Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to modular games consisting of pieces that can be coupled to each other in order to compose multiple structures in space.
  • WO 2009/008691 A1 discloses a modular game according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a new modular game is provided herein that goes beyond the construction of figures in space, which allows to facilitate the understanding of vector space, as well as basic algebraic rules, in order to provide training for future students.
  • the present modular game comprises a number of pieces that can be coupled to each other.
  • Each piece in the modular game may be three-dimensionally symmetrical, for example, they can be inscribed in a sphere.
  • Each piece has at least three pairs of faces arranged in different planes, for example, six faces in a cube-shaped configuration, although many other geometric shapes are possible.
  • the faces of each piece of the modular game may be flat, for example, or may be curved, forming, for example, sphere-shaped pieces, or they may have another configuration.
  • the pieces of the present modular game may be hollow or solid, or partially hollow, as desired. Other shapes and configurations are also possible as long as they are strong pieces, whether they are fully or partially hollow.
  • Each pair of faces in each piece of the present modular game is formed by a first face having a projection which projects outwardly from the piece, and a second face symmetrically opposite to the first face, having a recess whose shape is complementary to that of the projection of the first face.
  • This configuration of projections and recesses makes it possible to couple several pieces to each other by inserting the projection of one piece into the recess of another different piece. Once the pieces are coupled to each other, they are arranged in alignment on at least three different axes in space.
  • the shape of the projection and the shape of the corresponding recess correspond to the letter X in the first pair of faces, to the letter Y in a second pair of faces, and to the letter Z in a third pair of faces.
  • the recesses formed in the faces in the pieces of the game may can be more or less deep as desired.
  • the recess in at least one of the faces in the piece may extend along at least part of a dimension of the piece, for example, along a part or all of the width, height, length, or diameter of the piece, depending on the specific geometry of the piece.
  • a recess of the piece may be formed defining a groove or female track adapted for insertion of a corresponding male projection of another face of another piece. Formation of grooves as a particular case of recesses in the pieces allows coupling of pieces to each other by performing a displacement between them until full interlocking of pieces forming a compact and stable three-dimensional structure of several pieces without gaps, i.e.
  • At least one inner projection may be formed in the groove.
  • This inner projection may be suitably configured to retain in position pieces temporarily coupled to each other, with the possibility of being released from each other as desired.
  • each pair of faces of a piece have a first face with a projection and a second face with a recess, with said projection and recess having a complementary shape corresponding to the letter X in a first pair, to the letter Y in a second pair, and to the letter Z in a third pair.
  • This configuration makes it possible to couple several pieces to each other arranged aligned on at least three different axes x, y, and z in space, as stated above.
  • the faces of each pair of faces may be arranged opposite each other on the piece.
  • faces of different pieces whose projection and recess have the same shape to fit into one another and to couple several pieces to each other aligned on at least three axes, may have the same feature of color, or relief, or texture. That is, each face on which a single letter is provided may be assigned the same color, relief, or texture, for example, although other finishes are possible to distinguish faces with different shapes of projections and recesses.
  • a first color may be applied to the face having the projection with the letter X and for the face having the recess with the letter X
  • a second color may be applied to the face having the projection with the letter Y and for the face having the recess with the letter Y
  • a third color may be applied to the face having the projection with the letter Z and for the face having the recess with the letter Z.
  • relief, texture, other finishes, etc. may be used alternatively to color.
  • one or more holes are formed in at least one face of the piece for inserting other different pieces.
  • Such holes may be formed, for example, in the center of each face of the piece and, in particular, in an area of at least one of the projections, such as a central area.
  • Figures 1-12 of the drawings show three non-limiting examples of the present modular game.
  • the piece has been denoted as a whole by reference numeral 100.
  • Many other examples of pieces 100 having shapes and configurations other than those described below are possible.
  • each piece 100 may be hollow, solid, or partially hollow.
  • the piece 100100 has a cubic geometry, with six flat faces 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, three of which, 110, 120, 130 have respective outwardly projecting projections 111, 121, 131 with different shapes, and the other three opposite faces 140, 150, 160, having respective grooves 141, 151, 161 having a shape complementary to that of the projections 111, 121, 131.
  • the projections 111, 121, 131 of one piece 100 are intended to engage grooves 141, 151, 161 of another piece 100.
  • both the projections 111, 121, 131 and the recesses 141, 151, 161 may be formed in adjacent faces 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160.
  • the piece 100 has a substantially spherical geometry with projections 111, 121, 131 and respective grooves 141, 151, 161 having a complementary shape. This third example may be considered a particular case of pieces with infinite faces or defined by curved surfaces.
  • faces of different pieces whose projection 111, 121, 131 and recess 141, 151, 161 have the same shape to fit into one another in order to couple several pieces 100 to each other may have the same characteristic of color, or relief, or texture.
