Description

Three-dimensional game refers to board and road games and can be used for spatial game of tic-tac-toe, corners, quadrature, etc. All these games exist on the plane. Adding depth to the proposed three-dimensional field exacerbates the game, increasing combinatorial capabilities, increasing amusement, spatial vision and spatial thinking.

A well-known game of chess in three-dimensional space, containing two different colors of a group of 16 pieces, at the beginning of the game, the plane of the arrangement of figures of one color with respect to the plane of the arrangement of figures of another color is placed at the same any game height or is placed at any other game height, different from placing pieces of a different color within a chess box, the maximum height of which is eight game heights, each of which is formed by the game planes of game cubes, each of which bespechivaet installation of chess pieces on its lower plane within the enclosed volume of the chess parallelepiped (RU 23577 U1, 27.06.2002).

The disadvantage of this game is that it can only be used for one game - in chess.

A device for a board game is known, comprising a base, in which playing fields with cages are placed one above the other, and game elements with latches on their base, playing fields are made in the form of frames installed in the base guides with the possibility of reciprocating movement of frames with threads stretched over them forming the cells of the playing field, and the clamps of the game elements are made in the form of cross-shaped grooves (RU 1734806, 01.27.1993).

The disadvantage of this game is the complexity of its manufacture, poor visibility of the playing field, bulky design, the inability to use in road conditions, since the game elements do not have a reliable fixation on the playing field.

Closest to the technical nature of the claimed utility model is a spatial game containing a playing field in the form of a three-dimensional grid frame formed by a system of game layers placed one above the other and made of mutually perpendicular and equally spaced rods, as well as spherical game elements with clamps mounted for rotation on the rods, reciprocating movement along the rods and removal from them (US 360333, 09.20.1971).

Such a spatial game is intended for stationary use only, since the design of the game element fixators involves placing the game on a fixed surface. The well-known game has large dimensions to ensure the removal of game elements from the rods during the game.

The technical result achieved in the claimed invention consists in ease of use, increasing the visibility of the spatial playing field, reducing the dimensions, reliable fixation of game elements, which allows it to be used both in the desktop and on the road portable versions, increasing the variety of games, the number of participants, increasing depth of spatial field.

The specified technical result is achieved in that in a spatial game containing a playing field in the form of a three-dimensional lattice framework formed by a system of game layers placed one above the other and made of rods mutually perpendicular and located at the same distance from each other, as well as game elements with clips rotatably mounted

on the rods and fixing them in a certain position, each game element contains three faces, each game element consists of two parts, inside each part of the game element there is a groove for the lock, the lock is made in the form of an elastic metal plate located in the grooves inside the game element, metal the plate engages with the faces of a triangular prism made on the rod in the place of attachment of the game element, the faces of the prism are located at an angle of 60 degrees to each other.

Game elements contain faces of different colors. The edges of the game elements are located on the sides of an equilateral triangle.

The utility model is illustrated in the drawing, where in Fig. 1 is a general view of the device, in Fig. 2 is a game element with three faces, in Fig. 3 is a rod, in Fig. 4 is a view of a triangular prism on a rod, in Fig. 5 is a metal plate.

The spatial game contains a playing field in the form of a three-dimensional lattice frame 1 formed by a system of game layers arranged one above the other and made of rods 2 mutually perpendicular and equally spaced from each other, as well as game elements 3 with locks rotatably mounted on the rods. The game layers are fastened with four fastening rods 4. Each game element contains three game sides 5. Each game element consists of two parts, a groove for the lock is located inside each part. The latch is made in the form of a metal plate 6, which is located in the grooves inside the game element. The metal plate engages with the faces of the triangular prism 7 located on the rod at the attachment point of the game element. The axis of the triangular prism coincides with the axis of the rod, and the side faces of the triangular prism are located at an angle of 60

degrees to each other. For a more solid assembly, the joints of the parts of the game elements and the attachment points of the fastening rods are lubricated with glue.

On the rod on both sides of the game element there are limiters 8, which, when assembled, enter into the grooves intended for them, located in the lateral faces of the game elements so that the game elements and limiters during assembly are a single unit.

The metal plate, which acts as a retainer, has springing properties and its thickness is selected in such a way as to achieve an elastic coefficient optimal for firmly fixing game elements on the rod. The game element is fixed in three positions. Each position of the game element is achieved when the metal plate coincides with the face of the triangular prism (when the metal plate is parallel to the face of the prism). When the game element is rotated to a different position, the latch (metal plate) bends due to its elastic properties when passing through the edge of the prism.

The proposed spatial field / 4 × 4 × 4 / is the simplest version of spatial game fields, where the variety of games, the number of participants, as well as the breathtaking beauty of the positions, increase. In the spatial field / 4 × 4 × 4 / games are possible: tic-tac-toe, corners, quadrature, etc.

All listed games exist on a plane. Adding depth to the proposed spatial field exacerbates the game, increasing combinational capabilities, increasing entertainments, fostering attentiveness and quick wit, spatial vision and spatial thinking.

The trihedral game element, rotating around its axis, has two colored faces and one clean one. Setting the figure with a clean, neutral face up indicates that this field is free, not occupied. Each of the players, having agreed who will play what color,

can display his chip by turning any game piece around its axis with the desired color up. The movement of the chip is carried out as follows: the chip making a move leaves its field, freeing it by turning the piece with the neutral side up, and sets it in a new place, restoring its color by turning another piece.

Examples:

1. Tic-tac-toe. The starting position is a pure spatial field. That is, all 64 figures are set with neutral faces up. Two are playing, each with its own color (white or red). They go in turn, setting their chip by turning one or another figure in the desired color up. The winner is the one who first builds a chain of 4 of his chips in a straight line (in one of three directions - horizontally, vertically or in depth) or diagonally.

2. Corners. Starting position - chips of opposite colors are installed in diagonally opposite corners of the spatial field of 12 pieces each - (figure 1), or 10 pieces each - (figure 2). They take turns. A chip either moves from one field to a neighboring one in any of the three directions (but not diagonally), or jumps over its own chip or opponent's chip. A move consists of moving one chip to a neighboring field, or of a jump or a series of jumps, if possible. The goal of the game is that each player must move his chips to the opponent’s corner and line them up in their original position. The one who first achieves this wins.

3. Quadrature. The starting position is a pure spatial field. Opponents take turns, exposing their chips. Loses the one who accidentally or forcedly put 4 of his chips in the corners of a square of any size in any plane.

This utility model is universal, it is characterized by increased amusement, ease of use, it develops spatial thinking, orientation in three-dimensional space.
