The appearance changing means 12 changes the composite appearance including the number display symbol “1” to the piece 19-1 having the surface, and the color of the piece 19 is also changed synchronously.

[0045] After that, when the piece 19 having the composite appearance including the same kind of number display symbol on the surface cannot be sandwiched by the piece 19 having the composite appearance including another type of number display symbol on the surface, or the game If all squares 17 on board 18 are occupied by piece 19, the match result The judging means 13 ends the game, and ranks the players in the order of selecting the composite appearance including the number display symbols of the type with high occupation rate of the cell 17 at the end of the game, and the result is displayed on the display 5 Is displayed.

[0046] For example, when the game is ended in the state shown in FIG. 7, in order from the highest occupation rate of the entire cell 17, the first place is a piece 19 having a composite appearance including a number display symbol “1” on the surface. The player who selected 1, piece 19—1 accounted for 30% (30) of the total square 17 (100 pieces), and the second place was the composite appearance including the number 4 symbol. A player who has selected piece 19 4 and piece 19 4 occupies 28% (28 pieces) of the total square 17 (100 pieces), and the 3rd place has a composite appearance including the number indication symbol “2” on the surface. The player who selected the piece 19-2, the piece 19-2 occupies 26% (26 pieces) of the total square 17 (100 pieces), and the fourth place has a composite appearance that includes the number display symbol "3" The player who selected the top 19-19 piece, the top 19-19 occupies 15% (15) of the total 17 (100) and the empty 17 is 1% (1). The

Next, an electronic game method according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0048] A player (human) uses the input device 6 to select an electronic game according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Further, the number of players, the shape of the game board 18, and Shape, number of squares 17 (total number of pieces 19), element of composite appearance of piece 19 (number indication symbol and color), and change rule of number indication symbol of each piece 19 inserted (either increase or decrease of number) Selection or number of increase / decrease), the basic conditions are set by the basic condition setting means 9, in the example shown, 8 players, the game board 18 and the square 17 are square, and the square 17 is 144 (12 rows and 12 columns), the number display symbol power of each piece 19 sandwiched between each piece is set to increase by ^, and the minimum number of the number display symbol of piece 19 is 1, and the maximum number is determined by the player Set to the set number (in this case “8”) and set to change the color of piece 19 in synchronization with the change of the number display symbol. It is. In this case, it is not always necessary to set the maximum number of symbols for the number of pieces 19 to the same number as the number of players.

[0049] Next, when each player selects a composite appearance including different types of number display symbols from among the composite appearance including eight types of number display symbols, as shown in FIG. The control means 10 displays the game board 18 on the display 5 and around it. Each frame holding area 20 is displayed. Then, as shown in FIG. 9 by the piece arrangement control means 11, pieces 19-1 to 188 having a composite appearance including number display symbols “1” to “8” on the surface are displayed as shown in FIG. After being placed one by one in the initial position, it is set to a state where the game can be started.

[0050] The placement of the piece 19 on the game board 18 is first performed by the player who selects the piece 19 1 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “1” on the surface, and thereafter the number “2” is displayed. A piece with a composite appearance with a symbol on the front 19- A player who selected 2 and a piece with a number "3" on the front 19-19 A player with a choice of 3 and a number 4 A piece with a composite appearance including a symbol on the front 19 A player who selects 4 and a piece with a composite appearance that includes a “5” number display symbol 19 — A player who selects a 5 with a number display symbol and a number display symbol “6” A player who selected 19- 6 with a complex appearance on the surface, a player who selected number 6 for “7”, a player with a number “7” on the surface. The game is allowed to proceed in the order of the player who selected the piece with the composite appearance including the surface. At this time, each player not only selects “composite appearance including number display symbols selected by himself” but also “composite appearance including number display symbols selected by other players” or “no player”. The piece 19 can be arranged with the “composite appearance including a number display symbol” on the front.

