The present invention relates to a board game device with a number of preferably systematically arranged Positions or positions for a number of tokens or figures and for two players or groups of players, wherein the playing pieces have two opposing surfaces and can optionally be placed in different positions on the board.

There are already many board games of this type: known. The British Patent No. 512 541 describes a board game with two-tone Tokens on a collapsible board upside down can be asked.

The following is a preferred embodiment of the invention described with reference to the drawings.

Ee show:

1 shows a cross section through a playing field designed as a ball with a protective shield or protective screen,

FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the embodiment of FIG Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 shows a cross section through the board in the unfolded Position,

Fig. 4 is a plan view of the unfolded board and

Fig. 5 is a cross-section through the board in collapsed Position.

A board 1 for a game according to the invention has a number of play figure places or positions that are symmetrical and are preferably arranged rhombically. The number of positions is insignificant and can be adjusted freely depending on the size and shape of the Board game. In the present case, however, the number of positions is twenty-three · Although mainly off aesthetic, but also for practical reasons, the board was made given the shape of a clamshell. But it must be noted that jade different shape that is responsible for the rules and characteristics of the game is suitable, is possible.

The larger number of pawns 3, which in the present case have the shape of balls, are on each side of a horizontal one

and diametrical plane with one of the two different, different characteristics. In the present embodiment, these characteristics are made up of contrasting ones Colors, such as black and white, but of course you can they are also used as patterns in surfaces, characters or markings appear. The remaining pieces, usually one piece for each of the parties, are also designed as balls, however, they have on their two opposite halves only continuously one of the distinctive characteristics otherwise present in pairs, and this is the reason, which is mainly the The tension and versatility of the present game increases compared to the conventional ones

In the exemplary embodiment with figures in spherical shape, the figure seats are preferably designed as a ball socket-like projections 2, and every unauthorized look at the distinctive Characteristic of each piece on board 1 is to prevent each figure is surrounded by a screen or shield 4.

This screen 4 is made of a suitable, non-translucent one Material made and its height corresponds essentially to that Diameter of the balls 3 or generally the greatest distance between the opposite surfaces of Figures 3. Preferably fits the screen 4 on the projections 2.

In the embodiment shown, the shell shape is also of the board 1 designed so that the board along a diagonal in the rhombic figure position pattern in two equal Divided into halves. The two halves are hinged together and have a bowl-shaped concave inner surface on . It is thereby achieved that the figures 3 within the susannengeklappten board between opposing pairs of projections 2 can be stored. By suitable choice of

Depth of curvature of the inner surfaces and through formations the figure places as spherical socket-shaped projections 2 are the spherical Figures 3 set in their positions, plus the stabilizing effect of the seats of the screens 4, and so the pieces are before moving within the board during transport and protected from damage.

Hit the present board game is essentially based on the the rules known for this were played. Assume that the determining Characteristics the colors are black and white, then each one sets of the two parties, called SCHWARZ and WEIB, five figures in the initial positions marked with S_ ... S "or V- ... V" in the drawing · Four of these figure sets are two-colored, while the remaining figures are completely black for the BLACK party and completely white for the WOMEN PARTY (it acts are the so-called "real pearls") ·

All figures of the WHITE party are turned white side up and all figures of the party BLACK will have the black surface and each party chooses a position of its "real pearl" that remains unknown to the other. Since the board facing surfaces of the characters are covered by the screen 4, the players do not know which of the characters of the other the is "real" and therefore the most valuable, and this increases the tension of the game considerably.

The players take turns making a move, that is, a movement of one of their own pieces, and to reach the outermost hole in the farthest position of half of the opponent on the board with their own "real pearl"; these most distant positions are identified by S _Q and V in FIG. 4 of the drawing. Each move can only take one step forwards or sideways, but not backwards, along the marking lines to an empty adjacent position
