Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a card system. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, playing cards and other card toys have been used in various games, etc. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a card toy that allows children to naturally improve their abilities (memory, color discrimination, concept of numbers, ability to grasp shapes, reflexes, motor skills, predictive ability, reasoning ability, etc.) by having fun playing the game. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 3768276 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] Here, typical playing cards are marked with four suits, spades, hearts, clubs, and diamonds, and each suit consists of 13 cards. A typical game using playing cards is Sevens. Sevens is a game in which cards of the same suit and adjacent numbers, centering on the number 7, are arranged, and it has a certain degree of popularity. However, in Sevens, the cards to be arranged are limited to one or two cards of the same suit and adjacent numbers, so there is a risk that the game content will become monotonous. This is thought to be due to the fact that the types of playing cards are limited to four suits and the number of colors of the cards is limited to a few colors, and no consideration has been given to increasing the number of colors of the cards. As such, there is room for improvement in card systems including cards used in card games in terms of entertainment value.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Hereinafter, a card system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0014] In each drawing, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. In the description of this embodiment, the description of the same or corresponding parts will be omitted or simplified as appropriate.

[0015] First, an overview of this embodiment will be described. A card system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of cards and a play sheet on which the plurality of cards are arranged. The first sides of the plurality of cards are colored with different predetermined colors and include color code information related to the predetermined colors. The play sheet includes a color map and a plurality of squares in which the plurality of cards arranged in the color map are arranged, respectively. The plurality of squares are arranged at positions on the color map corresponding to the predetermined colors of the first sides of the cards arranged in the squares. Each square includes color code information related to the predetermined color of the card arranged in the square. The number of other squares adjacent to each square is 3 to 6.

[0016] Thus, according to the card system of this embodiment, the first faces of the multiple cards are colored with different predetermined colors. Also, the play sheet on which the multiple cards are arranged includes multiple squares, and the number of other squares adjacent to each square is 3 to 6. This improves the interest of the card system in that the number of colors of the cards increases by the number of cards, and the number of cards in adjacent relationships increases by the number of other squares adjacent to each square.

[0017] (Multiple cards) Next, each component of the card system will be described in detail. As described above, the card system includes a plurality of cards. The total number of cards may be, for example, 37, and an example in which the total number of cards is 37 will be described below. FIG. 1 is a top view that diagrammatically illustrates a specific example of a plurality of cards used in the card system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 1, three different cards 110, 120, and 130 included in the plurality of cards 100 are shown.

[0018] FIG. 1 shows one side (first side) of a plurality of cards 100. The first sides of the plurality of cards 100 are colored with different predetermined colors. Of the three cards shown in FIG. 1, the card 110 is colored with magenta (M100) as the predetermined color. The card 120 is colored with cyan (C100) as the predetermined color. The card 130 is colored with yellow (Y100) as the predetermined color. In this way, the predetermined color of each card is different for each card. That is, the first sides of the 37 cards in this embodiment are colored with 37 different colors. Any method may be adopted for coloring the plurality of cards 100. For example, the plurality of cards 100 may be colored by expressing the predetermined color with halftone dots. Alternatively, the plurality of cards 100 may be colored with a special color.

[0019] The surfaces (second surfaces) of the multiple cards 100 opposite to the first surfaces are colored in a color (e.g., white) common to the multiple cards 100. The second surfaces may include any mark such as a pattern or design common to the multiple cards 100.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 1, the first surface of each of the cards 100 further includes color code information related to a predetermined color. The color code information is composed of alphabets (C, M, or Y) representing cyan, magenta, and yellow, and numerical values ​​(0-100) indicating the color tones of cyan, magenta, and yellow. A color tone numerical value of 0 corresponds to white, and a color tone numerical value of 100 corresponds to each primary color. In the case of a combination of two colors, the color code information is composed of a combination of these alphabets and numerical values. For example, the card 110 includes "M100" as color code information 111. The color code information makes it easy to distinguish the colors of the cards. In the example shown in FIG. 1, the card includes color code information 112 at the bottom in addition to the top. By writing color code information at both the top and bottom of the card, the information related to the color of the card can be easily identified regardless of the direction from which the card is viewed. Similarly, the card 120 includes "C100" as color code information 121. Similarly, the card 120 includes color code information 122 at the bottom of the card. Card 130 similarly includes "Y100" as color code information 131. Card 130 similarly includes color code information 132 at the bottom of the card.

