Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] "Industrial Application Field" This invention relates to an interlocking picture puzzle game tool that provides a new level of enjoyment.

``Prior art'' A design such as a painting or photograph is displayed on the surface of cardboard of a suitable thickness, and then this is cut into a large number of irregularly shaped pieces, and the pieces are then reassembled according to the original design. Game tools called jigsaw puzzles, which are played by combining them, have been known for a long time.

``The problem that the invention aims to solve'' However, so-called jigsaw puzzles are meant to be played by one person, and not only can many people not play at the same time, but the method of playing is monotonous and easy to get tired of.

The object of the present invention is to provide a puzzle game tool that allows a large number of people to play in a complex and novel way while applying the structure of the conventional jigsaw puzzle.

"Means for Solving the Problem" The puzzle game device of the present invention has a plurality of pieces of the same shape that have wavy unevenness on one side and forms a square when two pieces are matched, and a large number of these pieces are accumulated. A fitted picture consisting of an edge frame into which a square or rectangular rectangular body is fitted, and a single pattern such as a photograph, painting, illustration, cartoon, etc. is expressed on a plane made of the rectangular body and the edge frame. The purpose of the puzzle is to be achieved by having two or more frame frames and by making the patterns represented on the frame frames and the corresponding fragments different for each frame frame.

``Example'' The drawing shows an example of the present invention, in which 12 fragments 2 of the same shape each have a wave-like unevenness 1 of an appropriate shape on one side and form a square when two pieces are matched.
In a fitted picture puzzle that represents a single pattern such as a photograph, painting, manga, illustration, etc. on a plane consisting of a rectangular body 3 formed by stacking the rectangular bodies 3 and an edge frame 4 that fits the rectangular bodies 3, Set the frame to 2 to 6,
The designs represented on the frame and the corresponding fragments are configured to be different for each frame. It is preferable that the edge frame 4 is adhered and fixed to the base plate 5, and the fragment 2 is fitted into the recess formed by the edge frame 4 and the base plate 5, for ease of handling during gaming and storage. Further, the shape of the accumulation of the fragments 2 is not limited to a rectangular shape, but may be a square formed by accumulation of 8 or 18 pieces, or any other shape formed by accumulation of any number of pieces.

``Function'' An example of a game method that can be performed using the matching picture puzzle game device of the present invention is as follows.

(1) The game is played with about 2 to 6 people, and each person selects the puzzle symbol for his or her own share. After each person has memorized all the symbols well, turn over all of Fragment 2 and place it on the playing field. Spread it out, mix well, and keep a border frame for each person.

(2) After determining the game order by any method (jumping, dice, etc.), the first player turns over any two pieces of the flipped pieces on the field and exposes them for everyone to see. If the two symbols do not match, they are flipped back to their original locations and the game order passes to the next player.

(3) If the two turned over designs match, one set becomes the item acquired by that person, and if it matches your own design, fit it into the corresponding place, and if it does not match your own, Set aside. When you draw a matching set, you have the right to turn over two cards in a row.

(4) As the game progresses in this way, when the game order turns to you and a set of others that match your side is exposed, you It can be used to complete one's own design by exchanging it with that of . (The exchange request cannot be refused.) The exchanged person may fit the set that belongs to him if it matches his design, but if it does not, he may leave it aside. Become. Therefore, if there are items with your own design next to multiple others, you must exchange them while considering which person it would be most advantageous to exchange them with.
(In other words, it is strategically preferable that the pair to be exchanged does not match the pattern of the other person requesting the exchange.) If the other party would gain by exchanging, do not request the exchange and only turn over the pieces of the field. You can choose. Furthermore, even after the exchange, the fragments of the field can be turned over, and if they match, they can continue matching their pictures, exchanging, etc.

(5) As the game progresses in this manner, the person who completes his or her design first is declared the winner, and the rankings are determined in the order of completion. Furthermore, if there is anything left exposed to the person's side at the time of completion, all items must be returned to the person.

``Effect of the invention'' This invention not only provides the enjoyment of simple picture matching by combining two or more types of matching picture puzzles with different patterns, which are made up of a collection of fragments of the same shape that are completely indistinguishable when turned over. This is a meaningful idea that can provide a new level of enjoyment, allowing a large number of people to enjoy a complex way involving memory, strategy, luck, etc.
