Description

The utility model relates to board games, namely, to intellectual economic games that allow not only to use basic economic skills, but also to acquire new economic knowledge, the ability to predict and navigate economic situations, develop erudition and creative imagination of participants.

Board game devices are widely known containing a board with a playing surface marked out according to the game theme, markers or chips, the number of which corresponds to the number of participants in the game, and a random number generator, Ф5Т1КЦЮ which makes a die, which is thrown to determine the order in which the participants of the game can move your chips on the playing surface in accordance with the rules of the game. At the end of the game, the points scored by the participants are counted to determine the winner in it. Such games include, in particular, the gaming device of US Pat. No. 5,988,642, A63F 3/00, 1998. Such games are quite easy to use and are well perceived by children of preschool and primary school age, but they quickly lose their game attractiveness due to their uniformity and the lack of the possibility of manifesting individual players' abilities.

A well-known board game according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2111785, A63F3 / 04, A63F3 / 06, 1998, designed to simulate commercial operations and processes in order to obtain primary skills in a market economy, including a board with two playing fields, one of which is divided into sectors ( personal playing field), and the other is made in the form of a plane bounded on all sides (a selection field), a random number generator, conditional money, game chips and game elements. The selection field has inside itself places for placing instructions related to the player, sections of the personal playing field or game elements. Each section of a personal playing field denotes a specific object and has inside itself places for placing game chips and main game elements, and these places and game elements have designations of parts of the object of this section. Between the personal playing field and the selection field there is a control field, each section of which

corresponds to a section of a personal playing field and has inside itself places for placing game chips and main game elements. This game has much more complex rules and requires some knowledge in the field of economics, but by the principle of its structure it is similar to the previous one, it is also purely probabilistic in nature and has the same drawbacks.

Also known is a board economic game to simulate the activities of an entrepreneur according to the patent of the Russian Federation No. 2090231, A63F3 / 00, 1997, containing a game board divided into sequentially arranged cells with randomly alternating designations, dice, chips to indicate the place of each player on the board, Shralk set cards, including cards that simulate banknotes, and cards that indicate teams for the actions of players, funds that simulate signs of material property and means of choice, determining the course of games s, as well as a map to the table level of prices for goods and supporting maps, one of the groups which has markings to indicate the patent, the second - equipment, third - sfe, materials, components, fourth staff. At the same time, funds imitating signs of material property are made in the form of individual cards with markings indicating the model of the enterprise, and divided into parts, each of which corresponds to one of rpjTin auxiliary cards. The means of choice were made in the form of sets of cards with a marking corresponding to the cells of the playing field, one of the sets having a marking denoting property, the second - consultation, the third - business surprises, the fourth - insurance certificate, the fifth bill. The cells of the playing field have the designations of institutions, objects of a market economy and teams, some of which imitate situations involving certain payments. During the game, participants perform the actions provided for by the respective cards. At the same time, each of the participants must independently manually keep the sums of debts, the time of obtaining loans and major bills. The calculation of annual interest on bank loans and bills is made using a timer depending on the number of players.

The rules of this game are replete with complex financial and economic concepts and calculations, and a playing field with cells arranged sequentially along its perimeter implies multiple movement along the same path, which reduces its amusement and accessibility to different age groups of players. In addition, there is also too much addiction in this game

the results of the game from random number sensors (dice) and team cards, which leads to a limitation of the player’s ability to take initiative and own erudition, affect the level of their income and, thereby, the overall game situation.

The closest in technical essence to the claimed is a gaming device according to US patent No. 5503399, A63F 3/00, 1996., containing a board with a playing path running along its perimeter, divided into squares, each of which is equipped with an inscription characterizing any difficult situation that may include people doing business. This game track determines the way the chips move during the game. The device also contains game tokens by the number of players, dice, three types of game cards with tasks and questions and several answers, one of which is correct, as well as game cards that simulate banknotes (means of payment). For successful advancement along the game track, the player must choose the optimal answer to the question in the card he received.