[0051] The piece 19 is a square 17 in which no piece 19 is arranged, and the piece 19 having the same type of number indication symbol on the surface includes the other type of number indication symbol. It is possible to arrange the piece 19 with the composite appearance on the surface only on the square 17 that can be sandwiched in either the vertical or horizontal diagonal direction with the composite appearance including the same number display symbol on the surface. The number display symbol of each piece 19 permitted and sandwiched by the control means 11 is incremented by one.

[0052] For example, in the arrangement state of the piece 19 as shown in FIG. 10, the piece 19-5 with the composite appearance including the number display symbol “5” on the surface is arranged in the 9-d cell 17 Then, the frame with the composite appearance including the number display symbol “5” on the surface 195 makes the composite appearance including the number display symbols “1” to “4” and “6” to “8” on the surface. Since the pieces 19-1 to 19—4 and 19-6 to 19-8 are inserted, as shown in FIG. 11, the inserted “1” to “4” and “6” to A piece with a composite appearance that includes the number sign “8” on the surface 19— 1 to 19 — 4 and 19 — 6 to 19 —8 indicates that the number display symbol is incremented by 1 by the piece appearance changing means 12 and the composite appearance including the number display symbols “2” to “5”, “7” to “8”, and “1” is displayed on the surface. The frames 19 2 to 1 9-5, 19 7 to 19 8 and 19-1 are changed, and the color of the frame 19 is also changed synchronously. (At this time, when the number display symbol of piece 19 reaches the maximum number (in this case “8”), it returns to the minimum number “1”.)

After that, when the piece 19 having the composite appearance including the other types of number display symbols cannot be sandwiched by the piece 19 having the composite appearance including the number display symbols of the same type on the surface, or on the game board 18 When all the squares 17 are occupied by the piece 19, the game is finished by the match result judging means 13, and at the end of the game, a composite appearance including a number display symbol with a high occupation rate of the squares 17 is selected. The players are ranked in the order in which they are played, and the results are displayed on the display 5.

[0053] For example, when the game is finished in the state of FIG. 12, the piece having the composite appearance including the number display symbol of “2” in the first place in the order of the high occupation rate of the entire cell 17 in order, V. A player who has selected 19-2, piece 19 2 occupies about 17% (24) of the total square 17 (144), and the second place is the composite appearance including the number display symbol of “6” on the surface. The player who selected the piece 19 6 occupies about 15% (21 pieces) of the piece 19 6 of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the third place has a composite appearance including the number display symbol “5”. The player who selected the top piece 19-5, the piece 19-5 occupies about 14% (20 pieces) of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the fourth place contains the number symbol "7" A player who chooses piece 19-7 with the composite appearance on the surface, piece 19-7 occupies about 13% (19 pieces) of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the fifth place shows the number of "1" A player who has selected piece 19-1 with a composite exterior that includes symbols, piece 19-1 Occupies about 12% (17) of the total square 17 (144), and the sixth place is a player who has selected the piece 19 4 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “4” on the surface. — Four players accounted for about 10% (15) of the total square 17 (144), and the seventh place was a player who selected the piece 19-8 with a composite appearance including the number display symbol of “8” on the surface. , Piece 19-8 occupies about 10% (14 pieces) of the total 17 (144 pieces), and the eighth place is selected piece 19-3 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “3” on the surface The player 19-3 occupies about 9% (13) of the total cell 17 (144), and the empty cell 17 is displayed about 1% (1).

Next, referring to FIG. 8 to FIG. 10, FIG. 12 and FIG. 13, a third embodiment of the present invention will be described. The electronic game method will be described.

[0055] A player (human) uses the input device 6 to select an electronic game according to the third embodiment of the present invention. Further, the number of players, the shape of the game board 18, and Shape, number of squares 17 (total number of pieces 19), elements of composite appearance of piece 19 (number indication symbol and color), and change rule of number indication symbol of each inserted piece 19 (increase or decrease number) Is entered, the basic conditions are set by the basic condition setting means 9, in the example shown, eight players, the game board 18 and the square 17 are square, and the square 17 is 144 pieces. (12 rows and 12 columns), the number display symbol of each piece 19 inserted is set to increase by the number of the number display symbols of the piece 19 inserted, and the minimum number of the number display symbols of the piece 19 The maximum number is set to the number set by the player (in this case “8”), and the color of piece 19 is also synchronized with the change of the number display symbol. It is set to be exposed. In this case, the maximum number of the number display symbols of the piece 19 is not necessarily set to the same number as the number of players.