[0021] FIG. 2 is a top view that shows a schematic representation of another specific example of a plurality of cards used in a card system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 1, the predetermined color is only a single color, but this is not limited thereto. In FIG. 2, an example is given in which the predetermined color is a combination of two colors. As in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 shows one side (first side) of a plurality of cards 100. The first sides of the plurality of cards 100 are colored with different predetermined colors. Of the three cards shown in FIG. 2, the card 140 is colored with a mixture of magenta and yellow (M70Y30) as the predetermined color. The card 150 is colored with a mixture of cyan and magenta (C70M30) as the predetermined color. The card 160 is colored with a mixture of magenta and yellow (M30Y100) as the predetermined color.

[0022] As shown in FIG. 2, the first faces of the cards 100 further include color code information relating to a predetermined color. For example, card 140 includes "M70Y30" as color code information 141. In the example shown in FIG. 2, in addition to the upper part of the card, the lower part also includes color code information 142. Card 150 similarly includes "C70M30" as color code information 151. Card 150 similarly includes color code information 152 at the lower part of the card. Card 160 similarly includes "M30Y100" as color code information 161. Card 160 similarly includes color code information 162 at the lower part of the card. The color code information allows the user to reliably grasp the predetermined color that is used.

[0023] Here, the multiple cards 100 are placed in a predetermined location on a play sheet 200, which will be described later. Since the placement locations are determined by color, misidentification of the placement locations can be prevented by including color code information on the multiple cards 100. The color code information is placed in a location where the numbers are visible when the user holds and spreads the cards in their hands.

[0024] (Play Sheet) The card system includes a play sheet 200 on which the plurality of cards 100 are arranged. FIG. 3 is a top view that shows a schematic example of a play sheet 200 used in the card system according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The play sheet 200 includes a color map 300. The shape of the color map 300 is, for example, a hexagon as shown in FIG. 3, but is not limited thereto. For example, the color map 300 may be a polygon other than a hexagon, or may be a circle. In this embodiment, a case where the shape of the color map 300 is a hexagon will be described. The color map 300 is a map in which colors are regularly arranged according to a predetermined rule. For example, the color map 300 is a color map related to CMY. In the color map related to CMY, three vertices of a hexagon are colored with the three primary colors C100, M100, and Y100. In FIG. 3, a vertex 301, a vertex 302, and a vertex 303 of the color map 300 are colored with C100, M100, and Y100, respectively. The color map for CMY is colored with a mixture of CMY colors to create a gradation based on these three vertices.

[0025] The playsheet 200 includes a number of squares 401-437 in which a number of cards are placed, which are provided within a color map 300. The number of squares 401-437 are provided at positions on the color map corresponding to the predetermined color of the first face of the card to be placed in the square. Each square 401-437 includes color code information related to the predetermined color of the card to be placed in the square. The correspondence between each square in FIG. 3 and the color code information is as follows:

[0026] Mass 401: C100 Square 402: C100Y30 Mass 403: C100Y70 Square 404: C100Y100 Mass 405: C100M30 Mass 406: C70 Mass 407: C70Y30 Mass 408: C70Y70 Mass 409: C70Y100 Mass 410: C100M70 Mass 411: C100M30 Mass 412: C30 Mass 413: C30Y30 Mass 414: C30Y70 Mass 415: C30Y100 Square 416: C100M100 Mass 417: C100M70 Mass 418: C30M30 Mass 419:0 Mass 420: Y30 Mass 421: Y70 Square 422: Y100 Mass 423: C70M100 Mass 424: C70M100 Mass 425: M30 Mass 426: M30Y30 Mass 427: M30Y70 Mass 428: M30Y100 Mass 429: C30M100 Mass 430: M70 Mass 431: M70Y30 Mass 432: M70Y70 Mass 433: M70Y100 Mass 434: M100 Mass 435: M100Y30 Mass 436: M100Y70 Mass 437: M100Y100

[0027] By including the color code information in the squares 401-437 of the playsheet 200, mistakes in the placement of each of the multiple cards 100 can be prevented.

