Description

[Detailed description of the invention] [Industrial field of application] This invention relates to number matching shogi as an indoor play tool that can be easily enjoyed by people of all ages and genders.

[Prior art]

Traditionally, Go, Shogi, Mahjong, Chess, Othello,
There are various indoor play equipment such as playing cards, which are loved by many hobbyists. These games are to be enjoyed according to their respective game rules, and it is desirable that they can be enjoyed easily at home, office, etc. for that purpose,
It is also important that the game rules be simple and that the necessary equipment be inexpensive and easily available.

Some of the conventional play equipment have complicated rules and take time to master, and have not gained many enthusiasts, including children, and some have limitations such as requiring multiple players. . There is also something
Some games are difficult to enjoy easily because they require professional or expensive equipment and take a long time to play.

[Problem for invention]

The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems and provide a new indoor play equipment that can be enjoyed in a short time using simple and inexpensive equipment that follows relatively easy rules.

[Means to solve problems]

The above problem was solved by creating a rectangular board with a total of 30 squares in 5 rows and 6 columns in the vertical and horizontal directions, and a total of 10 squares with 5 squares for each of the two opponents. A number matching shogi game consisting of two sets of pieces, each of which has at least one set of consecutive integers from 1 to 5, or a symbol corresponding to that integer, so that they do not overlap each other. On one surface, each piece has a mark or shape that defines the direction of attack, and the five squares at the bottom of the board are used as one's own side to line up the set of pieces at the beginning of the match. The game is solved by number match shogi, in which the first mover is prohibited from moving a piece in just one place on the first move, so the two squares lined up in the center of the center row of the board have identification marks.

[Effect]

The number match shogi game invented by this invention consists of moving 5 pieces each on a board with a 5 x 6 square grid alternately in any number of rows, columns, and diagonals, and moving pieces of three consecutive numbers in rows, columns, and diagonals. This is a game where the person who lines up wins. The only rules in this case are that each piece can move vertically, horizontally, diagonally, etc., that there is a prohibited position for the first mover, and that pieces that have not moved on their own side are not subject to number matching. It is a competition to see who can match their own numbers as quickly as possible while interfering with the opponent's number matching.

〔Example〕

This invention will be explained in more detail below based on the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a shogi board 10 for number match shogi according to this invention. As is clear from the figure, the board 10 is a rectangular board having a total of 30 squares, 5 columns horizontally and 6 rows vertically. The material of this board may be cardboard, wood, plastic, metal, etc. Note that when using magnetic pieces, which will be described later, a board made of magnetic material is naturally used.

Frames 12 and 12', which are displayed in square shapes at the upper and lower ends of the board 10, are the own sides of both opponents, and prior to the start of the game, their own numbered pieces, which will be described later, are placed only in these areas. In addition, the two squares 13 and 13' displayed in the middle of the board 10 indicate the first move prohibition point of the player on the play side, and this prohibition point applies only to the player on the play side. In other words, the player who goes first and places his piece in box 12 cannot place a piece in square 13' with his first move. Similarly, the first mover who places his piece in box 12' cannot place a piece in box 13 with his first move. It should be noted that any part of the board, including these cutout parts, may be colored in an appropriate color. Colored chess boards are particularly suitable as children's games.

The upper part 21 of FIG. 2 shows an example of pieces 1 to 5 used in the number match shogi game according to this invention.
Five consecutive integers are attached to each piece in such a way that one's own piece and the opponent's piece can be distinguished. This may be such an integer, but as shown in the middle row 22 or lower row 23 of FIG. 2, a symbol corresponding to an integer commonly used in dice, mahjong tiles, etc. may also be used. Here, the shape is similar to a shogi piece, and the pieces are distinguished from each other by the direction of the pieces, and each piece has an integer number of 1.
Although the figures are numbered 5 to 5, other embodiments may also be adopted. For example, the pieces can be made into arbitrary shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and rhombuses, one set of five pieces can be set in a certain color, and the color of the other set can be changed. Also, the direction of the pieces can be changed by placing the number on the tip of the piece. ,
Therefore, we can distinguish between self and self. Further, the shape of the piece may be, for example, any shape of a Chess piece. Also, the numbers are not limited to one digit, but can be combined with two digits or other letters and symbols to distinguish between different pieces. Furthermore, in order to use the disc advantageously even when there is vibration such as in a vehicle, it is convenient to form the board from a magnetic material and to make the pieces magnetized. Magnetism can be imparted by embedding a small magnet, or by imparting magnetism to the piece forming material itself, such as rubber or plastic. Since there are many combinations of changes in these aspects, not all of them will be described.

Next, a game rule in which the board 10 of FIG. 1 and the pieces of FIG. 2 are combined will be explained.

In the game of number match shogi developed by this invention, two people take turns playing the game. As shown in Figure 3, on the board 10, each player arranges five pieces in any order on their own side.
The first and second moves are initially determined by Jiyanken, etc., and from the second round onwards, the loser can be the first player. It is also possible to adopt a rule that looks at the arrangement of the opponent's pieces and swaps the two pieces in the opponent's base in the order of first move and second move. Even in this case, if there is no need to replace it, it may be left as is.

Next, the game starts running. The first mover can move his pieces to any position. In that case, the △ and ▽ parts 13 and 13' shown in the middle of the board 10
Among them, the other side part, here △ part 13', is
As explained earlier, first place is prohibited. This rule was established in order to simplify the game by allowing the player to finish first in the above-mentioned portion, resulting in a guaranteed victory. After 2nd place, you can advance your pieces to any point.

As shown in Figure 4, pieces can move any number of times vertically, horizontally, and diagonally, as long as there are no other pieces on their side or on the opponent's side.
You can move just like the rook in Japanese shogi. During this move, you cannot capture your opponent's pieces, and all pieces move in the same way; there is no difference in their movements.

The game of number match shogi is won when three integers from among integers 1 to 5 line up in a continuous cyclic number sequence either vertically or horizontally as shown in FIG.
The arrangement of pieces in this case is "1, 2, 3", "2, 3,
4”, “3,4,5”, “4,5,1”, “5,1,
They must be consecutive integers such as "2". The faster you can achieve this arrangement, the more you win. Since moves are made alternately, players compete to arrange their own pieces in a winning arrangement while interfering with the opponent's arrangement. If the sequence is completed with the next move, it is convenient from the viewpoint of fair play to warn of a "win".

As shown in Figure 6, if the combination is in the corner of the opponent's side, you can win even if the combination is in a position other than one row.

An arrangement like the one shown in Figure 7 is not a win because the order of the numbers is not a regular integer sequence. Also, as shown in Figure 8, an arrangement with pieces in your own territory will not result in a win. If such a rule is adopted, the game will be decided in an extremely short number of moves, and the game will lose interest, so these arrangements are not considered a win.

The number match shogi invented by this invention is composed of extremely simple rules, so it is difficult to wait in the game.
It is desirable to make arrangements not to allow such.

[Effect of idea]

The number match shogi game invented by this invention can be played using simple equipment as described above. Also,
Since the game can be played in a short time using simple rules that anyone of any age or gender can understand, it can be easily enjoyed at any time or place. Therefore, it is possible to enjoy not only family gatherings, but also during regular indoor games such as Go, Shogi, or mahjong, where it is difficult to play, such as during short breaks or while riding a vehicle.
