Examples of carrying out the invention

The game can take part several individual players in the amount of from two to four or several teams of players. A game designed for children from 6 years and adults. Average game time 20 - 40 minutes.

The board game contains a playing field 1, for example, of a light green color, a rectangular (square) shape with cellular markings (FIG. 1), game elements and at least one standard hexagonal game die 2 (FIG. 5). Corner sections 3.1; 3.2; 3.3 and 3.4 of the playing field, forming the centers of the bases of each player, are highlighted by the corresponding shading or color and are indicated by the symbol 4, for example, in the form of a stylized star (figure 1). Also, the symbol in the form of a double-sided arrow 5 denotes the middle cell on each side of the playing field (figure 1). Part of the cells of the playing field has special designations or is painted in four different colors (figure 1). The game elements include a set of square cards “Armaments” 6 (FIG. 2) four pieces of players 7 (FIG. 3) and a set of game pieces 8 (FIG. 4). On the front side of each “Armaments” card is a plot of the playing field with nine cells (three cells in length and three cells in width). In the cells there are symbols indicating the place of hit of the projectile 9 (Fig. 2, 8-13) or symbols indicating the place of installation of the mine 10 relative to the location of the player’s 7 pieces (Fig. 2, 14). Each player's piece has a cross-shaped base 11 s.

the same length of the branches 12 and located in the center of the base of the cylindrical protrusion 13 to grip the fingers of the player's hand (fig.Z). The protrusion is painted in the same color as the corner portion of the playing field corresponding to this chip. Cross shaped

the base of each player's piece is made in the form of four

fragments of stylized guns. A set of gaming chips includes chips 8, for example, four different colors, each of which is made in the form of a rectangular prism 14 (figure 4) and is designed to be installed on the cells of the playing field, having the corresponding designations or color (figure 7).

Each corner of the field consists of three cells: corner 15 and two 16 and 17, with one side with it (Fig. 6).

The playing field 1 has a size of 45 cm x 45 cm, and the cage 18 of the playing field has a size of 3 cm x 3 cm.

A set of cards "Armaments" 6 includes 46 cards, of which ten identical cards denote the installation "Min" and 36 cards denote shots "Shells".

Figure 2 depicts seven types of Armaments cards, 6 of which one is 6.1 for the “Min” setting and the other six 6.2 for “Shells” shots.

36 cards for shots "Shells" consist of 6

identical sets of 6 types of cards for shots "Shells" in each. On the front side of each “Armaments” card is a 3x3 square plot of the playing field and the location of the “Shells” hit or the Mina installation site relative to the player’s chip position. All cards are flat, the same size, made in the form of a square. The size of each card is 6 cm x 6 cm.

Each piece of player 7 has a length of 2.5 cm, a width of 2.5 cm, and a height of 1.5 cm. Players' chips may be painted in different colors, for example, blue, yellow, brown, and purple.

A set of gaming chips 8 includes 93 multi-colored chips, of which 9 chips (yellow) “Golden trophies”, 32 chips (green) "Life" players, 14 chips (gray)

replenishment cards "Armaments" and 38 chips (burgundy) "Mines". All chips have the same size and shape and differ only in special designation or color. Each chip has a flat bottom of 18 and a flat top 19. The size of each chip is: length 2 cm, width 2 cm, height 0.5 cm.

The playing field 1 of the proposed game is characterized by

following features. In the corners of the playing field 1 (figure 1) symbols 4 are depicted as a stylized star against different symbols or colors (blue, yellow, brown, violet) - these are the centers of the players' bases. The base of each player is three cells, namely one cell in the corner, which shows the symbol 4 as a stylized star (center of the player’s base) and two adjacent cells 16 and 17 (one horizontally, the other vertically). The cells of the base of each player have the same designation or the same color as the projection 13 of the chips of this player.

Part of the cells of the playing field 1 (figure 1) is marked with a pattern in the form of ring elements 19 or is colored green - these are twelve cells of the "Lives". Another part of the cells of the playing field is marked with a checkerboard pattern 20 or colored yellow - these are nine Golden Trophies cells. The next part of the cells of the playing field is marked with a pattern in the form of bricks 21 or painted in burgundy color - these are eight “Min” cells. Another part of the cells of the playing field is marked with a pattern in the form of rectangles 22 inscribed into each other or colored gray - this is

fourteen cells of "Armaments".

On the centers of the sides of the playing field are four cells with the image of bilateral arrows 5, for example, of orange color. In these cells, players' chips during the course can move “over the edge” to the opposite side of the playing field, that is, into another cell with a double-sided arrow on the opposite side of the playing field (Fig. 19). It is impossible to use “Armaments” cards “over the edge” (Fig. 22).

