Description

The utility model relates to the field of designing board games, in particular to educational board games, mainly in the field of historical and / or cultural-historical development, for example, of a particular country, nation, nationality, etc., and can be used as a training tool in order to directly increase the total amount of knowledge, as well as the cultural and educational level of the game participants, by acquainting and studying them during the last of the most significant, key historical events, for example during the historical development of a particular country, its political structure, culture, science, technology and others selected to study the main thematic areas and directions.

A well-known educational board game (see the abstract of the invention according to the application No. 95101023, A1, class A 63 F 3/00, publ. 1996.11.27), including playing fields and game elements with game information applied to them and intended to enhance the playing level of knowledge in the field of money circulation, including exchange rates of currencies of different countries. This educational game is not convenient enough for its use as a training tool for studying a specific field of knowledge in terms of both the form of presentation of information and its content, including because of its very narrow focus and purpose for specially trained participants.

The closest technical solution, including the set of essential features, to the claimed one, taken as the closest analogue (prototype) of the utility model, is a training

board geographic game (see the description of the patent of the Russian Federation No. 21588542, class A 63 F 3/04, publ. 1999.04.10), containing a packing box, a playing field with markings, game elements as part of game cards, tokens, game chips, and a random number generator, and designed to improve the cultural and educational level of the players through constant familiarization during the game with the sights of various cities of the world.

The disadvantage of the closest analogue (prototype) is the inconvenience of the direct use of the educational game as a teaching aid, due to the need to use a relatively large free space with the possibility of placing furniture such as a table, as well as the relative fragility of the playing fields due to their rapid wear due to repeated direct contact with playing them during the game.

In addition, the drawback is the very low efficiency of the game in terms of increasing the cultural and educational level of the players, due to the very narrow applied orientation of the specific game topics used in it, as well as not contributing to the intensive storage of knowledge gained in the form of presentation of game information, including using the game elements.

The proposed utility model is aimed at eliminating the shortcomings of the closest analogue - the prototype, including simplifying its design and improving its following basic consumer properties (qualities), including, if used as a training tool:

- reduction of material and labor costs for the manufacture of the game, especially in conditions of mass production, due to a significant reduction in the consumption of material for the manufacture of the playing field, such as sheet cardboard, and the coating material of the front side of the playing field, such as bouminil, due to the lack of a separate playing field, such as such;

- increasing the durability of the game, due to the implementation of the playing field in the form of a bottom flat face of the side box, which prevents its wear due to reduction and elimination of physical contacts of the game participants directly with the surface of the playing field and with the playing field itself during the game;

- a significant increase in the convenience of playing the game, for example, in the absence of furniture such as a table, by achieving an almost perfectly flat and flat surface of the playing field and preventing the possibility of rolling (and losing) the game cube outside the playing field, since the latter is made in the form of a bottom flat face side box, the vertical sides of which on the one hand are constructive forming elements in relation to the playing field itself, and on the other hand serve as a fence for tvrascheniya rolling dice game outside the field during the game;

- improving the convenience of storing and using the game, for example, when it is used as a teaching aid, by making a packing box in the form of a drop-down book imitating a textbook, including the format and thickness of the book, as well as the aspect ratio of the sides packing box.

At the same time, the task of creating a more convenient and easy-to-use educational historical board game was solved, which, due to its potential use as a teaching aid, allows it to significantly increase the efficiency of the educational process with respect to the depth of memorization of knowledge acquired during the game, and also serve as a means of intensive increase the overall cultural and educational level of the game participants, while at the same time cheapening the production of the game in conditions of its mass production.

This is achieved by the fact that in the proposed board game "River of History", containing a packing box, a playing field with marking in

in the form of a series of interconnected sequentially located game positions, game elements including game cards and game chips for identifying game participants, and a random number generator, for example, in the form of a playing cube, unlike the closest analogue (prototype), the packaging box is designed as a folding books in the form of interconnected, for example by means of one of the side faces, the upper and lower covers, which in the open form form a single rectangular trough-shaped element, on the inner the bottom surface of which, formed by the inner surfaces of the large faces of the lids of the box and the inner surface connecting the lateral side, has a playing field, and the playing positions, for example, graphically highlighted in the form of squares or circles, are made with images of specific historical events located close to them and relating to these events are marked with a number of historical dates, while for each of the mentioned positions there is a corresponding game card on the front side of which an image of a specific historical event is printed, identical to the corresponding image on the playing field, and on the reverse side is information explaining the historical event depicted, for example, its historical name and / or name, with its origin in time, and game elements contain at least three graphically highlighted, mainly in different colors, for example yellow, green and red, a set of game cards, for example, related to different historical and thematic areas, or depending It depends on the influence of specific historical events depicted on them on the course of further historical development, where: yellow - positive evolutionary influence, green - positive revolutionary, red - negative, respectively, while on the playing field for each of the mentioned game cards in accordance with

its color design provides for the gaming position highlighted in the same color, respectively.