[0056] Next, when each player selects a composite appearance including different kinds of number display symbols from among the composite appearances including eight types of number display symbols, as shown in FIG. The control means 10 displays a game board 18 on the display 5 and displays a holding area 20 for each piece around it. Then, as shown in FIG. 9 by the piece arrangement control means 11, pieces 19-1 to 188 having a composite appearance including number display symbols “1” to “8” on the surface are displayed as shown in FIG. After being placed one by one in the initial position, it is set to a state where the game can be started.

[0057] The placement of the piece 19 on the game board 18 is first performed by the player who has selected the piece 19 1 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol "1" on the surface, and thereafter the number "2" is displayed. A piece with a composite appearance with a symbol on the front 19- A player who selected 2 and a piece with a number "3" on the front 19-19 A player with a choice of 3 and a number 4 A piece with a composite appearance including a symbol on the front 19 A player who selects 4 and a piece with a composite appearance that includes a “5” number display symbol 19 — A player who selects a 5 with a number display symbol and a number display symbol “6” A player who selected 19- 6 with a complex appearance on the surface, a player who selected number 6 for “7”, a player with a number “7” on the surface. The game is allowed to proceed in the order of the player who selected the piece with the composite appearance including the surface. At this time, each player will be told, “The number you have chosen. Not only “Composite Appearance with Display Symbols” but also “Complex Appearance with Number Display Symbols Selected by Other Players” and “Complex Appearance with Number Display Symbols Not Selected by Any Player” The piece 19 can be placed.

[0058] The piece 19 is a square 17 in which no piece 19 is arranged, and the piece 19 having a composite appearance including the same kind of number indication symbol on the surface includes another type of number indication symbol. It is possible to arrange the piece 19 with the composite appearance on the surface only on the square 17 that can be sandwiched in either the vertical or horizontal diagonal direction with the composite appearance including the same number display symbol on the surface. The number display symbols of each piece 19 permitted and sandwiched by the control means 11 are increased by the number of the number display symbols of the sandwiched pieces 19 respectively.

[0059] For example, in the arrangement state of the piece 19 as shown in FIG. 10, the piece 19-5 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “5” on the surface is arranged in the 9-d cell 17 Then, the frame with the composite appearance including the number display symbol “5” on the surface 195 makes the composite appearance including the number display symbols “1” to “4” and “6” to “8” on the surface. Since the pieces 19-1 to 19-4 and 19-6 to 19-8 are sandwiched, as shown in FIG. 13, the sandwiched "1" to "4" and "6" to For the pieces 19-1 to 19-4 and 19-6 to 19-8, which have a composite appearance including the number indication symbol "8", the number indication symbol is increased by 5 by the piece appearance changing means 12, respectively.

The game is allowed to proceed in the order of the player who selected the piece with the composite appearance including the surface. At this time, each player not only selects “composite appearance including number display symbols selected by himself” but also “composite appearance including number display symbols selected by other players” or “no player”. The piece 19 can be arranged with the “composite appearance including a number display symbol” on the front.

Then, as shown in FIG. 15, for example, as shown in FIG. 15, if the piece 19 is a square 17 in which no piece 19 is arranged, the composite appearance including the arbitrary number display symbol in the arbitrary square 17 It is allowed by the piece placement control means 11 to be placed on the front side, and a piece 19 having the same type of number display symbol on the surface has a composite appearance including another type of number display symbol on the surface. When a piece 19 is inserted, the number display symbol of each piece 19 inserted is incremented by one.