The first type of game cards includes questions and situational tasks related to any one profession, and several answers to these questions; the second type of cards includes definitions of various terms and main provisions from the field of business and several answers to choose from; the third type is a set of so-called controversial cards relating to professional situational tasks that exclude a variety of answers to them. At the same time, the correct answers to professional questions of the first type of cards and definitions for the second type of cards are determined by the Guide for this game, made in the form of a separate book. The correctness of the answers to the “controversial cards” tasks is determined collectively by other players. The difficulty level of the questions may vary.

This famous game allows participants to explore possible solutions to various business situations and how these solutions can lead to a positive increase in salaries and careers. However, those who have mastered this game, over time, lose their initial interest in it, due to the limited ability of players to take the initiative and their erudition and affect the overall game situation. This is expressed in the following. During the game, its participants move around the game board, depending on the score obtained using the dice, along the same game track. Having reached the starting cell, they receive a certain bonus (reward) and continue to move along the same track over and over again. At

In this case, players carry out strictly regulated actions of the same type. Even the level of complexity of the questions that participants must answer, i.e. the corresponding set of cards is chosen before the start of the game not at the request of the players, but depending on their level of education. The constant appeal to the Guide to verify the correctness of the answers is not convenient, not to mention the fact that it can be lost or damaged over time; and the presence of "controversial cards containing mixed answers can lead to unnecessary and lengthy disputes, and even to a quarrel between players. In addition, questions and situational tasks in the cards concern only the sphere of business and professional activity, do not allow players to sufficiently show their general erudition and thereby affect the final result of the game, which reduces the gaming capabilities of the famous game.

The utility model solves the problem of expanding gaming opportunities, making the game more entertaining and informative, teaching a systematic approach, making decisions in real life situations - risk, uncertainty, conflict of interest, different levels of control over the situation. At the same time, the result achieved by using the claimed utility model allows the player to acquire communication skills in conflict situations, contributes to the development of logical thinking, the acquisition in the game form of knowledge not only in the field of economics and business, but also in different areas of science, literature and art.

Banknotes imitating banknotes are executed at various face value.

The annular sections of the playing field can be made circular or polygonal, including rectangular. The internal fields (spaces) of the annular sections of the playing field are divided into sectors that are different in color: the inner field of the smaller ring section is divided into two sectors, and the internal field of the larger ring section is divided into at least two sectors.

The utility model is illustrated by drawings, in which in FIG. 1 shows a general view of the playing field; in FIG. 2 (a-c) - examples of the execution of game cards containing instructions on the actions of players; Fig. 3 is an example of playing cards containing questions and answers to them; figure 4 is an example of the implementation of cards simulating banknotes; Fig. 3 is an example of making cards representing real estate objects.

The board game comprises a game field 1 (FIG. 1) with a game track 2 located thereon, made in the form of a web-like structure, including at least two concentric annular sections 3 (small or internal) and 4 (large or external) and at least two radial sections 5. Sections 3, 4, and 5 of the game track 2 are divided into randomly alternating empty and marked cells 6 corresponding to the marking of game cards. Part of cells 6 may have another

marking designating the so-called “special fields, hit on which is determined by the rules of the game.

Concentric annular sections 3 and 4 of the game track 2 can be made in the form of circles or polygons with any number of angles, including in the form of rectangles. The radial sections 5 intersect the annular sections 3 and 4, connecting the central platform 7 of the playing field 1 with the outer section of the game track 2. In the embodiment of the game shown in FIG. 1, eight radial sections 5, which is optimal from the point of view of the aspect ratio of the playing field 1 and the number and size of game cards placed on it. The number of ring sections 3 and 4 should be at least two (as shown in figure 1), although there may be more. 11, which will entail an increase in the number of playing cards and the size of the playing field.