[0028] The play sheet 200 also includes links 501-590. The links 501-590 are line segments connecting two adjacent cells, and represent the adjacent relationship between the cells. For example, the link 501 represents the adjacent relationship between the cells 401 and 402. The links 501-590 allow the user to easily understand the adjacent cells of a certain cell. For example, the links 501, 504, and 505 extend from the cell 401. These links 501, 504, and 505 are also connected to the cells 402, 405, and 406, respectively. This shows that the cell 401 is adjacent to three cells, the cells 402, 405, and 406. Similarly, for example, the links 519, 520, 527, 528, 535, and 536 extend from the cell 412. Furthermore, these links 519, 520, 527, 528, 535, and 536 are respectively connected to the squares 406, 407, 411, 413, 418, and 419. This shows that the square 412 is adjacent to six squares, namely the squares 406, 407, 411, 413, 418, and 419. As shown in FIG. 3, the number of other squares adjacent to each square is 3 to 6.

[0029] As shown in FIG. 3, there is a predetermined color difference between the color codes of adjacent squares on the play sheet 200. Specifically, there is a color difference of 30 or 40 between the color codes of adjacent squares on the play sheet 200. In other words, cards with a predetermined color difference are placed in adjacent squares on the play sheet 200. For example, square 401 is C100, and square 402 adjacent to square 401 is C100Y30. Therefore, cards with a color difference of 30 are placed in squares 401 and 402, respectively. For example, square 402 is C100Y30, and square 403 adjacent to square 402 is C100Y70. Therefore, cards with a color difference of 40 are placed in squares 402 and 403, respectively. In this way, by having a predetermined color difference between cards placed adjacent to each other, it is possible to improve the distinguishability from other cards. In this embodiment, the color difference is set to 30 or 40, but this is not limited to this, and the color difference between cards placed in adjacent squares may be other than 30 or 40.

[0030] (How to use the card system) By using the card system equipped with the above-mentioned multiple cards 100 and play sheet 200, various games can be enjoyed. Here, a method of use for playing a color sorting game (hereinafter also referred to as "shikinarabe") as a basic card game will be described. Figure 4 is a flowchart showing an overview of Shikinarabe.

[0031] Step S1: First, after shuffling a number of cards 100, cards are distributed to each user. For example, the number of users is four, but is not limited to this. The number of users may be less than four, or may be five or more. In this embodiment, a case where the number of users is four will be described. When there are four users, the total number of cards is 37 in this embodiment, so that three users have nine cards in their hand and the remaining user has ten cards in their hand. Each user takes a seat around the play sheet 200.

[0032] Step S2: Next, a user who has three predetermined cards (hereinafter referred to as the first card, the second card, and the third card) among the multiple cards places the cards in the squares of the play sheet 200. For example, the first card is a card whose color code information is M100. The first card is placed in the square 434. For example, the second card is a card whose color code information is C100. The second card is placed in the square 401. For example, the third card is a card whose color code information is Y100. The third card is placed in the square 422. As shown in the play sheet 200 of FIG. 3, the squares in which the first card, the second card, and the third card are placed may include a mark of a predetermined shape. In the play sheet 200 of FIG. 3, the mark of the predetermined shape is a star-shaped mark. The mark of the predetermined shape allows the user to easily grasp the predetermined cards (the first card, the second card, and the third card) to be placed first and the position on the play sheet 200 to place them.

[0033] Step S3: Starting from the user who placed the first card, each user places a card that can be placed from their hand in a clockwise order. The cards that can be placed are cards that can be placed in the squares adjacent to the cards that have already been placed on the play sheet 200. In step S2, since the first card, the second card, and the third card are placed in the squares 422, 401, and 434, respectively, the cards that can be placed are cards that can be placed in the squares adjacent to these. Specifically, the cards that can be placed in a total of nine squares, namely the three squares 402, 405, and 406 adjacent to the square 401, the three squares 415, 421, and 428 adjacent to the square 422, and the three squares 429, 430, and 435 adjacent to the square 434, are cards that can be placed in this state.