[0067] For example, in the arrangement state of the piece 19 as shown in FIG. 16, the piece 19-5 with the composite appearance including the number display symbol “5” on the surface is arranged in the 9-d cell 17 Then, the frame with the composite appearance including the number display symbol “5” on the surface 195 makes the composite appearance including the number display symbols “1” to “4” and “6” to “8” on the surface. Since the pieces 19-1 to 19--4 and 19-6 to 19-8 are sandwiched, as shown in FIG. 17, the sandwiched "1" to "4" and "6" to A piece with a composite appearance that includes the number sign “8” on the surface 19— 1 to 19 — 4 and 19 — 6 to 19 —8 indicates that the number display symbol is incremented by 1 by the piece appearance changing means 12 and the composite appearance including the number display symbols “2” to “5”, “7” to “8”, and “1” is displayed on the surface. The frames 19 2 to 1 9-5, 19 7 to 19 8 and 19-1 are changed, and the color of the frame 19 is also changed synchronously. (At this time, when the number display symbol of piece 19 reaches the maximum number (in this case “8”), it returns to the minimum number “1”.)

[0068] After that, when all the squares 17 on the game board 18 are occupied by the piece 19, the game result is ended by the battle result judging means 13, and at the end of the game, the type having the high occupation rate of the square 17 The players are ranked in the order in which the composite appearance including the number display symbols is selected, and the results are displayed on the display 5.

[0069] For example, when the game is ended in the state of FIG. 18, the piece having the composite appearance including the number display symbol “2” in the first place in the order of the high occupation rate of the entire cell 17 in order, V. A player who has selected 19-2, piece 19 2 occupies about 17% (24) of the total square 17 (144), and the second place is the composite appearance including the number display symbol of “6” on the surface. The player who selected the piece 19 6 occupies about 15% (22 pieces) of the piece 19 6 of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the third place has a composite appearance including the number indication symbol “5”. The player who selected the top piece 19-5, the piece 19-5 occupies about 14% (20 pieces) of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the fourth place contains the number symbol "7" A player who chooses piece 19-7 with the composite appearance on the surface, piece 19-7 occupies about 13% (19 pieces) of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the fifth place shows the number of "1" A player who has selected piece 19-1 with a composite exterior that includes symbols, piece 19-1 Occupies about 12% (17) of the total square 17 (144), and the sixth place is a player who has selected the piece 19 4 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “4” on the surface. — Four players accounted for about 10% (15) of the total square 17 (144), and the seventh place was a player who selected the piece 19-8 with a composite appearance including the number display symbol of “8” on the surface. , Piece 19-8 occupies about 10% (14 pieces) of the total 17 (144 pieces), and the eighth place is selected piece 19-3 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “3” on the surface The player 19-3 occupies about 9% (13) of the total 17 (144) and the empty 17 is displayed as 0% (0).

After the game board 18 is displayed on the display 5 by the control means 10 and the holding area 20 for each piece is displayed around it, the piece placement control means 11 is set to a state where the game can be started.

[0073] The placement of the piece 19 on the game board 18 is first performed by the player who selects the piece 19 1 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “1” on the surface, and thereafter the number “2” is displayed. A piece with a composite appearance with a symbol on the front 19- A player who selected 2 and a piece with a number "3" on the front 19-19 A player with a choice of 3 and a number 4 A piece with a composite appearance including a symbol on the front 19 A player who selects 4 and a piece with a composite appearance that includes a “5” number display symbol 19 — A player who selects a 5 with a number display symbol and a number display symbol “6” A player who selected 19- 6 with a complex appearance on the surface, a player who selected number 6 for “7”, a player with a number “7” on the surface. The game is allowed to proceed in the order of the player who selected the piece with the composite appearance including the surface. At this time, each player not only selects “composite appearance including number display symbols selected by himself” but also “composite appearance including number display symbols selected by other players” or “no player”. The piece 19 can be arranged with the “composite appearance including a number display symbol” on the front.

[0074] Then, as shown in FIG. 15, for example, each piece 19 is arranged as shown in FIG. If it is not a square 17, the piece layout control means 11 is allowed to place the composite appearance including the above-mentioned arbitrary number display symbol on any of the squares 17 and the composite appearance including the same type of number display symbol is allowed. If a piece 19 with a composite appearance that includes other types of number indication symbols is sandwiched by the piece 19 on the front, the number indication symbol of each piece 19 is the number of pieces 19 Increased by the number of display symbols.