Figure 7 shows the installation of gaming chips 8 on the playing field 1 before the start of the game. So, twelve game chips

“Lives”, nine game pieces “Golden Trophies”, fourteen game pieces “Armaments” and eight game pieces “Mines” are installed on the cells of the playing field corresponding to them by designation or color. In this case, the cells of the playing field with

Mines game chips installed on them become “mined”. The remaining "Mina" game chips are removed in the game box. Chips of players 7 are installed in the four corners of the playing field (in the corresponding centers of players' bases by designation or color).

The distribution of the “Armaments” cards to the players and the “Lives” game chips before the game starts is as follows.

Before the start of the game, each player receives the following set of Armament cards: a “Projectile” card shot one square straight - 1 piece (Fig. 8); a “Projectile” card shot one cell diagonally - 1 piece (FIG. 9); “Projectile” card shot through one cell straight - 1 piece (figure 10); card

"Projectile" shot through a single cell diagonally - 1 piece (11); “Projectile” card shot through one cell with the letter G “horse to the right” - 1 piece (Fig. 12); “Projectile” card shot through one cell with the letter G “horse to the left” - 1 piece (Fig. 13); card "Mines" installation of three minutes horizontally or vertically - 2 pieces (Fig.14). The remaining “Armaments” cards are put face down on the pile. This stack is called the base of “Armaments”, which at the beginning of the game consists of the following fourteen cards of “Armaments”: “Projectile” card shot one square straight - 2 pieces; Card "Projectile" shot one cell diagonally - 2 pieces; Card "Projectile" shot through one cell straight - 2 pieces; Card "Projectile" shot through one cell diagonally - 2 pieces; “Projectile” card shot through one cell with the letter G “horse to the right” - 2 pieces; “Projectile” card shot through one cell with the letter G “horse to the left” - 2 pieces; Mina card

Setting three minutes horizontally or vertically - 2 pieces.

Also, before the start of the game, each player receives five game chips "Lives" (Fig. 15).

Chips of players 7 from the corners of the playing field (the centers of the bases of the players) seek to obtain resources located on the playing field. Chips of players are moved around the playing field in accordance with the number drawn on one or two game dice 2. The fight for resources and game pieces “Golden Trophies” leads to a clash of players, as a result of which players can lose their game pieces “Lives”. Players use damage cards to inflict damage on other players. The peculiarity of the “Armaments” cards is the relative location of the player’s chips indicated on them and the relative place to which the weapon indicated in the “Armaments” card will be used.

Players own game chips "Lives" and cards

"Arms". In case of using cards by the opponent

"Arms", the player can lose the game chips "Lives". Before the start of the game, players roll one or two game dice 2. The player who has the highest number starts the game. The order of the remaining players is determined clockwise from the player who started the game. Each player makes only one move, then the move is transferred to the next player. Before each turn, the player decides to throw one or two dice to him. Player for each move moves his chip in accordance with

established rules. Before his turn and after his turn, a player can use one “Mines” 6.1 card, that is, in one move, a player can use “Mines” cards twice. If a player wants to use a “Mines” card before his turn, he must do this before throwing one or two dice. Card "Shell" 6.2 can not be used before the first turn. A player can use the "Projectile" card only after his turn, that is, in just one turn, the player can use the "Projectile" card once. After your turn, you can use only one “Armaments” card, that is, you cannot use the Mines 6.1 and Projectile 6.2 cards at the same time.

7 different players cannot stand on the same square of the playing field 1, however several gaming chips can stand on the same square of the playing field. For example, the Mina gaming chip and the Life gaming chip can be on the same cell. If a player gets on such a cell, he will take the “Life” game chip, and then he will undermine the “Mina” chip, while removing the “Mina” chip from the playing field and lose the “Life” chip. If player 7’s chip after his turn falls on square 19, with the Life chip on it, the player must takes the “Life” chip to itself, that is, the number of “Lives” increases from it. At the same time, new Life chips are no longer placed on this cell 19. If player 7 chip goes to cell 22 after the move, with the Arming gambling chip replenishing chip standing on it, then the player will definitely choose one of any Armaments card 6 from the base of these cards, while the Armament gaming chip will be deleted from the playing field. New gaming chips replenish cards "Armaments" on this cell 22 is no longer put. The player is not obliged to show other players which Arms card 6 he took from the base of these cards, but he must show that he took only one card

"Armaments" 6. If a player is simply in the process of his turn

crosses cells 19 and 22, he cannot take any chips from these cells, that is, the player can take chips only from those cells that he gets after his turn. If a player 7 chip after his move falls, for example, on cell 20, with the Golden Trophy game chip standing on it, then the player will definitely take this chip for himself, while the new Golden Trophy game chips do not put on this cell 20. If a player in the process of his turn simply crosses cell 20, then he cannot take the Golden Trophy chip. After the player has taken the Golden Trophy gaming chip, he must deliver it to his base. Each player can only have one undelivered Golden Trophy gaming chip. Any player can take away from another player the undelivered Golden Trophy game chip, but on condition that he himself does not have such an undelivered game chip.

