Description

The present invention relates to a game.

Games with playing cards or dice in a wide variety of designs are well known.

The disadvantage of games is that they are so well known that they tend to become a bit boring, so there is a constant need for new games that allow for a large number of possible game variants.

This need is now solved according to the invention by the game characterized in claim 1, which consists of a set containing a plurality of playing cards that are spread out on a base, with each player rolling a die over the playing cards spread out on the base.

It is advantageous to use a cotton or felt pad to dampen the noise and prevent the cube from rolling onto the

playing cards. It has been found that the size ratios specified in claim 2 can be of particular inventive importance for the game.

In the following, the invention is explained in more detail with reference to the drawing.

It shows:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of an exemplary game according to the invention in which cardboard playing cards are spread out next to each other on a black cotton base.

40 playing cards measuring 6 x 9 cm all have a black back, with ten of them each having a color such as red, yellow, green or blue, i.e. there are ten blue, ten green, ten yellow and ten red cardboard playing cards, which are laid out face down on the base (50 x 50 cm) with the black back facing the viewer. Each player has his or her own wooden dice, which also has these four colors and also white and black, with each color assigned to a side. The player then rolls the wooden dice, which has an edge length of 25 to 30 mm, over the playing cards so that the dice with one color remains on a playing card. It has been found that the dice usually show the color of the playing card underneath it. Variants of this form of game are conceivable. The preceding description shows the technical aspects of this invention, for which protection is sought exclusively within the scope of the appended claims. For the sake of good order and comprehensibility, however, the following game instructions, the game system and the increase in difficulty levels are mentioned, although these are not claimed per se:

Mindgame is the world's first sensitive board game on the market. Sensitive means "receptive to the subtlest stimuli", referring to those stimuli where information is either taken from matter that is not visible to the eyes (psychic vision) or from the thoughts of another person (telepathy).

In our experience, the basic game variants described below are the most suitable for ensuring an exciting introduction to discovering your own sensitivity. For all game variants in which the boards are laid out, the game mat serves as a playing surface and to protect the boards.

The game is very variable. With a little creativity, the game variants can be expanded as desired. The basic games 1-4 are particularly suitable for getting to know the game quickly. We recommend starting with the basic game 1.

White wins - Basic game 1

2-6 players

The 40 color tiles are laid out face down on the playing surface. Each player is given a color die. Before the game starts, the player who starts is determined by rolling the dice. The color order is white, yellow, red, green, blue and black. The player with the highest color begins by rolling, with the die landing on the playing field. He then tries to draw the color he rolled. If he draws it, he can keep the tile and try to draw more tiles of the same color. If he turns over the wrong tile, it remains face up and it is the next player's turn.

If a player rolls a color of which there are already open tiles on the table, he may take all tiles of the corresponding color and try to draw more tiles of that color.

If a player rolls white, he can take all the face-up tiles of one color and can roll the dice again. If no tiles are face-up, the player chooses a color and tries to draw it (if you want a slow game, a player can only take one face-up tile of his choice if he rolls white).

If someone rolls black, he must place a board from his own stock face up back on the game table.

If there are only face-up tiles left on the playing surface and the die shows a color that is no longer there, it is the next player's turn.

The winner is the person who has the most boards at the end.

(Tip for this variant see also under "Secrets of the game")

Clairvoyance

1) Mindgame or - Basic game 2

2-6 players

This game is played without dice. The boards are shuffled and then distributed among the players. Each player makes a stack of his boards with the color side down and places it in front of him on the playing surface. The youngest player at the table (player 1) begins the game by concentrating on the top color board of any opponent and making a guess. The player who is played turns over the top board. If the color of the board matches the guess made, player 1 receives this and the next board (without looking at it) from his opponent's stack, pushes them under his own stack and continues his turn. He can now play to a new opponent or to the same player again. If only the cold/warm spectrum (red/yellow are warm colors, green/blue are cold colors) matches the tip, then player 1 still gets the board, but not a second one like with a "bull's eye", and it's his turn. If a cold color is announced and the board shows a warm one, or if warm is announced and the board shows a cold one, then player 1 does not get the board, the opponent pushes it under his own stack and now it's his turn to name a color.

If a player only has 4 tiles or less left, he may shuffle them or swap them face down with an opponent so that the order of the colors cannot be remembered.
The winner is the person who has all the color tiles at the end.

Tips for the game: Children's concentration can wane after half an hour. To reawaken children's interest in the game, or to speed it up, you can introduce the rule that if there are several direct hits in a row, the number of tiles to be handed in increases by two tiles per hit. This rule is particularly useful if there are two or only two players involved in the game. If there are 5-6 players, or to increase the level of difficulty, you can decide that only direct hits count. In this case, only one color tile is handed in; mere cold/warm matches are also mistakes, and players change.

2) Silent Mindgame a

2-6 players

Like variant 1), except that no speaking is required. The tip is given using a die that is turned over with the corresponding color facing up and placed in front of the boards of an opponent. The opponent now knows that he is being played. The other players can turn their dice with them, out of competition.