In addition, the goal is achieved by the fact that, as images of specific historical events, illustrations of works of fine art, mainly paintings, or reproductions of photographs are used, and on the back of the corresponding game cards information is additionally printed with the name of the work of art illustrating the mentioned event, its name the author or historical person depicted in the photograph, respectively.

The number of cards depending on the goals and complexity of the game, including for various cases and options for its use as a training tool, as well as in accordance with the rules of the game, may be more, less, or equal to the number of positions on the playing field.

In practice, one of the most optimal options for implementing the utility model, including from the point of view of achieving its goals, is a design in which, in accordance with the general thematic focus of the game, a sequence of game positions applied to the playing field, allowing participants to move from one positions to another in accordance with the rules of the game, made, for example, in the form of a simulated image of a river on a geographical map of the area, and game chips to identify participants the Games - in the form of toy figurines of ancient marine rooks, for example allocated a different color.

In the general case of the execution and completion of the game, the playing field is placed on the entire surface formed by the inner surfaces of the large faces of the upper and lower covers of the packaging box and the inner surface connecting the side faces thereof when the packaging box is open.

In the conditions of mass production, the manufacture of the claimed board game design is carried out using well-known materials and equipment, for example, a packing box can be made of sheet material, for example, according to the type of cardboard, coated with a coating, for example, from bumvenil.

As a random number generator in the game, use the usual “dice”, for example, in the form of a dice with marking of the faces, made in any known manner, for example, by drawing various numbers of points highlighted in color from 1 to 6.

A classic version of the design and configuration of the game with a separately made packaging box and a playing field with markup is possible. In this case, the constructive implementation of the playing field and game elements is fully consistent with the above - the main option.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by drawings and drawings, which depict:

- figure 1 - playing field with markings;

- figure 2 is a game card.

An example of a specific implementation of the claimed utility model is the "Board game" River of History ", which can play from 2 to 4 people, a prototype of which for the purpose of testing and use, including as a training tool, in the version calculated for children from 11 years old and older and designed to study the events of Russian history of the XX century for the period from 1917 to the present - the latest history of Russia (including acquaintance with specific historical figures), broadening the horizons, as well as enhance cultural at an educational level by acquainting in the process of the game with specific works of art, New Generation LLC was developed and executed. To understand the essence of useful

the model of the device of the specified prototype is given in Appendices 1-3 to the description of the utility model, where Appendix 1 to the description shows a general view of the plan of the playing field packing box placed on the bottom surface; in Appendix 2 - a general view of the front side of a set of game cards with images of specific historical events, which are used as illustrations of well-known works of fine art - paintings and fragments of photographs; in Appendix 3 - a general view of the reverse side of the set of game cards with information explaining the specific historical events depicted on the front side of the latter, including: indicating the exact date or time interval during which the depicted event took place; the generally accepted and well-known, historically established, name of a specific historical event; the name of the work of fine art - an art picture or engraving, or photographs, illustrations of which are placed on the front sides of the corresponding game cards; the name of the author of the corresponding work - the artist, or the details of the historical person depicted in the photograph.

The game contains a packing box made as a folding book (1), which in the open form forms a single rectangular trough-like element, on the entire surface of the inner bottom face (bottom) (2) of which is formed by the inner surfaces of the large faces of the upper and lower covers (not indicated in the drawing ) of the box, respectively, and the inner surface connecting the side (3) facets of these covers, the playing field (4) (see Fig. 1) is placed with the river (5) imaged in sequence in the form of a simulation image game positions in the form highlighted in yellow, green, red and white (in the drawing

shown) circles (6) with images (7) of specific historical events placed (adjacent) to the yellow, green and red circles mentioned (see Appendix 1 to the description), which are used as illustrations of well-known works of fine art - paintings or reproductions of photographs (fragments of photographs), and related to these events marked by a number of historical dates (8); sets of game cards (9) (see Fig. 2) as part of yellow, green and red copies (not shown in the drawings), in quantities corresponding to the number of positions painted in the same colors on the playing field, on the front (10) side each of which is shown in the form of an illustration (fragment) of a well-known work of painting, an image (11) of a specific historical event, in all identical to the corresponding image on the playing field (see Appendix 2 to the description), and on the back (12) side - information (13 ), explaining the depicted on faces on the left side of the same card is a specific historical event, including including: an indication of the exact date or time interval during which the depicted event took place; the generally accepted and well-known, historically established, name of a specific historical event; the name of the work of fine art - an art picture or engraving, or photograph, the illustration (fragment) of which is placed on the front side of the corresponding game card; the name of the author of this work - the artist or historical person depicted in the photograph (see Appendix 3 to the description); a set of game chips (not shown in the drawing) to identify the participants in the game, for example, in the form of toy figures of ancient Russian sea boats, highlighted in different colors; and at least one die (not shown in the drawing).

