Abstract

The game is played with counters (6) in a playing field (1) and has segments (3) or recesses (4) with positioning fields. The area has many possible positions for the counters including in lines, diagonally etc. The areas are interchangeable and have different colors and counters can have the same symbol (5).

Description

Plug-in or laying game with game pieces and a playing field Description

Conventional games of a well-known type are "connect four" or "win with four". These games are vertically arranged magazine-like devices that usually have 7 lanes and are open at the top for inserting the game pieces.

In such games, the winner is the first player to form a continuous row of four pieces of the same color. It is possible to build the rows vertically, horizontally or diagonally.

In this type of game, the design options are so limited that the individual channels can only be filled from above.

The invention specified in the claims is based on the problem of creating a game with a horizontal playing field 1 that has a plurality of playing field segments 2 that are located on one level, with the playing field segments 2 being arranged fixedly or movably on the playing field 1. Each playing field segment 2 has a plurality of setting fields 3 or setting field recesses 4 that are arranged in rows so that all the playing field segments 2 together form a common, uniform playing field. The different length rows of setting fields 3 or setting field recesses 4 run parallel, across or diagonally to one another and cross over one another in many places.

If the playing field segments 2 are arranged movably on the playing field 1, they can be exchanged with one another or arranged in such a way that the desired line shapes of setting fields 3 or setting field recesses 4 are created.

The invention achieves the creation of a game with a playing field consisting of a plurality of playing field segments 2 having a plurality of setting fields 3 or setting field recesses 4 arranged in such a way that they form many rows of different lengths that run parallel, transversely or diagonally to one another.

Both players receive the same number of colour-coded game pieces (6), which together correspond to the number of the setting fields (3) or the number of the setting field recesses (4).

The players try to place their pieces on the playing field 1 in such a way that they form as long a chain of identical pieces 6 as possible. One after the other, the players roll the dice to determine their playing field segment 2, into which each player must place their piece 6.

As soon as one of the playing field segments 2 is filled, the remaining game pieces 6 can be placed in the still free setting fields 3 or setting field recesses 4 of the remaining playing field segments. The game pieces must be placed in the adjacent or closest playing field segments 2.

An alternative to this rule is the free selection of the playing field segments.

Once all 6 pieces have been placed, the winner with the longest chain of pieces is determined.

If the players' longest chains of pieces are the same length, the number of the second longest chains of pieces decides.

Plug-in or laying game with building blocks and a playing field Description

An advantageous embodiment of the invention is specified in claim 2.

The further development according to protection claim 2 makes it possible to design the entire playing field 1 individually, which also makes further difficulty variants and additional game rules possible

For example, it can be agreed that if a player rolls the same playing field segment 2 three times in a row, the opponent may swap a playing field segment 2 of his choice with any other.

Furthermore, it is possible to arrange all the playing field segments 2 in any order before the game begins, in order to arrange them after all the game pieces 6 have been placed and then determine the winner.

Plug-in or laying game with game pieces and a playing field

An embodiment of the invention is explained with reference to Figures 1 to 3.

Show it:

Fig. 1 a circular playing field with playing field segments marked by numbers and having setting fields,

Fig. 2 a playing field segment with setting field recesses and a playing piece, in partial section,

Fig. 3 a rectangular playing field with individual playing field segments, which are marked by numbers and have setting fields.

Figure 1 shows an embodiment of a circular playing field 1 with playing field segments 2 marked by numbers, which have printed setting fields 3.

Figure 2 shows an embodiment of a single, movable playing field segment 2 which has setting field recesses 4 in which a playing piece 6 is inserted.

Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a rectangularly arranged playing field 1 with playing field segments 2 marked by numbers, which have printed setting fields 3.

Claims (6)

1. A plug-in or laying game with game pieces ( 6 ) and a playing field ( 1 ), characterized in that the playing field consists of a plurality of playing field segments ( 2 ) of the same shape and size, wherein the playing field segments ( 2 ) have a plurality of setting fields ( 3 ) or setting field recesses ( 4 ) which are arranged such that, together with the setting fields ( 3 ) or setting field recesses ( 4 ) of adjacent playing field segments ( 2 ), they form a plurality of straight rows of different lengths, wherein the rows run parallel, transversely or diagonally to one another and cross over one another in many places. 2. Plug-in or laying game according to claim 1, characterized in that the playing field segments ( 2 ) are firmly connected to the playing field ( 1 ) or are designed as individual parts in such a way that they are movable and interchangeable and can be arranged as desired on the playing field ( 1 ) in such a way that different playing field shapes can be designed. 3. Plug-in or laying game according to claim 1, characterized in that the individual playing field segments ( 2 ) are marked by color, by labeling with numbers, letters or symbols, whereby the marking ( 5 ) can be done either once or multiple times in order to be able to assign each one to one of the sides of one or more dice with the same marking ( 5 ). 4. Plug-in or laying game according to protection claims 1 to 3, characterized in that the setting fields ( 3 ) or setting field recesses ( 4 ) are adapted to the size of the game pieces ( 6 ) and sufficient distance is provided for handling the game pieces ( 6 ). 5. A plug-in or laying game according to claim 4, characterized in that the sum of all the game pieces ( 6 ), half of which are of the same design, corresponds to the total number of setting fields ( 3 ) or setting field recesses ( 4 ). 6. Plug-in or laying game according to claim 5, characterized in that the game has one or more dice, one of the sides of which is identical to the marking of a playing field segment ( 2 ).
