Portable, foldable miniature football stadium in suitcase form with interactive, manually movable game figures.

Abstract

Portable, foldable miniature football stadium in suitcase form, characterized in that when unfolded it forms a complete playing area with goals and is connected by hinges.

Description

Technical field:

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of games and gaming equipment, in particular portable table and board games that replicate football in miniature form. State of the art:

[0002] Board games like "Subbuteo" or permanently installed table football (foosball tables) are known examples of current technology. However, these have significant disadvantages: • Foosball tables are large, heavy, and not portable. • Portable travel games are greatly simplified and do not offer a realistic or tactical gameplay experience. • A combination of mobility, realistic design and interactive, haptic control does not yet exist. Description of the invention:

[0003] The invention relates to a gaming device in the form of a foldable suitcase which, when unfolded, forms a complete miniature football stadium.

[0004] The case consists of two halves connected by hinges, forming a flat playing surface when open. The playing surface (4) is marked as a football field and can preferably be formed by a rollable, flexible mat made of textile material, bearing the markings (5a-c). This allows for easy setup, interchangeability, and improved transportability.

[0005] Goals are attached at both ends of the playing field. A carrying handle is created after closing the case, thus enabling easy transport.

[0006] The game pieces are freely movable; those that can be moved by hand, the goalkeeper is moved using a control rod. This results in an interactive, realistic game system that requires skill, tactics, and reaction time.

[0007] The game can be expanded with attachable extensions, such as: • Grandstand modules • Coaches' and substitutes' benches • Paramedic or press elements

[0008] The extensions are designed as a plug-in system and allow for modular adaptation of the stadium. Advantages of the invention: • Portable due to its suitcase shape, therefore mobile. • Realistic gameplay with freely movable characters. • Goalkeeper: Manual operation results in an individual and realistic representation of player movement. • Modular plug-in system for expandable stadium elements. • Suitable for children aged 7 and over. • Sustainable and robust design (e.g., plastic or wood). Summary:

[0009] The invention is a portable, foldable miniature football stadium that transforms into a playing field when the case is unfolded. Player figures can be moved freely, and the goalkeeper is controlled via a guide. The system is realistic, tactical, and customizable through modular extensions. Description of the characters Fig. Figure 1 shows the case closed in transport position, consisting of the base (1) and the lid (2), which are connected to each other by a hinge (3). The case has a handle (5) and a locking mechanism (7). Fig. Figure 2 shows the partially opened case with the base (1) and the lid (2) connected by a hinge (3). The playing surface (4) with the markings (5a-c) is shown on the inside. Goals (6) are located at the ends. Fig. Figure 3 shows the fully opened miniature stadium, consisting of a base (1) and a lid (2) connected by a hinge (3). The playing surface (4) has markings (5a-c). Goals (6) are arranged at the ends. A barrier (7) is provided around the perimeter, defining the playing field. Fig. 4 shows this in Fig. Three miniature stadiums are shown with attachable extension elements. The barrier (7) has positioning openings (8) into which grandstand elements (9), fan sections (10) and coaches' benches (11) can be inserted. The directions for attaching the additional elements are indicated by arrows. Fig. Figure 5 shows a game piece in front and side view. The piece consists of a head (12), body (13) and a base (14), which ensures stability and allows it to be moved on the playing surface. Fig.Figure 6 shows a goalkeeper figure in side and top view. The figure consists of a head (12), body (13) and base (14). A control rod (15) with a handle (16) is located on the back, which allows manual movement of the goalkeeper figure.