In the general case, the game is conducted as follows.

Before the start of the game, the packing box (1) is installed in the open form (see Fig. 1) and the playing field (4) as part of its constituents

the inner surfaces of the large faces of the upper and lower lids of the box, respectively, and the inner surface of the side (3) faces connecting these covers, are installed mainly in the horizontal plane. Then, next to the field (4), game cards (9) are laid up face up (10) with images (11) - “pictures” of specific historical events.

At the beginning of the game, all participants set their chips to the “Start of the game” circle (not shown in the drawing), then, in a known manner, determine the sequence of moves using a game die (not shown in the drawing): who, after an arbitrary throwing a die, for example, on the playing field (4), randomly there will be more points on the upper face of the cube - that goes first, and so on.

Having received the right to move, the participant of the game - the player rolls the die, and then moves the chip (not shown in the drawing) on the playing field (4) by the number of positions - circles (6), equal to the number of points on the top face of the cube.

Once in a green, yellow, or red circle (6) (see Fig. 1), a player should generally name a historical event by a nearby image (7) (fragment of a photograph), to which a nearby date (8) refers, a work fine art - a picture illustrating this event [an identical image-illustration (11) of which is shown on the front side (10) of the corresponding game card (9)], as well as its author. The next participant at this time finds a card (9), with the corresponding illustration (11) (or photograph), identical to the image (7) on the field (4) next to the date (8) and the position designation - with a circle (6), on which he stopped the aforementioned player, and checks the correctness of his answer.

If the player, being on the yellow circle, answered correctly, then he makes the next move, and the corresponding card (9) leaves the game.

If the player answers incorrectly or does not remember the contents of the card, he skips the move and the card (9) is put back.

If the player, being on the red circle, gives the correct answer, he follows the direction of the arrow (not shown in the drawing) on the playing field (4) and the move is transferred to the next player. If he answered incorrectly, then he also follows the direction of the arrow and then skips one move.

If the player, being on the green circle, answered correctly, then he moves the chip in the direction of the arrow (not shown in the drawing) and makes the next move, and the corresponding card (9) leaves the game. If the player does not answer correctly or does not remember the contents of the card, he also follows the direction of the arrow and then skips the move, and the card is put back.

When a player enters the circle (6), the adjacent date (8) of which has already participated in the game and the historical event corresponding to it, according to his image (7) has already been guessed, the move is transferred to the next player.

If a player lands on a white circle (not shown in the drawing), then the move is passed to the next player. The player who first came to the position-circle "End of the game" (not shown in the drawing) wins.

The above historical game as game elements contains three sets of yellow, green and red colored game cards identified, for example, in this embodiment of the game in this way in terms of possible approaches to assessing the events depicted on them according to the following historical and universal positions: the influence of specific historical events depicted on them as a whole on the course of further historical development of Russia, including the significance of the historical consequences that led to oboj depicted on respective cards specific historical events (or actions depicted specific historical figures), namely, yellow - positive evolutionary impact; green is positive revolutionary

(spasmodic) effect; red - negative, while on the playing field for each of the mentioned game cards, in accordance with its color performance, a game position highlighted in the same color is provided, respectively. For example, in this version of the game, the following events are attributed to green cards (positive revolutionary influence on history): “End of the Great Patriotic War”, “Launch of the world's first artificial Earth satellite”; and to the Reds (negative impact on history): “Civil War and Intervention”, “Attack of Fascist Germany on the USSR”, “Blockade of Leningrad”, “Attempt to seize power by the members of the State Emergency Committee”.

When you design and complete the game in a purely classic version with separately manufactured packaging box and a playing field, it contains a playing field with game elements, the design of which is fully consistent with that shown in figure 1 and figure 2. The game in this case is carried out according to the above-described basic variant.

It should also be noted that, while maintaining all the significant differences, the rules of the game can be adjusted in the direction of complication or in the direction of simplification.
