[0025] The following further clearly and completely describes the technical solution of the present utility model through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, other embodiments obtained without creative work all fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement conditions between components in a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indications will also change accordingly.
[0027] As Figures 1-4 shown, a game board includes a board body 1. A game area 111 is provided on the board body 1. A carbon film keypad 2 is installed in the game area 111. A number of carbon film keys 21 arranged in a matrix are provided on the carbon film keypad 2. A light-transmitting hole 211 is penetrated through each carbon film key 21. A through hole 1111 is penetrated through the board body 1 corresponding to the bottom of each carbon film key 21 in the game area 111. A lamp board 3 is provided in the board body 1. A number of LED lamps 31 arranged in a matrix are provided on the lamp board 3. An LED lamp 31 is correspondingly provided at the bottom of each through hole 1111. The light emitted by the LED lamp 31 sequentially passes through the through hole 1111 and the light-transmitting hole 211 and is emitted outside the board body 1. During the game, the placement state of the piece at this position can be displayed through the light, and different types of pieces are represented by emitting different colors of light. A PCB board 4 is provided in the board body 1. A control module is provided on the PCB board 4. The control module has functions such as processing information and outputting control instructions. The control module is connected to the carbon film keypad 2 and the lamp board 3.
[0028] The lamp board 3 is made of composite substrates such as CEM-1 and CEM-3 composite base copper clad laminates (a copper clad laminate made by using wood pulp fiber paper or cotton pulp fiber paper as the core material reinforcement and glass fiber cloth as the surface layer reinforcement, both of which are impregnated with flame-retardant epoxy resin is called CEM-1; a copper clad laminate made by using glass fiber paper as the core material reinforcement and glass fiber cloth as the surface layer reinforcement, both of which are impregnated with flame-retardant epoxy resin is called CEM-3). This type of board is cheaper than the commonly used FR4 type board for making circuit boards, and the production cost can be reduced.
[0029] In other embodiments, the lamp board 3 and the PCB board 4 can be integrally provided and are both made of composite substrates.
[0030] The carbon film keypad 2 is printed with a conductive circuit and key contacts. The carbon film keys 21 are correspondingly arranged on the key contacts. The control module can receive the signals sent by the carbon film keys 21 to judge the information of the chess pieces at the current position, and then the control module controls the LED lights 31 to emit corresponding lights. Since the production process of the carbon film keypad 2 is relatively simple and has good durability, the production cost is relatively low.
[0031] The carbon film keys 21 are arranged on the carbon film keypad 2 in the form of a 13*13 or 15*15 or 19*19 matrix. Each carbon film key 21 represents a chess piece, which is convenient for users to play games such as gobang or go. When the light at the position of the corresponding carbon film key 21 is lit, it means that a "chess position" has completed "putting a piece". Users can also set different numbers of carbon film keys 21 according to different game types and corresponding rules. The number of the carbon film keys 21 is the same as that of the LED lights 31 and the through holes 1111.
[0032] The light-transmitting holes 211 can be arranged through the carbon film keypad 2 in different directions, preferably in the middle of the carbon film keypad 2.
[0033] In this embodiment, the lamp board 3 can also be a light strip, a lamp bar, etc. The LED lights 31 are known components such as color-changing LED lights that can emit light of different colors. The LED lights 31 can emit more than two different colors of light. The colors of the light can be white, red, blue, green, etc. For example, when playing a go game, the two sides take turns to "put a piece". The red light can represent "white pieces" and the green light can represent "black pieces". At the beginning of the game, the black pieces move first. The user presses a carbon film key 21 somewhere to send a signal to the control module. The control module will control the LED light 31 at the corresponding position of the carbon film key 21 to emit green light. The LED light 31 at the corresponding position of the carbon film key 21 pressed by the other user will emit red light. The two sides take turns to complete the game. When a "chess piece" represented by a certain carbon film key 21 is surrounded, the control module will control the LED light 31 at the corresponding position of the carbon film key 21 to turn off the light. The top of the LED light 31 can be installed at the inner bottom of the through hole 1111 or can be suspended outside the bottom of the through hole 1111.
[0034] As Figure 2 As shown, a vibration motor 5 is arranged in the disk body 1. The vibration motor 5 is connected to the control module. When the user presses the carbon film key 21, the control module can receive the signal sent by the carbon film key 21, and the control module controls the vibration motor 5 to vibrate to prompt the user that the "putting a piece" is completed, and can also be used to prompt the user that the game is over, improving the user's game experience effect.

[0036] A timing module is further provided on the PCB board 4, and the timing module is connected to the control module. When the user starts the game, the timing module starts timing and is displayed on the display screen 7 through the control module. By calculating the time of each game, the training effect is achieved.
[0037] As Figure 2 shown, a sound generating device 8 is further provided in the disk body 1. The sound generating device 8 can play various types of audio to create a game atmosphere, and can also be used as a prompt sound for successful "dropping a piece" and the end of the game. The sound generating device 8 can be an existing component such as a speaker that can generate sound, and the sound generating device 8 is connected to the control module.
[0038] The control module may further include a storage unit, and the storage unit has an information storage function and can store various game rules and "question banks" of different difficulties to realize "real person confrontation"
[0039] "human-machine confrontation", etc. The device can also be used for different board games such as "Gobang" and "Go".
[0040] As Figure 2 shown, a power supply device 9 is further provided in the disk body 1. The power supply device 9 is electrically connected to the carbon film keypad 2, the lamp board 3, the PCB board 4, the vibration motor 5, the function button 6, the display screen 7, and the sound generating device 8; the power supply device 9 can be a rechargeable battery or the like, or a battery pack equipped with dry batteries; in this embodiment, the game board can also be connected to an external power supply through a data cable for use.