A player can use Armament playing cards 6 regardless of whether he takes any gaming chip from the playing field or not. For example, a player in the course of his turn can get on the cage 22 of “Armaments”, take the “Armaments” “Projectile” 6.2 card and immediately use it. The player is not obliged to show other players how many “Life” game chips and cards

He has “weapons”. During the game, players can

use cards "Armaments" 6, while their opponents will lose the game chips "Life." As soon as a player runs out of Life's game chips, he is considered the loser and leaves the game.

If a player cannot make his move, in the case of, for example, when his chip is in the corner, and the neighboring cells are occupied by chips of other players, he is considered the loser and leaves the game.

A player or team is considered a winner if a player or team succeeds in delivering Golden Trophy gaming chips to their bases more than to their opponents. Also, the player or team is considered the winner if all other opponents are out of the game.

The rules for moving player chips are as follows. The player moves his chip through the cells of the playing field 1, depending on the number drawn on one or two dice. The number of cells that the player’s chip must move in one move

match the number that fell on one dice or the number equal to the sum of the numbers that fell on two dice. The player rolls one or two dice to determine the number of cells to which he must move his chip. Before each turn, the player decides to use one or two dice for him. If a player decides to roll one die or has already rolled one die, then that player in his the current course of the second die can no longer be thrown. And if a player rolls two dice, then he can only walk on the number of cells corresponding to the sum of the numbers drawn on the two dice. The player can walk horizontally and vertically (1-2-3), but not diagonally (Fig. 16). In one move a player can only change once

the direction of movement of its chips, for example, from horizontal to vertical or vice versa (1-2-3-4) (Fig. 17). In the course of the move, the player cannot walk through the cell occupied by the chip of another player (Fig. 18). In one move, you cannot walk on the cage of the playing field occupied by another player’s chip, and you cannot walk on the same cell of the playing field twice, including not re-walking on the cage of the playing field with which the player began to make a move.

In the cells with the image of double-sided arrows 5, the players’s 7 chips can move “over the edge” to the opposite side to another cell with the image of double-sided arrows located on the opposite side of the playing field. Fig. 19 shows how players can go "over the edge" through the cells with the image of double-headed arrows in case of dropping on the game dice, for example, the number 5. These transitions can be carried out only in such a way that the total number of cells passed by player 7 would correspond the number that fell on one or two dice 2 and would not violate other rules for moving players' chips, including the rule that a player can change the direction of movement of his chip only once in one move (Fig. 17). Use the cards "Armaments" 6 "over the edge" of the playing field 1 is impossible (Fig.22).

Further, a description of the types of cards "Armaments" 6 and features of their use. On cards "Armaments" "Projectile" 6.2 marked the cell where the player 7 pieces are located and the symbol "Explosion" indicates the place where the "Projectile" 9 should be released. 9. When using the "Armament" card "Projectile" 6.2 to cause damage to another player, the player is not obliged to, but can turn card at any angle multiple of 90 °. On Fig shows how you can rotate the card "Weapons""Shell" on the example of the shot card "Projectile" through one cell with the letter G "horse to the right", while the "Projectile" can be released

regarding the player’s chips in any of the ways indicated in FIG. If the location of the “Explosion” coincides with the place where the opponent's chip stands, the player who used the “Projectile” game card removes the used “Projectile” card from the game (puts it in the game box). The player against whom the “Projectile” card was used, loses a single “Life” game chip. A player can use the Sniper card only to deal damage to another player. You can not use the card "Shell" without losing the game chip "Life" by another player.

On the “Arms” “Mines” 6.1 cards there is a checkbox for finding player 7’s pieces and the “Mines” 10 symbol shows places where all three must be installed at the same time

"Mines". When using the “Mines” “Armament” card to install the “Min”, the player is not obliged, but can turn this card to any angle that is a multiple of 90 °. On Fig shown as possible

rotate the Mines card, while the Mines 10 can be set relative to player 7’s chips in any way. The cage on which the gaming chip 8 “Mina” is installed becomes “Mined”. The player who used the Mines card removes the used Mina card from the game (puts it in the game box). Part of the cells of the playing field before the game is already "mined". If a player walks through

