An object of the present invention is to provide a game set that solves puzzles in a fun manner as a game using a side board having rectangular solid pieces and squares arranged at least during playing without using writing instruments. The above-mentioned patent, utility model, etc. exist as prior art examples of puzzles having chips and chips, but it is necessary to use a writing instrument such as filling in temporary numbers of answer candidates on replacement boards. In addition, it was a complex and expensive set such as a frame with a magnet and a board with an iron plate or a grid-like insertion type mounting table. Also, there was no consideration for preventing the solution pieces from scattering during use or for storage.

In arithmetic puzzles such as calculation blocks shown in the non-patent literature, there are multiple numbers of answer candidates, and it is necessary to use a writing instrument because each digit is not determined to be one of multiple groups in each group. . In addition, in the conventional arithmetic puzzle, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division can be used separately only for the operation of deriving the numbers of the hint, and the arithmetic problem of the puzzle is limited.

A character is displayed on the upper surface of a rectangular parallelepiped piece at least as many as the grid, and is associated with the character on the upper surface on four sides so that the character or character group of the puzzle solution candidate can be displayed on the grid without using a writing instrument. Arrange the candidate letter or letter group to fill in, select the required letter from among them, and place a puzzle problem paper with a square or a square with the same size as the size of the piece. Made it possible to line up. This adds to the fun of finding letters and allows you to solve puzzles without using writing instruments.

The letters displayed on the top of the piece are alphabet letters, and in the case of the A, E, I, O, U vowel pieces, one by one is displayed on the top in order, and the other four letters are arranged on four sides. In the case of a piece, five characters are grouped as one group, one character is enlarged, the other four characters are displayed on the top small, and one character is arranged on each of four side surfaces to form an English word crossword puzzle piece. It should be noted that characters frequently used may be added redundantly to groups that are fractions of consonant character pieces.

The character displayed on the top of the piece is a natural number from 1 to m, and the two numbers parallel to each other and the two numbers including the numbers on the top are distinguished from the three numbers as well. Then, in the number puzzle in which the numbers 1 to m are filled so that the numbers do not overlap at least in each column, select the answer candidate's numbers from among them, So that the side with the group of numbers can be placed on top. In addition, among the number puzzles, an arbitrary number of grids are divided, a math problem is imposed on each grid group, and a number group of answer candidates is filled with numbers from each group of answer candidates. This is a particularly useful piece because there are a plurality of, and each digit of which is not determined which of a plurality of tiles in each group.

In addition to this, the pieces added to the m × m grid of the puzzle are added to the top surface so as to be visually different by color coding, etc., and marks and illustrations as many as the numbers displayed on the top surface are displayed. By identifying and describing etc., the number group is limited, and it has become easier to search. If the number of squares increases and the number of side faces of the pieces is relatively short, 1 to m number pieces can be additionally increased.

Abutment means including removable parts whose height does not exceed the thickness of the pieces along the outer circumference of the grid is installed on the side of the stand to facilitate the arrangement of the pieces, and the alignment of the pieces does not use magnets etc. I was able to do it. Furthermore, the extra grid can be clearly distinguished from the upper surface by the m × m grid arrangement table, and by filling the lower surface up with the marks and illustrations arranged upwards, (m-1) × (m-1) It is possible to play puzzles with fewer eyes, such as puzzles.

The puzzle game set of the present invention can be used as a container in which the character pieces do not scatter at the time of play, and at the time of storage, all the pieces can be placed on the stand and a box serving as the lid can be added. Although the material of the character block, the side stand and the box cover is not particularly limited, the use of a thinned material or the like makes the product extremely ecological and economical. In addition, the puzzle game set housed in a case capable of storing the A or B standard puzzle problem paper in which the character block and the side stand can be opened and closed from the substantially central portion by wooden or plastic etc is lightweight, inexpensive and convenient for carrying.

Conventionally, the math problem of the hint which leads the number group of each square group of the math puzzle can be used only separately, only addition, subtraction, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, but □ × □ + Arithmetic problems for deriving the value of the arithmetic expression and the numbers in the answer □ are displayed in the cells of each group as in □ = n, or only the symbols such as circled numbers are shown on the sides of each group, and the symbols By using the problem paper which describes the corresponding arithmetic problem in the margin of the grid, the equation can be correctly understood and the range of problems can be expanded.