[0075] For example, in the arrangement state of the piece 19 as shown in FIG. 16, the piece 19-5 with the composite appearance including the number display symbol “5” on the surface is arranged in the grid 17 of the 9-d. Then, the frame with the composite appearance including the number display symbol “5” on the surface 195 makes the composite appearance including the number display symbols “1” to “4” and “6” to “8” on the surface. 19-1 to 19--4 and 19-6 to 19-8 are inserted, as shown in FIG. 19, the inserted "1" to "4" and "6" to For the pieces 19-1 to 19-4 and 19-6 to 19-8, which have a composite appearance including the number indication symbol "8", the number indication symbol is increased by 5 by the piece appearance changing means 12, respectively. Pieces with composite appearance on the surface including number indication symbols “6” to “8”, “1” and “3” to “5” 19 6 to 1 9—8, 19—1 and 19—3 to 19 5 The color of piece 19 is also changed synchronously. (At this time, when the number display symbol of piece 19 reaches the maximum number (in this case “8”), it returns to the minimum number “1”.)

Thereafter, when all the cells 17 on the game board 18 are occupied by the piece 19, the game is ended by the battle result judging means 13, and at the time of the game, the number of types having a high occupation rate of the cells 17 is displayed. The players are ranked in the order in which the composite appearance including symbols is selected, and the results are displayed on the display 5.

[0076] For example, when the game is finished in the state of FIG. 18, the piece having the composite appearance including the number display symbol “2” in the first place in order of the occupation rate of the whole cell 17 is high V in order. A player who has selected 19-2, piece 19 2 occupies about 17% (24) of the total square 17 (144), and the second place is the composite appearance including the number display symbol of “6” on the surface. The player who selected the piece 19 6 occupies about 15% (22 pieces) of the piece 19 6 of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the third place has a composite appearance including the number indication symbol “5”. The player who selected the top piece 19-5, the piece 19-5 occupies about 14% (20 pieces) of the total square 17 (144 pieces), and the fourth place contains the number symbol "7" A player who chooses piece 19-7 with a composite exterior, piece 19-7 is about 13% of the total square 17 (144 pieces) (19), and the fifth place is a player who selected the piece 19-1 with the composite appearance including the number display symbol of “1” on the surface, and the piece 19—1 is the total square 17 (144) The player who selected the piece 19 4 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol “4” on the surface, and the piece 19—4 is the whole cell 17 (144 The player who selected the piece 19-8 with the composite appearance including the number display symbol of “8” on the surface, and the seventh place was the piece 19-8. The player who selected piece 19-3 with the composite appearance including the number indication symbol of “3” on the surface, occupying about 10% (14 pieces) of eyes 17 (144 pieces), piece 19-3 Occupies about 9% (13) of the total cell 17 (144), and the empty cell 17 is displayed as 0% (0).

In the electronic game method according to each of the above-described embodiments, as shown in FIG. 20, around the game board 18, the ranking of each player in the game, and each piece 19-1, 19 -2, 19-3, 19 -4, 19-5, 19 6, 19 7 and 19 8 forces ¾H Occupy 17! / Even even number and its occupation rate (%) may be displayed in real time it can.

[0078] Furthermore, in the electronic game methods according to the second to fifth embodiments of the present invention, the force that simply increases or decreases the "number display symbol" of each inserted piece 19 Set an arbitrary mathematical expression, etc., using the “number display symbol of the sandwiched piece 19” or “number display symbol of the sandwiched piece 19” as a variable, and set the “number display symbol” of each sandwiched piece 19 If it is set to change according to the mathematical formula, it is possible to enjoy another more complicated game.

[0079] Further, in the electronic game method according to each of the above-described embodiments, two elements (number display symbol and color of piece 19) are selected as the elements of "composite appearance" of piece 19, and both are changed. As an example, when two or more elements of “Composite Appearance” are selected and changes in each element are not synchronized with each other, the change of “Composite Appearance of Piece 19 Placed” is In addition to what is done for “combined appearance of sandwiched piece 19” and “same type of element”, it can be done for “different type of element” and both.