3) Find your light

2-4 players

a) (2 players) 10 blue and 10 yellow boards are mixed and laid out face down on the playing surface. Each of the two players chooses one of the two colors. Player 1 begins the game by revealing a board. If it is his color, he can place the board face up on the table in front of him and continues his turn. If the board shows the color of his opponent, he gets the board and it is his turn.

The winner is the first person to have all 10 tiles of their color face up on the table in front of them.

b) (3 players) The red boards are added here.

c) (4 players) The green boards are added here.

4) Find the sun in the water - Basic game 3

player

Eight blue and one yellow board are shuffled and placed face down on the playing surface in three rows of three. The player gradually uncovers and removes the blue boards one by one, with the aim of leaving the yellow board as the only one left at the end. Or he tries to uncover the yellow board straight away.

The appeal of this game variant can be increased by having the player blindfolded and having another player announce the color of the revealed tiles.

5) Colour sequence

- 2 players

(2 players) The cards are shuffled and six boards are placed face down in a row on the playing surface in front of each player. Player 1 begins by placing a die in front of each of his opponent's boards with the color facing up that he thinks is hidden on the color side of the board behind it. The opponent now reveals the first board (from left to right from player 1's perspective). If the color matches the die, player 1 gets the board and reveals the next board. If only the cold/warm spectrum matches (see variant 1), player 1 does not get the board but reveals the next one. If nothing matches, it is the opponent's turn. Each round, a player takes a turn until either all six boards are revealed or until the row is prematurely broken off by a wrong guess.

After each round (all boards of both players are revealed), the remaining boards are put aside and new ones are laid out from the stack.
The winner is the one with the most boards at the end.

(1 player) This game can also be played alone to train your own sensitivity

: it..

6) Risk with Colors - Basic Game 4 '"

2-6 players

The 40 color tiles are shuffled and laid out face down on the playing surface. The youngest player at the table (player 1) begins by declaring a color or by turning the dice. He then tries to uncover a tile of the announced color. If the guess matches the revealed tile, player 1 can take the tile, but must pass the right to play to the next player. He can also leave the tile lying and try to declare and find more tiles. The risk here is that if an incorrect tile is revealed, he must leave this and all the tiles already found in this turn lying face up on the playing surface and give up the right to play. He only wins tiles if he voluntarily gives up the right to play after a success or if he successfully reveals the last hidden tile. If the first guess is already wrong, the tile also remains face up and it is the next player's turn.

If a player uncovers a color of which there are several open tiles on the playing surface, he can take all the tiles of this color, but then he must give up the right to play. He can also take the risk of continuing and winning more tiles.

If there are only face-up boards left on the playing surface, the game is over. The winner is the person who has won the most boards.

7) Blind Order

1-6 players

This game is played either alone or with others, but the aim is not to win against someone, but to do as well as possible together.

The 40 tiles are shuffled and placed in a stack in the middle of the playing area with the color side facing down. A dice is placed on each of the four corners of the playing area, each showing one of the four colors. Each corner is now marked in a color.

The game begins with all players concentrating on the top board of the stack and agreeing on a guess as to what color it is. Then a player takes it from the stack and places it face down, without anyone looking at it, next to the die whose color matches the guess. Now the players concentrate on the next board, and so on. This continues until there are no more boards in the middle and a stack of at least ten boards has been formed at each of the four corners.

Now the stacks are revealed and the players count how many tiles they have placed correctly. The highest win in this game would be if there were ten tiles of one color under each stack at the end. But even three matches per stack are higher than the average probability.
A tip: if the players hold hands while concentrating together, they often have the same idea. This makes it easier for them to reach agreement.

We also found that the tip is more often correct.

8) One or none *"

2-6 players

The 40 color tiles are placed in a stack with the color side down in the middle of the playing area. Each player is given a dice! and concentrates on the top tile of the stack. Then everyone turns their dice to the color they think matches the color of the tile. The player whose guess matches the color of the tile gets it. If two or more players have made the correct guess, there is a truncation between them. To do this, the recognized tile is first placed next to the stack (it is now in the "pot") and the players involved in the truncation give a guess for the next tile. If several players have made the correct guess, this tile also goes into the "pot". The truncation is over when only one player has made the correct guess. He then receives the "pot".

If no one has made the correct guess, no one gets the "pot". It stays for the next round, in which all players are involved again. The top board goes into the "pot" if none of the players has correctly identified it. The "pot" and the board on top can only be won by the player who is the only one to have accurately identified the color of the board (at the beginning or during a trumping).

The game is over when there are no more boards left in the stack. The winner is the player who has won the most boards.

9) Colour memory
2-6 players

Like Memory but with color boards.

The 40 color boards are shuffled and laid out face down on the playing surface. The youngest player at the table begins by turning over two boards. If they show the same color, the player can keep the boards and it is another turn. If the boards show different colors, he must turn them over again and it is the next player's turn. This continues until there are no more boards on the table.