The internal fields (spaces) of 8 ring sections 3 and 4 of the playing field 1 are divided into sectors, similar to urban areas. In this case, the internal field of the smaller annular portion 3 is divided into two sectors, and the internal field of the larger annular portion 4 is divided into four sectors, differing in color. Such a structure of the playing field 1, as well as dividing it into separate sections and their different colors, allow players to move from one level (ring section) to another during the game with the possibility of choosing the direction of movement as they wish, when provided for by the rules of the game, a, c on the other hand, correctly and quickly navigate in the sectors of the playing field in order to avoid placing two enterprises of the same industry in the same district of the city, which is not allowed by the game rules.

In turn, game cards 9, containing instructions on the actions of players or situational tasks, can be of several kinds. In particular, in the embodiment of the game according to the utility model, the game cards 9 are executed in the form of three sets of cards marked “Surprise,“ Direction and “Message, respectively (Fig. 2, a-c).

in each of the cards 10 (FIG. 3), containing a question and answer options for it, one of the answers is correct and embossed either in the size or shape of the pfift, or in colored font, or some kind of icon (letter, “tick,” asterisk, symbol, etc.). This allows players to immediately, during the course of the game, check the correctness of the answer given by the participant, and not waste time searching for him.

Cards 10 contain questions that implant the general erudition of players and relating to various fields of knowledge, from the history of the ancient world and mythology to literature, astronomy, and geography. These cards are made of at least two difficulty levels, indicated, for example, by the marking “Chance and Chance P, respectively. Each player can independently choose the level of difficulty of the questions; the effectiveness of the player’s responses (more or less the number of points received by him) will depend on this choice.

Both types of game cards 9 and 10 are double-sided, on the cover side of which there is a marking (graphic elements and inscriptions) indicating the type of cards, and on the back - the text part.

The set of cards 11 simulating banknotes contains several types of cards that differ in the nominal value of their value (for example, 500, 1000, 5,000, 10,000, 50,000 and 100,000 units). For the sake of colorfulness and increased distinctiveness, various images can be applied to each type of card 11, in particular, representatives of the plant or animal world (as shown in Fig. 4), objects of technology (vehicles of different eras), arbitrary ornaments, etc.

Cards 12 marked with real estate are one-sided and contain indications of the type of real estate, the industry of the city economy to which it belongs, and the cost characteristics of the property, and these cards are made in different colors depending on the industry. In an embodiment, the performance of this type of card can be double-sided.

In addition, the game also includes a set of game elements to indicate the position of each player on the playing field, for example, chips differing in color or shape, and a random number generator, for example, in the form of dice. The number of chips corresponds to the maximum number of players, and in principle, a roulette or a count of fingers, simultaneously shown by players, can also be used as a random number generator.

Dice, chips and other possible accessories of the game do not differ from well-known ones and therefore are not shown in the drawings.

The game is intended for 2-6 and 12 players and is used as follows.

It is assumed that the playing field 1 is a city in the form of a central district (inner circle), during the game expanding to the periphery (outer circle). Each player receives one or more industries for business development (from a set of cards 12). Each industry includes a “land for construction and operating enterprises of several levels, differing in cost. Business in these sectors should be developed as widely as possible by raising the level of enterprises and placing them throughout the city, from the center to the periphery. The more developed the industry, the more it generates income.

The task of the players is to maximize the development of all the branches obtained and to score the points specified in the rules of the game as quickly as possible.

The game begins with the territory of the city center (small circle). After the players have acquired all sections of the field in the central part in accordance with the rules, the game expands to the second round.

Before the start of the game, all playing cards (“CHANCE and“ CHANCE P, “SURPRISE,“ DIRECTION and “MESSAGE”) are laid down on the corresponding fields and also put on the central platform 7 of the playing field all the chips, the number of which corresponds to the number of players. Then the players divide the industry cards (cards 12) among themselves and decide which of them will be the banker, managing the bank’s finances. At the same time, each player is a monopolist in the sectors of the urban economy that he inherited.