  • each projection 111, 121, 131 and/or each recess 141, 151, 161 of the piece 100 has, in a substantially central part thereof, a hole 170 for receiving the projection of other pieces different from the pieces 100.
  • these other types of pieces can be in the shape of leaves, insects, etc.
  • the projections 111, 121, 131 project outwardly from the respective faces 110, 120, 130 by a given distance.
  • the other three adjacent opposite faces 140, 150, 160 of the piece 100 have respective recesses 141, 151, 161 whose shape is complementary to that of the projections 111, 121, 131, respectively, formed within said respective faces 140, 150, 160 of the piece 100.
  • projections 111, 121, 131 and recesses 141, 151, 161 in a complementary manner makes it possible to couple several pieces 100 to each other so that they are arranged aligned on at least three different axes x, y, z in space, as shown in figures 3 and 4 in the first example.
  • each piece or cube 100 there are six faces 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 with projections 111, 121, 131 and recesses 141, 151, 161 having corresponding shapes according to a nomenclature +X, -X, +Y, -Y, -Y, +Z, -Z, in the first example shown in figures 1-4 of the drawings.
  • +X is the X-shaped projection 111 in face 110
  • -X is the X-shaped recess 141 in face 140
  • +Y is the Y-shaped projection 121 in face 120
  • -Y is the Y-shaped recess 151 in face 150
  • +Z is the Z-shaped projection 131 in face 130
  • -Z is the Z-shaped recess 161 in face 160, as shown in figures 1 and 2 of the drawings.
  • the essence of the pieces 100 of the first example shown in figures 1-4 is thus the arrangement of projections 111, 121, 131 in the form of three letters X, Y, Z projecting from three corresponding adjacent faces 110, 120, 130 of the piece 100, one letter X, Y, Z for each face 110, 120, 130.
  • These projections 111, 121, 131 in the form of letters X, Y, Z are intended to be inserted into corresponding recesses 141, 151, 161 formed in faces 140, 150, 160 of another different piece 100.
  • Each letter X, Y, Z is therefore repeated twice in the same piece 100, once protruding therefrom, as a projection 111, 121, 131, and once entering therein, as a recess 141, 151, 161.
  • each face 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 on which there is a single letter X, Y, Z may be assigned a color.
  • a first color may be applied for the face 110 having the projection 111 with the letter X and the same color for the face having the recess 141 with the letter X
  • the shapes of the projections 111, 121, 131 are different from letters, and have side notches 190 curved in shape or configured by two inclined planes, as shown in figures 5 and 6 , for receiving a corresponding projection 180; 180' which will be described below with reference to figure 6 .
  • the recesses are configured as grooves 141, 151, 161, two of which 141, 161 are formed in respective edges of corresponding faces 140, 160 of the piece 100, and the third groove 151 is formed in a central portion of the corresponding face 150, as shown in figure 6 .
  • the shape of the grooves 141, 151, 161 is such as to allow them to receive respective bosses 111, 121, 131 of another piece 100, moving inside them until the pieces 100 are coupled to each other.
  • at least the side grooves 141, 161 include an inner projection 180; 180', as stated above and as shown in figure 6 .
  • one side groove 141 has an inner projection 180 shaped as a triangular prism with two inclined planes 181, 182, and the other side groove 161 has an inner projection 180' shaped as a half-cylinder with a curved surface 183.
  • Such configuration of the inner projections 180 and 180' is complementary to the corresponding notches 190 formed in the projections 111, 121, 131, as stated above with reference to figure 5 .
  • Such configuration of projections 111, 121, 131 with notches 190 and side grooves 141, 161 with inner projections 180 and 180' facilitates releasable coupling between pieces 100.
  • the piece 100 has a substantially spherical geometry with projections 111, 121, 131 and opposing recesses 141, 151, 161 having a complementary shape in the form of letters X, Y, Z.
  • the projections 111, 121, 131 of one piece 100 project outwardly from the sphere by a given distance to fit within the recesses 141, 151, 161 of another piece 100, as shown in figures 11 and 12 of the drawings.
  • each player has a number of pieces 100 at the beginning of the game, for example, seven.
  • the game may continue until all players complete their rounds.
  • the game can be played in teams if the number of players is even. If a face 110, 120, 130, 140, 140, 150, 160 of a piece 100 cannot be attached to another face 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 of another piece 100, then the player looks for another piece 100 with a face 110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160 of the same color or with a projection 111, 121, 131 or a recess 141, 151, 161 of the same shape as that of the piece 100 where it is to be attached. If not, then it is the next person's turn. The goal thus is to build a structure using all the pieces 100 while avoiding being blocked or eliminated by another player, so that the first player to run out of pieces 100 wins.
