Description

Skill game

Games of skill are generally very popular and are known in many different versions.

The so-called running, jumping and catching games, which are carried out either without equipment or with a ball, a Frisbee or a skipping rope, have a special place here.

For the development of children and young people, especially in today's computer-dominated and therefore sedentary age, it is important to introduce movement games that demand physical and mental activity at the same time to appropriate people.

It is therefore a valuable task for the game manufacturer to also offer such games.

In order to arouse interest in such games among children, young people and adults, game offers with new game ideas are of great importance.

The invention has set itself the task of creating a game of skill that offers children, young people and adults many interesting new gaming and, in some cases, sporting opportunities and places demands on physical and mental agility while also taking into account the factor of play and fun.

This was achieved by developing a new game of skill (1) that meets today's requirements and, depending on the design and construction, can be used indoors or outdoors.

The invention consists in the fact that the new game of skill consists of several or one flexible loop and wave throwing element (2), e.g. a long flexible rope or hose, at one end of which a loop and wave throwing rod (3) is arranged, and at the other end there is either also a loop and wave throwing rod (3); and/or one or more loop and wave catching elements (4) are loosely, detachably or permanently attached to the loop and wave throwing element (2).

In the following, some of the many possible embodiments, as mentioned in the claims and partly explained in the figure drawings, are described.

For example, the skill game (1) consists of a long, flexible loop and wave throwing rope (2), at the end of which there is a longer loop and wave throwing rod (3) that is either firmly or rotatably connected to the loop and wave throwing rope (2).

In addition, the skill game (1) is provided with a triangular frame (6) which consists of three equal parts and is held together by the attached loop and wave catching elements (4), in this case designed as a rod or tube, by inserting them into the predetermined holes (7).

Additional catch elements can be inserted into the holes provided (7), as can the loop and wave throwing rod (3), which is then also used as a catch element. (See Figure 13)

However, it is also conceivable that one end of the rope is directly connected to the frame (6) in a fixed or detachable manner.

One of the many skill tasks now consists in the player trying to throw a loop over one or more loop and wave catching elements (4). A loop is created when the player uses the loop and wave throwing stick (3) to create a rolling wave with a clever twist, which continues according to the principle of continuous waves up to the loop and wave catching element (4) and wraps around the catching element (4).

To increase the level of difficulty, it must or can be announced in advance over which catching element (4), i.e. over which rod or rods the loop is to be thrown.

The bars are preferably marked by color or by notches so that, for example, certain game points can be awarded to the player.

Several players can take turns to show off their skills, or they can act simultaneously with several ropes attached to the frame (Fig.3). With a little practice, interesting loop patterns (14 a/b/c/d) can be created on the frame (6); or the game task is to complete a predetermined pattern with a predetermined number of loop throwing attempts.

Another interesting game option for two people is that the skill game (1) consists of a long, flexible rope that has a loop and wave throwing stick (3) at each end and this skill game (1) has a catching element (4) in the form of a solid object lying on the ground, e.g. a cube. (Fig.15/16/17a/b/c)

Here, the players take turns trying to create a loop around the cube and then pull it towards themselves with a jerk over a line marked on the ground. (Fig.16) Or the players can create a loop that slides flat across the ground and, when it hits the cube, pushes the cube in the direction of the other player. (Fig.15).

In order to record lines drawn on the ground at the same playing distance as possible, the specified distances are marked on the loop and wave throwing rope (2).

To add another level of difficulty to the game, a player can push or pull the die forward until the die lands on a different color side or another predetermined number.

In order to ensure that the loop is exactly continuous on the ground, the inactive player presses the loop and wave throwing element (2) onto the ground at a predetermined line using the loop and wave throwing stick (3). It is also conceivable that, for example, on the beach, catching elements are simply stuck into the sand, which are then covered with a loop, or that these loops have to be removed again.

Another way to play, which also has a sporting component, is for one or both players to create "waves running across the ground" using the loop and wave throwing rope (2), and other players try to jump back and forth over the rope in the valley of the waves; or jump under the rope when the waves are high without touching the rope, or one player tries to run along with the wave in unison.

Another interesting way to play for one or more people is to let different interesting wave shapes and/or loop shapes run or slide over the floor again and again so that you ₍ and others) can enjoy the sight.

It is a lot of fun when artistic patterns are created in the sand on the beach, for example, with the new game of skill. These patterns are created by the player letting the loop and wave throwing rope slide and/or meander back and forth over the ground in a variety of wave shapes.

In order to make the game interesting for children, young people and adults alike, it is also planned that the loop and wave catching elements (4) represent figures, e.g. people, animals, fantasy figures with tentacles, or that there are frames with further levels of difficulty that are themselves movable, or have movable parts, e.g. that when the loop and wave catching element is touched, it rotates, lights up or generates acoustic signals and/or bends and/or stands up again or new parts of the catching elements (4) are set in motion.

The skill game (1) can also be provided with other acoustic and/or optical elements, e.g. the loop and wave catching element can emit acoustic or optical signals when touched; or the loop and wave throwing rope can be luminous in order to create effective loop and wave figures in the dark.

Another possible design of the loop and wave catching element (4) is that it is mounted on the loop and wave throwing rope in a sliding manner and is set in motion by the loop and wave impact, i.e. is brought from one side to the other side.

Another way to play is that the loop and wave throwing rope (2) is provided with Velcro elements, and as catching elements, Velcro elements or elements with Velcro elements are available.

It is also conceivable that, for fun in summer, the loop and wave throwing element (2) consists of a hose with small holes and the hose is supplied with water via the loop and wave throwing rod (3), which has a water connection.

Further embodiments are named in the claims and partly described in Figures 1-19.