A “mined” cell of the playing field (a player’s chip crosses a cell with a “Mina” chip in the process of moving) or a player hits a “mined” cell in one move, then the player loses each time he crosses the “mined” cells One game chip "Life". In this case, the game chip "Mina" is removed from the playing field. On the same cell of the playing field there can be several Mina game chips, when crossing or hitting such a “Mined” cell for each Mina, a player loses one Life game chip, while the operated Mines are removed from the playing field. In the absence of "Mina" gaming chips on the previously "Mined" cell of the playing field, this cell ceases to be "Mined" and becomes an ordinary cell of the playing field. It is possible that a player will lose all the game chips "Lives", and the game chips "Mines" on the cell field will remain. For example, “Mina” game chips are three, and “Life” game chips are two for a player, then two Mina game chips will work, and one Mina game chip will remain on the field square. If a player installs the “Mina” game chip on the field square, where another player’s chip is currently located, then Mina is considered to be triggered, and another player, on the cell with which Mina was installed, loses one Life game chip, at the same time, the triggered Mina gaming chip is removed from the playing field.

Players can not use the card "Arms" 6 through the sides (edges) of the playing field, even if they are in cells with two-sided arrows 5. That is, if the player

located on one side (one edge) of the playing field 1, he cannot shoot "Shells" and put "Mines" "over the edge" on the other side (Fig. 22). Also, players can not install only part of the "Min" indicated in the card "Armaments" "Mines" 6.1. If it is not possible to put all three "Mines" indicated on the "Armaments" "Mines" 6.1 card, then you cannot use the "Arms" "Mines" card (Fig. 23).

Golden Trophy game chip and Golden Trophy delivery.

After a player hits the cell where the Golden Trophy game chip is located, the player takes this chip and puts it on the center of its base (Fig.24) and while the Golden Trophy is considered undeliverable. More than one undelivered "Golden Trophy" the player can not be. The number of “Golden trophies” delivered is unlimited. For example, Fig. 24 shows the lower left corner of the playing field, shown in Fig. 1, with the image of the undelivered "Golden Trophy" and marked with dashed lines and inclined to the left of the base of the player 3.1, playing with the same designation. For the delivery of the "Golden Trophy" the player must during the game

move your chip 7 to any of the three cells of its base 3.1, that is, after any of the player's moves, his chip 7 must go to one of the three cells of his base (Fig. 25). After that, the “Golden Trophy” is considered to be delivered and the player takes the “Golden Trophy” chip from the center of its base and places it among its chips. Until the “Golden Trophy” is delivered, any opponent can take it from the player, provided that his chip falls on the next cell (horizontally or vertically, but not diagonally) from the cell, where the player’s trick with the undelivered “Golden Trophy” is located. A player can pick up the “Golden Trophy” from another player only after his turn. You cannot take the “Golden Trophy” before your turn. After that, this “Golden Trophy” is rearranged from the center of the base of the player from whom it was taken to the center of the base of the player who took it. At the same time, the “Golden Trophy” is also considered undeliverable, and to deliver it, the player who took it must also transfer its chip to any of the three cells of its base. While the “Golden Trophy” has not been delivered, opponents can take it from each other, but, as already indicated, only from neighboring cells and according to the rules already indicated, there are no additional restrictions on the use of Arms cards by players. For example, a player in the course of his turn may take a “Golden Trophy” from another player at the same time (in accordance with

rules) use an Arms card against this player 6.

The conditions for exchanging cards during a team game (a couple for a couple) are as follows. If players play on the same team, they can transfer to each other in any number of "Lives" chips and "Armaments" cards, only under the condition that at the time of the transfer, their chips are in adjacent cells. Neighboring cells are considered to be cells having one common side. Wherein

there is a rule in which a player who has no “Lives” chips left is immediately eliminated from the game. You cannot transfer Golden Trophy chips from one player to another. Exchange of chips and cards "Armaments" from one player to player can

take place only after the player is in the course of his turn will move his chip to the next cell to another player. In this case, an exchange takes place between players whose chips are located in adjacent cells, and there are no restrictions on exchange. For example, one player may transfer to another “Life” chips and cards

“Armaments”, while another player may transfer to him the “Armaments” cards.

Players can immediately, but according to the rules,

use the "Armaments" cards received during the exchange process. If the player making the move makes an exchange immediately after

after moving his chip, immediately after his turn, he can, in accordance with the rules, use the “Armaments” card obtained as a result of the exchange. The order of exchange using the “Armaments” card by a player after moving his chip can be any, that is, the player can also use the “Armaments” card first and then exchange with another player. Players cannot exchange if player chips are not in adjacent cells. Also, players cannot

exchange and pick up game chips "over the edge" of the playing field, even if they are in cells with two-way arrows.

Excitement and action logic are the basis of this game, and excitement makes the game exciting, and the action logic is interesting.
