Backgammon board with the assigned number for each position on the board for each player

An improved Backgammon playing board that helps players move their stone to correct position (location) easily and swiftly by assigning a number from zero to 23 to each location on face of stoner holder with 2 different color for each player. 1In our example naturally player could add eleven to “7” and move his stone from position 7 to position marked by “18” in black number, (or any combination he want to move his stones).. Improved backgammon board with assigned number for each location (position) of board for each player (see ), Player with black stone will see stone holder numbered from zero to “23” in black color on the direction which he needs to move his stones, white player will see stone holder marked from zero to 23 in white on the direction he need to move his stones. Each time player roll a dice simply he could add numbers on the dice to current position of his stone and move it to new position. For example let's say black player has two of his two stones on position marked number “3” and “7” in black color and roll of dice is 5 and 6 he could easily move his stone on position “3” to position marked “14” in black on stone holder (5 plus 6 equal eleven plus his current position which is three) without worrying about counting positions one by one which is very time consuming and prone to error and many cases humiliating for beginners. Invention relates to game boards specifically boards used for playing the game of backgammon.Backgammon, a board game has traditionally been played by two persons. The backgammon playing board used for ancient game is arranged with 24 positions over which the players alternatively move their respective 15 stones according to roll of dice. The board itself is divided into four quadrants or “tables”, with two tables per side and six triangular points per table. The basic object of the game is to be the first player to remove all of his stones from table. The Stones of two players are moved in opposite directions around the ...

Plot Compass For Creating Gameboards and Moving Pieces

The invention relates to a strategy game that uses a new game device, called a plot compass, that enables two or more players to create a custom gameboard map with tiles of congruent regular polygons. The different circumstances by which these plot compasses create new types of tile allows the game to mark such tile types differently. Differently-marked tiles can signify different kinds of terrain, such as allied or enemy houses of any given individual player—houses that can be as short as one-story huts, or as tall as multi-story towers. When other circumstances create other types of tile, they can be marked as natural terrains that are player-neutral, like mountains, plains, or lakes, along with one cratered hole, and one volcano that can shift its position vis-a-vis all the other tiles during each round of tile creation. Such terrains together can form, in each game, the distinctive geography of a customized one-of-a-kind gameboard, each gameboard resembling an irregularly-shaped island of Micronesia, surrounded by sea. 1. A game of gameboard creation whose plot compass enables two or more players to create a custom gameboard made from connected , congruent , and contiguous tiles of a single regular polygon shape , comprising the steps of:a) selecting one shape from the list of either a 4-sided regular polygon, or a 6-sided regular polygon, thereby creating a selected shape,b) placing one surface of that selected shape face up upon an empty plane of space, thereby creating a seed tile,c) assigning unique compass directions to any subset of the set exhausting every side, corner, and extra-dimensional aspect of that seed tile, thereby creating a frame compass as a template surrounding that seed tile,d) providing to each player an individualized version of that frame compass template, thereby creating two or more player plot compasses,e) allowing each player, during each round of simultaneous gameboard creation, to select a direction of plotting from one's own ...

In the present invention is formed of a plurality of layers, so that the resonance chamber (내부) is formed therein, in the resonance chamber by installing a plurality of strings (String) to increase the resonance effect of the resonance chamber and the string when placing the checkerboard on the board A new type of checkerboard is disclosed in which a neat and playful sound of sound can be generated by the action so that fatigue can be reduced when playing for a long time. 본 발명은 상부면에 가로방향으로 향하는 다수의 가로줄과 세로방향으로 향하는 다수의 세로줄이 동일한 간격으로 형성되고, 상기 가로줄과 세로줄의 교차점에 바둑돌이 놓여지도록 구성되는 상판과; 설계에 따라 정해진 두께로 이루어진 상태에서 상기 상판의 저면 가장자리를 따라 접합되고, 내부에는 공명실을 형성하는공간부가 형성되는 한편, 마주하는 쪽 내벽면에 그 길이방향을 따라 장착홈이 형성되고, 장착홈의 아랫면상에는 다수의 끼움돌기가 정해진 간격으로 형성된 중간판과; 설계에 따라 정해진 두께로 이루어진 상태에서 상기 중간판의 저면에 밀착되게 접합되어 중간판상의 공명실을 막아주는 하판과; 상기 중간판의 마주하는 내벽면에 형성된 장착홈상의 끼움돌기에 끼워져 결합되어 상판상의 교차점에 바둑돌을 놓을 때 그 충격에 의하여 미세하게 진동되면서 바둑돌을 놓는 소리가 공명되게 하는 다수의 스트링으로 이루어진다. The present invention includes a plurality of horizontal lines facing in the horizontal direction and a plurality of vertical lines facing in the vertical direction on the upper surface is formed at the same interval, the top plate is configured to place a checkerboard at the intersection of the horizontal line and the vertical line; Joined along the bottom edge of the top plate in a state of a predetermined thickness according to the design, the inside is formed with a space to form a resonance chamber, while the mounting groove is formed along the longitudinal direction on the opposite inner wall surface, mounting An intermediate plate having a plurality of fitting protrusions formed at predetermined intervals on a lower surface of the groove; A lower plate which is closely adhered to the bottom of the intermediate plate in a state of a predetermined ...

Method and apparatus for playing a game

A game in which the moves players can make simulate both the symmetric and antisymmetric couplings of muscle pairs that accompany co-ordinated movement of the two sides of the human body, and in which each player's move comprises two components, one beneficial to the player and the other beneficial to the player(s) opponents (herein called chiralkines); a kit for playing the game; an electronic gaming device for use in playing the game; left-and right handed money and left- and right-handed property rights for use in a game or commerce; and apparatuses adapted for use with these.

Game apparatus

Game with at least one playing surface

The game has at least one playing surface (1), preferably that of a square housing, which has cavities in (2) into which fit spherical or barrel-shaped playing-pieces (3) so that they can move or turn. The outsides of the playing-pieces have symbols on in various sections, for the game. That part of the two-half (4) board near the playing-pieces and the opposite side and/or at least one lengthwise side of the housing are permeable to liquid.

Architectural construction game and building board therefor

An architectural construction game including a building board is described herein. The building board includes a rectangular rigid board having recessed cavities in three corners and a transparent protecting sheet. A piece of Velero-type hook fastening material is provided in each cavity while pieces of Velero-type loop fastening material are provided on the undersurface of the protecting sheet so as to overly the cavities. The contact between the Velcro-type hook fastening material and the Velcro-type loop fastening material maintain the protective skeet onto the board. A plan may be inserted between the board and the protective sheet so as to assist in the assembly of an architectural construction.
