horizontal rows of cells in the initial game positions, in the further description is not mentioned, since this can be seen in the figures, the same is not mentioned about the sums of the numbers applied by HP game elements in vertical and horizontal rows, and about the number and orientation of the numbers that can interact in each group or set, if this is not particularly necessary.

Orienting arrows on game elements of the second set. Must be marked in accordance with their position in FIG. 10. In all subsequent figures, if necessary, this is indicated schematically, as in FIG. 8.

The distribution into two game groups of 36 game elements of the second set is indicated on the back by crosses 21 printed on the game elements of one of the groups (Fig. 9/).

In addition, in the second set of game elements, a set of 32 game elements is distributed into two proportional game groups. In this case, the added doubles O / O, 6/6 and two doubles 3/3 are excluded from the kit, and the doubles 1/1, 2/2, 4Д, 5/5 are left in the set from the added ones, repeating the ones already in the set, The distribution of such a set into two game groups and the initial game positions of the groups on the playing field are shown in FIG. II. Orienting arrows marked on game elements of the second set in accordance with FIG. 10 correspond to both this distribution and the initial game positions. The initial game positions of groups of game elements on the playing field may have various options, but the direction of the orientation symbols must be observed.

mi 22 applied by HP the reverse side of the game elements of one of the groups so. that the cross 21, 22, the cross in the circle 23 or nothing is applied on the reverse side of the game elements / FIG. 9/. Each sticky designation indicates that a game element belongs to a game group of one order or another as part of a second set of game elements.

The game can use two gambling sets of game elements. In particular, game elements of the first set without game elements having numbers 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. and game elements of the second set without game elements having numbers 5 and 6 can be taken for the game. Only duplicates remain in the equal-valued sets thus obtained. O / O available in the sets, and in total there are 16 game elements in the sets. The starting game positions of such sets are shown in FIG. 12. The principle of arrangement of game elements in the initial game positions for two equal-valued sets differs from the principle of arrangement in the initial game positions of two groups of game elements from the same set, since for each game element there is an analog in another set. Fundamental is that Diany analogs can be tied to each other either capable of interacting with numbers or indifferent numbers. When two sets of game elements are located in the initial game positions, the direction of the orienting designations may not be observed, since the game elements of the set are distinguished from the enemy game elements by external differences between the sets of which the game elements are slept, but in the night game positions shown in FIG. 12 direction of oriental arrows observed.

In the third set of game elements, all 48 game elements are distributed into two proportional game groups, the initial game positions of which are shown on the game poly in FIG. 13. The orienting arrows on the game elements of the third set shall be plotted in accordance with the position of the game elements in the Data of the initial game positions.

The distribution of 48 game elements of the third set into two game groups is indicated on the back of the game elements by crosses 21 / Fig. 9/.

In addition, in the third set of game elements, a set of 36 game elements without game elements having the number eight and without added game elements is distributed into two proportional game groups. The starting game positions of two game groups of such an HP set of playing field are shown in FIG. 14, These two groups are directed to each other not by orienting arrows, but by the vertices of the triangles b / Fig. 3 /. In one game group, these triangles are dark, in the other light. The triangles should be applied to the game elements of the third set oriented in accordance with the initial game positions shown in FIG. 14. The direction of orientation of the vertices of the triangles on some game elements of the third set does not coincide with the direction of the orienting arrows.

The game elements of the third set having the number eight and the added doubles are marked with combined triangles 24 / Fig. 3 /, that is, triangles that do not indicate the direction of orientation, but distinguish the game elements of the third set from the game elements of the remaining sets.

The distribution of 36 game elements in the third set for two game groups is indicated on the back of the game elements to the LCDs 22 / Fig. 9 /, applied to game elements of one of the groups, in the same way as the distribution of the game elements of the HP group of the different order on the game elements of the second set is indicated.

The principle of distributing a set of 36 game elements as part of the third set, that is, a set containing all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the interval from 0 to 7, into two proportional game groups has the peculiarity that each digit is presented in the set an odd number of times, which is why each digit in groups it turns out proportionally by one more or less. In addition, each double digit is represented twice, and the Double belongs to one or another game group, which is why each opponent’s double is opposed to a proportionally larger number of numbers interacting with this double, and therefore one of the goals in games with similar groups of game elements may consist in the destruction of doubles the enemy.

If we exclude from the third set of game elements those that have numbers 6, 7, 8, organizing the set with an interval of numbers from 0 to 5, leaving the added doubles O / O, 2/2, 4/4, then crosses and the absence of crosses on the back the side of the game elements will indicate the distribution of the set into two game groups, 12 game elements each, with a proportion in which each digit in one group is presented four times, and in the other group each figure is presented three or five times, and the groups contain an unequal number of takes. Namely: -I / 3/2, 1/4. O / O, 5/3, 2L „0/1, 5/5, 2/2, 4/0, 5/1,

3/3, 4D.

2/2/0, 4L, I / I, 0/5, 1/3. 2/2, V5. 3/0, 2D, 0/0, 5/2, 4/3.

In general, the distribution of sets of game elements, each number of which is presented an odd number of times, into two game groups with an equal number of game elements and a proportional number of numbers represented in groups, can have different options. Composing proportional distributions of game elements of dominoes in itself is an entertaining puzzle. An entertaining puzzle is the arrangement of groups and sets of domino game elements in the initial game positions on the playing field. The condition for such puzzles is to maintain equal chances between players to win.