[0080] Furthermore, for the “composite appearance” of piece 19, as shown in FIGS. 21a, b, and c, the surface of piece 19 is divided and each element is displayed, and each element is changed individually. This is done by setting rules so that players are ranked in descending order of the total number of elements at the end of the game.

As described above, according to each of the above-described embodiments, “number display symbol” and “composite appearance” are referred to. With the introduction of two technical concepts into the piece and the use of both by computer processing, a game can be played with simple rules like a reversal, and there is no existing game, and it has a completely new concept and taste. Let me put a stone into the history of thinking games.

In addition, game evolution and diversity can be achieved, and the following effects can be obtained.

(1) By introducing `` numbers '' among the number display symbols as elements of the composite appearance of each piece, the visibility of each piece is improved, and the type of appearance of each piece increases when playing a game with a large number of people. Will be able to clearly identify each piece.

(2) Since the change in appearance of each piece can be set to a more complicated one, it becomes difficult to drive a specific player's piece to annihilation. You can play against each other.

(3) A game theory that is different from Othello is required, and it is not always advantageous for a player who can place a piece with a composite appearance on the corner at the corner, making it difficult to predict game development. Until the end, you can lose the power of the game.

(4) By complicating the game and making it difficult to elucidate the winning strategy, it is possible to enjoy the game freshly as a thinking game, without making it a game that remembers a fixed stone.

(5) A player who can place a piece with the composite appearance selected by himself at the corner first will not always be advantageous, so the composite appearance selected by himself at the corner from the beginning of the game will be on the surface. The new rule is that it is possible to place a piece with any composite appearance on the surface without sandwiching a piece with another type of composite appearance on the surface. It can be introduced and the game can be further evolved and diversified.

(6) Each time each piece is inserted, it is selected by the user once because it keeps changing repeatedly within a certain range (in the case of a number display symbol, the minimum number power is up to the maximum number) according to the set rule. Even if a piece with a composite appearance on the surface is completely destroyed, it may be revived. In addition, each player can place a piece with the composite appearance selected by another player on the surface even if the piece with the composite appearance selected by him is annihilated, or any player can select It is possible to place a piece with the composite appearance that was not done on the surface. Furthermore, it is possible to place a piece having any composite appearance on the surface without sandwiching a piece having another kind of composite appearance on the surface. For the reasons described above, once the piece with the composite appearance that you have selected is annihilated Even in such a case, the player who selected the piece can enjoy the game until the end without losing.

(7) For example, the shape of the game board, the shape of the squares, the number of squares (total number of pieces), the placement method of the pieces, the number of opponents and opponents (humans, fictional players on the electronic game program side, or both), Various basic conditions such as the minimum number (integer) and maximum number (integer) of each piece and the change rule for each piece can be freely selected or entered, so that the game can evolve and diversify. Monkey.

(8) The introduction of “number display symbol” and “composite appearance” to the piece and the use of both by computer processing makes it easier to change the complexity of each piece, and the evolution and variety of the game. You can make a trap.

(9) Games can be played by one, two, or many players, play against a fictitious player on the electronic game program side, or play against a remote player. It is possible to plan a variety of things.

(10) Because the rules are simple, games can be played regardless of age or gender, and it can be considered as an educational game machine for infants or as a game machine for preventing dementia in the elderly. It can also be used as a game machine that provides gambling games, and can be used for various purposes.

(11) By playing the game, calculation skills, results and prediction of development, left brain planning ability, right brain recognition ability, intuition, sixth sense, etc. are trained, and brain power activation and development Expected to be effective.

(12) Since the maximum number of each piece can be set to be more than the number of players and less than the number of players, it is possible to enjoy a gambling characteristic that is not found in the mouth.

(13) Even in the way of utilization with gambling, it is not the case that each player who seeks a complete coincidence will move the game one by one while thinking about thinking for the victory and proceeding with the game Unlike other gambling, it can make a clear difference.