All cards 11, imitating banknotes, are placed in the bank, and each of the players is charged a certain equal amount of banknotes from the bank.

Then the participants try out the sequence of moves. To do this, each of them rolls dice. The first player to go is the one with the highest score, followed by the rest for the decaying one. Before making the first move, the player must choose the direction of movement.

During the game, participants throw dice and move forward in accordance with the highest number of points. Once on a cell in game track 2, game participants perform actions related to this cell.

property selected for the development of the industry. If the site belongs to another player, then the person who lands on it pays the owner the rent in the amount indicated on the side of the corresponding card 12. If the site already belongs to the player who lands on it, then he can get the same rent from the bank or raise the value of an enterprise in this industry to the following; its level by paying to the bank the appropriate amount indicated at the bottom of the card 12 of the next industry level (for example, developing a store to the level of a department store in the industry “Trade with the current replacement of cards on the playing field).

In the event that the player lands on the cells with the message “MESSAGE,“ SURPRISE and “DIRECTION”, he takes the top card from the pile of cards 9 of the corresponding name and implements the instructions written on it, then puts it next to the pile with the text down. After the deck is over, it is mixed and put back into place.

The rules established that the movement in a circle can be carried out only clockwise, the movement from any intersection - only to the center. If the player has stopped in the center, then before throwing dice, he can choose the direction of movement at his discretion.

During the game, participants have the opportunity to replenish the budget of their company thanks to the erudition that they can show on the field "CHANCE. The game has two difficulty levels of questions on erudition. Each player chooses

for myself, the level of questions at my discretion and during the game answers, respectively, the questions “CHANCE or“ CHANCE P.

If a player enters the "CHANCE" field, then his neighbor raises the next card 10 from the corresponding pile, and the player in the meantime announces a bet. The cost of the bet depends on the difficulty level of the questions chosen by the player. Then the player is read out the question and answer options, from which you need to choose the right one. If the answer is correct, the bank pays in full, if not, the money

come to the bank. With any answer, the player can decide to re-play, that is, immediately answer the question of another card 10. If the answer is correct, the bank

doubles the cost of the initial bet, and the player gets the right to move to any part of the playing field; if the answer is incorrect, the player pays to the bank double the cost of the initial bet. The control over the correctness of the answer is carried out by the player who conceived the question directly on the same card, which

increases the dynamism of the game compared to well-known games in which the correct answer is verified using a separate Guide.

Instead of betting, a player can raise the level of any of his square cells. With the correct answer to the question from the card, the enterprise level in the selected area of the field increases by one; if it is incorrect, the player either pays the enterprise value indicated in the lower part of the corresponding card 12 to the bank or lowers the level of the enterprise in this industry by one.

In addition to the markedly labeled cells 6, corresponding to the types of game cards 9 and 10, part of the cells of the game track 2 may have a marking designating so-called “special fields, for example,“ Hospital, “Police,“ Investment company, “Insurance company,“ Exchange, "Prison," City Hall, "Church, etc., falling on which players act in accordance with the rules, as well as the marking" Higher and "Losing, in which the player can risk it and take a CHANCE card of one of two difficulty levels. If he answers the question correctly, then either the gain is doubled, or, instead of paying, he will receive money from the bank, respectively. If the answer was incorrect, then the player receives half as much as he won or, accordingly, pays another half of the lost amount to the bank. In the embodiment of the playing field, shown in figure 1, these marked cells are located mainly on the radial sections 5 of the playing track 2.

The game is considered finished when one of the players gains the number of points (monetary units) specified in the rules of the game.

Thus, the claimed board game differs from the known ones by the expansion of gaming capabilities due to the fact that during the game, private traders can independently choose the direction of movement along the game track, the level of difficulty of the questions and the need to answer them. In addition, the amusement and information content of the game will increase. At the same time, the result achieved by using the utility model allows the player to develop logical thinking and acquire knowledge in a game form not only in the field of economics and business, but also in different sections of science, literature and art.