In addition, it is possible to play games reduced to an interval of numbers from 0 to 5 with two equivalent sets of game elements from the second and third, first and second, or first and third sets without added takes, so that 21 game elements remain in each set. One embodiment of the initial game positions for such a game is shown in FIG. 15. In these initial game positions, it is important that similar game elements in different sets can either be directed at each other by indifferent numbers and be in the same vertical rows, or they can be directed at each other capable of interacting with numbers, but be in different vertical rows of the playing field. . dashing arrows on the game elements of the fourth set must be marked in accordance with the given nachalnymi game positions. In the initial game positions of these two groups from the fourth set of game elements, it’s important that the pairs of unequal digits / subdivisions / presented in the TWICE groups are directed towards the opposite group with one or the other digit, that is, added game elements in the fourth set in addition to the possibility of comparing game groups in the kit with cells of the playing field having eight horizontal and eight vertical rows of cells, allows groups to interact most fully during the game . On the reverse side of the game elements of one of these groups, crosses 21 / FIG. 9/. From game elements of the fourth set, a set of game elements can be organized such that all possible combinations of pairs of numbers from the range of numbers from 0 to 3 are presented twice, that is, all possible game elements in the range of numbers from 0 to 3 are repeated. In this case, from the set two copies of all game elements with unequal pairs of numbers / non-doubles are excluded, and in total 20 game elements are obtained in the set. He is opposed in the game with a similar double set organized from game elements, let's say the second and third sets. The starting game positions of the double sets on the playing field are shown in FIG. 17. The rules of domino games using the playing field are that playing elements can move around the cells of the playing field making moves. The optimal distance for moving game elements in one move is any adjacent free cell vertically, horizontally and diagonally.

When the numbers of the two game elements are located in adjacent cells belonging to different game groups or sets, these game elements interact. In this case, the passive game element is removed from the playing field, and the active one, which was made by the move, remains on the cell on which he made the move.

Game elements from opposing game groups or sets belonging to different players in contact with indifferent numbers do not interact. Game elements belonging to the same game group or set can be in contact with both indifferent and interacting numbers without interaction.

Removing game elements from the field can be replaced by reorienting game elements. This is more convenient in cases where players distinguish their and other's game elements only with the help of orienting signs. In this case, the passive game element to be removed from the game field rotates 180 degrees within the cell on which it is located, and becomes in accordance with the orienting designation the game element of the player who made the move and whose active game element interacted with the passive game element.

- If the numbers are applied to the game elements with tags not in the traditional way for dominoes, but at the three outer edges of each adjacent half, then the game elements in the game can interact with the same numbers touching not only the end edges, when the marks applied on the three outer edges of each adjacent half are perceived as single digit

but, both end and side edges, when the marks are applied there are no external edges of the game elements are perceived separately for each edge. The procedures for labeling numbers on the game elements of the first, second and third sets / Fig. I, 2, 3 / take into account the features of games of various kinds.

The task in the game may consist in holding their game elements to certain credit cells of half of the opponent’s field, or in removing certain opponent’s game elements from the field. In addition, certain game elements before the start of the game can be turned on the back of the steering wheel, differing for the players using the notation printed on the back, and the task in the game may be to beat these offset game elements while the beating should be done by overlaying game elements on top credits, since HP on the reverse side of the credited game elements there are no numbers, despite the fact that you can impose on top of the credited any game elements regardless of the numbers. Recognized game elements must be able to move around the cells of the playing field in the same way as all other game elements. J also credited game elements must be able, or should not be able to, beat the rest of the game elements overlay.

Each time, players can choose a game option, the number and composition of game elements to be applied in the game, the initial game positions and the size of the playing field.

Another type of game differs from the previous one in that the game elements do not move around the cells of the playing field, I put them on the playing field in a certain order. In games of this kind, game elements can be positioned cap along and across the playing field as part of a linear cell counting.

Labels denoting the numbers printed on the game elements can be perceived as one, or separately for each outer edge of the adjacent halves of the game elements.

A general rule for games of this kind is that game elements are laid out sequentially from the game element originally laid out on the playing field, being applied to each other end-to-end, side to side, side to end or thyr to side by matching numbers, and / or edges with the same number of marks. You cannot place game elements on the playing field so that they are in contact with mismatched numbers and / or edges with a mismatching number of marks.

Players can lay out a common sequence of game elements, as well as sequences of game elements separate for each player.

The task in games of this kind may be to quickly lay out their game elements previously distributed between the players, or to lay out certain configurations of game elements within the playing field, or to quickly engage with their game elements in certain credit cells of the playing field when laying out sequences of game elements separate for each player when the fact that in this case a rule prohibiting contact with your game elements with those game elements that cat Ory spreads the enemy. Or the task in the game may be as compact as possible the arrangement of their game elements on the playing field, in which players do not have to get their game elements on certain credit cells of the playing field.

The distribution of sets in sets of game elements to proportional game groups in games of this kind is most often impractical and therefore game elements can be distributed among players randomly, although there are game options in which a set, set, or several sets or sets of game elements before the game can be completely laid out with open game information, from which players have the right to choose any game element for their turn. In other versions of the game, game elements could be taken by the players for their moves sequentially from the general set of game elements laid down before the start of the game with closed game information, and games can also be played with partially closed game information, or equivalent sets for each can be used in the game player. There are an indefinitely large number of different game options. In addition, the numbers printed on the game elements can be perceived as glasses.

For games of this kind, 56 game elements of the first set or sets of game elements from this set are more suitable. Depending on the number of game elements that will be used in the game, the required number of cells in the playing field is calculated. The game elements of the remaining sets not used in the game, laid out on the reverse side, can overlap some cells of the game hoop on which the game will not be played, creating certain game configurations from those cells of the game field on which the game will be played.
