Description

The utility model relates to the field of entertainment and leisure activities and can be used for collective games.

A lottery ticket is known, made in the form of a base on which there is a playing field, and the base is made in the form of two sheets, inextricably linked together around the perimeter, on the bottom sheet there is a playing field, and on the top there is a tear-off window located above the playing field. The playing field is made in the form of cells in which game symbols are placed. Game symbols can be completely different in execution, for example, they can be made in the form of symbols of the well-known “tic-tac-toe” game, that is, in the form of a cross and a tac toe, which, when they are located in game cells, constitute game combinations randomly determined by the lottery organizer.

During the game (rally), the player opens the ticket (removes the tear-off window) and gets acquainted with the location of the symbols of the playing field. If the arrangement of game symbols contains their winning combination, determined during the drawing, the player has the right to receive a win.

(see Utility Model Certificate No. 5531, CL A 63 F 3/00, 1996).

As a result of the analysis of the known solution, it should be noted that the implementation of this ticket greatly limits the process of the game. The actions of the player are reduced only to familiarization with the rules of the game and with the contents of the playing field for the presence on the last winning combination of game symbols. This ticket cannot be used to play simultaneously by several players, that is, its performance does not allow

implement the principle of competition as the main component of the game. In addition, this lottery ticket is quite complicated and expensive to manufacture.

A game card is known that contains a base with game fields placed on its working surface, formed in the form of a grid of columns and rows of cells, in which parts are placed game symbols that are covered with a transparent protective layer. As game symbols, numbers, images of playing cards, etc. can be used. The game card also has fields for advertising and / or service information. The protective coating may be in the form of a laminate or a glossy surface layer. The cells of the playing fields are formed by embossed sections rising above the working surface of the base with borders corresponding to the boundaries of columns and rows.

The base can be made of two separate parts or folding along the center line of the inflection.

When making a card, the game organizer fills part of the game cells with game symbols in random order and covers these cells with a transparent protective layer. The player’s actions are reduced to filling in the game symbols with the remaining free game cells. If during the drawing, the combination of game symbols of the game card (both covered with a protective layer and applied by the player) coincides with the winning combination determined by the circulation conducted by the organizer of the game, then the player has the right to receive a win.

(see Utility Model Certificate No. 29475, Cl. A 63 F 3/06, 2003).

As a result of the analysis of the performance of this game card, it should be noted that it partly allows for a collective game, but only to the extent that each player fills in his field, that is, in this case there is no element of competition, and this reduces the excitement of the game. Since some of the symbols have already been determined by the organizer of the game, it is quite possible that distrust of this game may arise. In addition, this card is complex and expensive to manufacture.

The objective of this utility model is to develop a game made in the form of a game card, simple and technological in manufacturing, as well as providing the possibility of performing collective games on it with increased excitement and without the influence of subjective factors on the game process.

The task is ensured by the fact that in a game containing a base, at least on one side of which there is a playing field with game cells in which game symbols are located, it is new that all game cells with game symbols are covered by a removable masking layer, and in game the cells contain game symbols of at least two groups (varieties) and at least one arrangement of symbols of each group (varieties) constitutes a winning combination, while at least one of the cells of the playing field contains m game symbol that is neutral with respect to the applied character groups.

When conducting patent research from the prior art, no solutions were identified that are identical to the claimed utility model, and therefore, the claimed solution meets the patentability condition of "novelty."

The information set forth in the application materials is sufficient for the practical implementation of the utility model.

The essence of the utility model is illustrated by graphic materials on which:

- figure 1 and figure 2 presents different versions of the game;

- figure 3 and figure 4 is a game with a removed protective layer.

The game is made in the form of a base 1, at least on one side of which there is a playing field 2 with game cells 3, in each of which a game symbol 4 is placed.

As game symbols, numbers, letters, their combinations, graphic images, symbols characterizing famous games, for example, “tic-tac-toe”, etc. can be used.

A feature of this game is that the game symbols are made of at least two groups, for example, tic tac toe. As mentioned above,

the game is intended for collective games, that is, for the simultaneous participation in the game of at least two players, one of which plays on the symbols “cross”, and the other - “zero”. The number of groups of game symbols may be more than two.

In principle, the number of varieties of game symbols can be different and each kind of symbols is designed for one player. Thus, on each game several players can play simultaneously.

It is also very significant that in each game for each kind of symbols there is a winning combination, that is, each player can win and there are no win-win game combinations on the card.

A characteristic feature of the game is that at least one playing cell in the playing field contains a neutral (not matching with the group symbols) game symbol 5, which allows the player to rank it as any symbol of his choice on the card. This symbol, let's call it "Joker", can be designated in different ways, for example, in the form of a stylized image of a smile.

All game cells 3 of the game field 2 are closed by a removable mask layer 6.

On the game, fields (not shown) can be made for applying data on the rules of the game, the manufacturer of the card, advertising labels, etc.

The material for making the game can be paper, cardboard, film, a self-adhesive base, etc.

The shape of the game can be very diverse: square, rectangular, round, oval, etc.

The size of the game can also be very diverse. Dimensions may be due to the number of game cells 3 or other factors, which will be mentioned below.

The shape of the playing field 2 may also be different. As a rule, but not necessarily, it is determined by the shape and size of the base 1. Game cells can have a round, square, rectangular or other shape.

If the base 1 has a round shape, then the playing field 2 can also have a round shape (figure 1, figure 2). Game cells 3 in this case may have

oval shape, for example, stylized as chamomile petals. A variety of groups of game symbols in this performance of the card may well be the phrase "loves" - "does not like."

The game can be released and implemented in the form shown in figure 1 and / or 2, and can also be attached to the product or its packaging to stimulate sales of the latter. In this case, an adhesive layer (not shown) may be applied to the back of the substrate 1.

The game can be a fragment of the product label or its packaging, with which it can be made as a whole or perforated by a contour line (not shown).

The procedure for using the game is considered as an example of one of the simplest executions (Fig. 1), where the playing field 2 has a square shape, the number of game cells is 9, the game symbols are “crosses and zeroes” placed in game cells. It is easy to notice that this game is designed for two players and is stylized for the well-known game “tic-tac-toe”. The rules of this game are similar to the rules of the game of "tic-tac-toe" and do not cause any difficulties in mastering any category of players.

To conduct the game, one player “assigns” the game symbols to “crosses,” and the other, respectively, tokens.

After each player defines their “own” group of characters, the players alternately remove the protective layer 6 from one of the game cells 3.

The belonging of a certain group of game symbols to the player can be determined during the first game action (“move”) by the first opened game symbol.

When erasing (deleting) the masking layer from one of the game cells, the player gets acquainted with the game symbol 4 placed underneath in the game cell. This can be a “cross” or “zero”. Then the move goes to another player. He gets acquainted with the game symbol that was opened at the previous turn by the partner and, in accordance with his chosen tactics and the location of already opened game symbols, removes the protective layer from the next he has chosen

cells. The game continues until one of the players reveals a winning combination of game symbols.

In the event that a neutral symbol is placed on the opened slot, each of the players has the right to perceive it with its own symbol.

This game is gambling, since the chosen tactics of the game are constantly influenced by the “random factor” in the form of a game symbol for each next opened cell, which every time, every move forces the player to change his chosen tactics. The presence of a neutral gaming symbol significantly expands the number of gaming options and makes the game more fun.

The game has a simple execution and inexpensive to manufacture.