With the letter piece of the present invention, while watching puzzles printed out from newspapers, magazines, commercial books, and the Internet, you can play as many times as you like on the side table with grid lines, and you can play new puzzles. Create a problem and print it on A or B standard paper according to the size of the number of grids, and watch the problem paper, or place the problem paper on the stand and place a number frame on it to play. It will be possible to

For elderly people who want brain training for dementia prevention or for patients who need rehabilitation of hands and fingers, the puzzle game of the present invention can be played with the difficulty of the game, raising the difficulty little by little and playing with the game sense Improves brain activation, concentration and insight, and exerts excellent effects as a training tool for rehabilitation because it plays by picking with fingers.

In addition, the puzzle game set of the present invention makes it possible for children such as primary school children to become unfamiliar with math and English that they are not good at the same time, while at the same time dramatically improving their thinking ability, imagination and problem solving ability. It is also a learning material that can be expanded tremendously. Furthermore, families such as elderly people and elementary school students, ordinary people such as puzzle fans can also challenge and enjoy more difficult puzzle problems.

First, FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 show a projection view of an example of an alphabet character piece used for the crossword puzzle in the embodiment of the present invention. The shape of the piece 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped, the shape of the upper surface (2) for displaying the katakana characters 5 is square or rectangular, the length of one side is preferably 20 to 40 mm, and the thickness is arranged with the side surface (3) up Therefore, 10 mm or more is preferable, but in the present embodiment, it is a 30 mm square, and the thickness is 15 mm. The letter A is displayed on the top of the four sides (3) of the vowel character (AEIOU) piece (1), and the other four letters (EIOU) are arranged one by one on the side. The same letter is placed on five sides. In the case of the consonant character frame (1), for example, five characters (TVWXY) as one group, one character T (5) is enlarged, the remaining four characters (VWXY) are displayed on the top, and four sides are displayed. Each character (VWXY) is arranged in (3) one by one to make a piece (1) for an English word crossword puzzle. If V is the main character on the top surface (2), WXYT is placed on the side surface 3. Although one Z remains, frequently used consonant characters (eg, KSTN) may be used redundantly. The lower face (4) can be arranged with words beginning with the main letter (5) on the upper face and / or its illustration (10) to analogize the letters on the upper face, and to fill unnecessary grids and black squares used.
In this embodiment, the total number of pieces (1) is 30, and it is possible to play from a puzzle of 6 × 6 or more squares by increasing the number of pieces of vowel characters.
In addition, the piece (1) of the alphabet character in the embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the English word crossword puzzle, but can correspond to the crossword puzzle using various alphabet characters such as English Nankuro.

2 and 3, there are multiple solutions, and it is an arithmetic problem The following is a description of arithmetic puzzles, as it is particularly suitable for arithmetic puzzles that use as hints.

FIG. 8 shows a plan view of the problem sheet (17) of the arithmetic puzzle in which the mesh size m × m is 5 × 5 as an example. A 5 × 5 grid 14 is divided into groups of 2 to 4 (usually 1 to m) grids, and an arithmetic problem (18) is imposed to obtain a solution of a number of numbers in each group. For example, the problem to the group of three eyelids in the same row, the solution of □ + □ + □ = 9 is two sets of 1 · 3 · 5 and 2 · 3 · 4, so instead of writing this, the present invention In the case of 1 or 3 or 5 displayed on the top, look for a group of 1 3 5 numbers written on the side (3) of the number piece (1). Look for the described side (3) of the group of

numbers

3 and 4 and place the two pieces on the side of the group with the side (3) up. In the same way, solve the problems of all the groups and arrange the numbers (3) with the sides (3) facing up, and select one number group from multiple number groups so that the numbers 1 to 5 do not overlap in each row, and The number of each column (14) is selected by using the total number of numbers in each column as 15 as a hint.

FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 show projection views of an example of the numeral piece in the embodiment of the present invention.
