Definitions

• the present invention has for ob ⁇ and a game of edges to play.
• edges to play a game determines current are generally in the form of a small rectangular card having of 1 one of its faces a figure particular for the game, while the other face comprises a graphic or a color that 'found on all the other maps so that it is impossible to distinguish them by observing the said faces.
• the cards are held in a hand of playing cards by being superimposed on each other and slightly offset so as to reveal a significant figure of the card.
• the document FR 814 212 has for its object a playing card whose outline is oviform with a single axis of symmetry, longitudinal.
• the present invention aims to propose been playing cards more ap p priate to grip and allowing users to recover more easily and more quickly than with the cards described above.
• the playing card game according to the present invention is of the type comprising cardboard or plastic cards and is essentially characterized in that on the one hand each card is made up of a head of generally circular or polygonal shape extending by a part in the form of a comma so that said card does not have any axis of symmetry.
• the comma-shaped part extending the head may have curved or straight edges.
• the head has a generally circular shape and the lateral edges of the part in the shape of a virqule are run and curved so that 1 of said lateral edges is curved towards 1 interior and î another lateral edge is curved towards 1 outside while xe oor ⁇ has 1 ior end of the prolongation in uniform form will preferably be rounded.
• the face opposite to that comprising a graphic or a color may advantageously include for a determined game rule , one or more game zones reserved for one or more particular figures of a given game rule.
• ⁇ _a head and the comma-shaped extension of a playing card according to 1 invention may cnacune include play areas located laterally so as to be vismles in a hand of playing cards in a particular orientation of the card, vertical or no ⁇ zontale and according to a particular orientation of said head or also according to the way of superimposing the cards in said hand.
• FIG. 1 shows a plan view of a playing card according to 1 invention in embodiment comprising playing areas demarcated by curved lines.
• FIG. 2a shows a plan view of a hand of three cards oriented vertically head in oas.
• - Figure 2D represents a plan view of a hand with three cards oriented vertically head in naut and staggered to the right.
• - rigure zc represents a plan view of a hand of three cards oriented as in figure 2D but shifted to the left.
• FIG. 3a shows the different stages of the card recovery process according to 1 invention in order to orient them in the same direction.
• FIG. 3b shows the different stages of the process of straightening playing cards according to the present invention to turn the cards so that they all have the playing side of the same side.
• FIG. 4 shows a current playing card hand and a playing card hand according to the present invention.
• a playing card 1 of a deck of cards consists in a preferred embodiment of a sheet of cardboard or PVC plastic cut to form a head 10 giooa ement circular extended substantially at its semi-circumference by a portion 11 in the form of a comma and whose 1 free end is rounded.
• the lateral nords 12, 13 of the part i in the form of a comma are curved and curved so that 1 of the edges 12 is made concave and 1 other north dimension Ij is made convex, this so as to make the map asymmetrical.
• the playing cards according to the present invention thus allow, because of their asymmetry and their shape, the user to straighten them quickly by easily identifying those which are wrongly oriented and those which are turned over.
• FIG. 3a shows the operations to be carried out to orient all the cards in the same direction by grouping them together and then separating the cards i oriented differently by spreading them apart according to F, F.
• Figure 3D shows how to separate the cards 15 that are turned over from the cards 16 by exercising a pressure seion P centered on each side of the deck of cards 1 then, with the help of the index for example, by carrying out a separation of the cards 15 turned over by a displacement of the latter between the cards 15 and the other cards 16 from the free end of the comma-shaped part to the other opposite end.
• the face 14 of the card 1 which is intended to include the figures or the signs of sets of different rules, will preferably be that or, when the card 1 is oriented with its head 10 upwards, as is the case on Figure 1, the side edge 12 concave is the side side located on the right and the convex side edge 13 is the side side located on the left.
• the face 14 of the card 1 thus oriented is advantageously compartmentalized into five zones 20, 21, 22, 23, 24 delimited by curved lines 2, one of which 2 ′ is transversely substantially head 10 of the comma-shaped part 11.
• the curved lines 2 show on the one hand on the comma-shaped part two zones 20,21 each extending respectively along one 12,11 of its lateral edges and on the other hand the head
• the zone 20 which extends along the right lateral edge 12 converges from the free end of the comma 11 to the transverse line 2 'and the zone 21 extends along the left lateral edge 11 by converging from the line transverse 2 'to the free rounded end of the decimal point formed by the end of the area 20.
• Cnaque zone 20,21,22,23 or 24 is intended to include a figure or words with letters ABCs or Drama, for example.
• the zones 20, 21 and 24 make it possible to clearly visualize the figures or the words when the cards form a hand of playing cards, as can be seen in FIGS. 2a to 2c. As can be seen in Figures 2a to
• the cards are oriented in a certain way, vertically (figure 2a to 2c) or horizontally (figure 2 ⁇ ) or superimposed by being shifted to the right (figure 2b) or shifted to the left (figure 2c) depending on the rule of the selected game showing the zone of the corresponding eu, for example in FIG. 2a the zone 20, in FIG. 2b the zone 21 and in FIG. 2c the zone 24.
• the cards can have either a face with a graphic or a color which is found on all the other cards and a playing face or two playing sides without departing from the scope of the invention.