(The level of difficulty can be increased by finding three or four identical tiles in order to be allowed to keep them. However, some tiles will then be left behind at the end.)

The winner is the person with the most tiles at the end of the game.

telepathy

Telepathic games must always be played together. The role of the person sending is just as important as that of the person receiving. There are no winners or losers. If someone does not want their thoughts to be recognized, then this is not possible. There are no set rules for telepathic games. To start with, it is usually easier if the players touch hands during the transmission.
The sender concentrates on a consciously chosen (selected) or unconsciously chosen

(drawn/rolled) color board or dice color that he has in front of him so that the recipient cannot see it. He then tries to transmit this to the recipient.

What is interesting here are the differences between the chosen and drawn colors, as well as the harmonious feeling between people when the transfer is successful. (The most suitable for telepathic games is the mind game &Dgr;, the game pyramid)

Prediction (and Psi-Kinesis)

Predictions are difficult because you cannot concentrate on a given thing, but on an event that will take place in the future. The time in between can be influenced by so many disturbing factors that prediction becomes very difficult. These games are psikinetic because the player tries to influence the course of the dice through concentration, so that it shows the desired color.

1) The magic throw!

1-6 players

Player 1 indicates the color of the die (not black or white) before it is thrown. He then throws the die and - this is important - concentrates on the color until the die stops rolling. If the color of the die matches the prediction, player 1 receives two tiles, which serve as proof of points in this game. He can now make another prediction and roll the dice again. If only the cold/warm spectrum matches, player 1 receives a tile and continues his turn. If the prediction was completely wrong, it is the next player's turn. The same applies if a player rolls black. If someone rolls white, he can roll the dice again, but without receiving a tile or being allowed to make a new prediction. The winner is the first person to score 4, 7 or 10 points (depending on the number of games and the desired length of the game).

To increase the level of difficulty, you can decide that only direct hits count, in which case only one point (board) is awarded, mere cold/warm matches are also mistakes, and the player changes.
(You can also play this game alone to test your own sensitivity)

2) The colors of the dice

2-6 players

The player predicts four colors (e.g. 2 x green, 1 x red, 1 x white, but also 4 x yellow). He then throws four dice (one after the other, or if possible all together), and he is given boards to keep track of the number of colors that match the prediction. It all goes around. The winner is the first to get 4, 8 or 12 hits (depending on the number of players and the desired length of the game).

Theory of sensitivity (Excerpt from "the book)

Sensitivity is primarily revealed by believing in it. Once this step has been completed, it is a matter of gaining confidence in one's own sensitivity. However, a prerequisite for success is always a certain degree of balance and inner peace. Balance and inner peace can be conveyed by playing Mindgame. However, ambitious, restless people can also spontaneously achieve several hits in a row when they are "in the flow". Skepticism, inner restlessness, but also just the fear of failure when it comes to having to choose the right color under pressure, usually leads to failure. This is probably because these states and attitudes block the door to the space in our consciousness where the ability to be sensitive is given. Clairvoyance and telepathy then no longer exist, and the hit rate is only rarely above the average mathematical probability. In this case, we attribute the success to something that we have no influence on and call it "chance" or "luck".

We have all had experiences in everyday life where we suddenly recognize things or circumstances without having perceived them with our conventional senses or worked them out with our minds. We often speak of intuition or inspiration, which is nothing other than an area of the sensitive spectrum.

Let us imagine the subconscious as a house with many rooms in which our life takes place. Now and then rooms open up and the contents enter our consciousness. Let us now assume that in one of these rooms there is the ability to see things that are hidden from our eyes. You could also say that it is an additional sensory organ with which we can receive color vibrations and thought vibrations (in relation to the game).

Every now and then this space opens and we have an inspiration. As we become more confident in this space, the door opens more often and more widely - we experience ourselves as sensitive beings.

But even then you will realize that sensitivity cannot simply be taken and held on to, because it is a free feeling and still contains so many secrets that only each person can resolve for themselves.

Secrets of the game

During our years of research, we made the following recurring observations:

- Children have on average twice as high a hit rate as adults,

- Girls are usually a little better than boys,

- green and yellow are often confused with each other at first, but this changes over the course of a few games,

- in variant 1) clairvoyance it often happens that an incorrectly announced color ends up on your own pile.

- For children (4-12 years) we calculated an average hit rate of 80%,

- the first thought is usually correct.

- If in the variant “White wins” the dice lands on a hidden spot in the playing field

board, it happens surprisingly often that the color on top matches the color on the hidden board. Try it out...

- Relaxation (calm breathing, concentration, inner gathering,...) increases the hit rate

- We recommend playing at the table, keeping your back as straight as possible and the soles of your feet on the floor. The other players should not eat or drink anything during the game. These tips are based on an old Far Eastern basic experience to increase human sensitivity.