[0034] For example, in this state, if the user who placed the first card places a card with color code information M70 in square 430, the next user will be able to place cards in the squares adjacent to square 430, in addition to the cards that can be placed above. Specifically, cards will be able to be placed in squares 424, 425, and 431 that are adjacent to square 430.

[0035] Step S4: If there are no cards in the hand that can be placed, the user may pass. A limit may be set on the number of passes, for example, up to two. In this case, if the user passes three times, he or she will be dropped from the game. When dropping out of the game, the user places all of the cards in the hand into the corresponding squares on the play sheet 200.

[0036] Cards are placed on the play sheet 200 in order from the hand, and the first user to use up all cards wins the game. The ranking of winners may be determined, and in this case, the ranking may be determined from 1st to 4th place in order from the user who used up all cards. FIG. 5 shows the state after the game is over, where all of the multiple cards 100 are placed in the corresponding squares on the play sheet 200.

[0037] Thus, according to the card system of this embodiment, the first faces of the multiple cards are colored with different predetermined colors. Also, the play sheet on which the multiple cards are arranged includes multiple squares, and the number of other squares adjacent to each square is 3 to 6. This improves the interest of the card system in that the number of colors of the cards increases by the number of cards, and the number of cards in adjacent relationships increases by the number of other squares adjacent to each square. In particular, when playing Shikinarabe, the fun of placing cards in the empty squares, the beauty when completed, and the sense of accomplishment are not found in conventional games including Seven-Raise, and the interest of the card system can be improved. Also, according to the card system of this embodiment, the first faces of the multiple cards are colored with different predetermined colors, so that color sense can be cultivated. Cultivating color sense also promotes activation of brain function, and can be expected to be effective in preventing dementia.

[0038] (Puzzle Game) In the above-mentioned Shikinarabe, the card system is used by multiple users, but the games that can be played are not limited to this. For example, the card system may be used by one user. For example, the card system can be enjoyed as a puzzle game. For example, the user may place each corresponding card in each square of the play sheet 200. In this case, as in the above, the user can enjoy the fun of placing cards in the empty squares, the beauty of the completed game, and a sense of accomplishment. Also, as in the above, the user can develop a sense of color when the card system is used in a puzzle game. Developing a sense of color also promotes activation of brain function, and is expected to be effective in preventing dementia.

[0039] Although the present disclosure has been described based on the drawings and embodiments, it should be noted that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications and corrections based on the present disclosure. Therefore, it should be noted that these modifications and corrections are included in the scope of the present disclosure. For example, the functions included in each means or step can be rearranged so as not to be logically inconsistent, and multiple means or steps can be combined or divided into one.

[0040] For example, the design of the color code information on the multiple cards 100 is not limited to that shown in Fig. 1 or 2. Fig. 6 shows a modified example of the design of the color code information. In the color code information 121' and color code information 122' shown in Fig. 6, the alphabet and numbers related to the color code information are shown in two separate lines. Even in this case, the color code information is placed in a position where the numbers are visible when the user holds and unfolds the cards in their hands.

[0041] For example, the color map and the layout of the squares included in the play sheet are not limited to those shown in Fig. 3, and any color map and layout of the squares can be adopted. Fig. 7 shows a top view of a play sheet 210 according to a modified example. Even with a card system equipped with the play sheet 210 shown in Fig. 7 and a plurality of cards 100, it is possible to play in the same manner as described above, and the ingenuity of the card system can be improved.

[0042] Fig. 8 shows a top view of a play sheet 220 according to another modified example. The play sheet 220 differs from the play sheet 200 of Fig. 3 and the play sheet 210 of Fig. 7 in that the number of squares is 61. When using the play sheet 220, the number of the multiple cards 100 is also 61. Even with the card system equipped with the play sheet 220 and multiple cards 100 shown in Fig. 8, it is possible to play in the same manner as described above, and the ingenuity of the card system can be improved.

[0043] Also, for example, when playing Shiki Narabe, game media such as items may be placed between the squares of the play sheet 200. In other words, game media may be placed at the positions of links 501-509 on the play sheet 200. In this case, when a user places cards so that the squares connected to the links are filled, the user may obtain the game media. The game media may be associated with predetermined points or the like, and the ranking in the game may be determined based on the points or the like. In this way, the fun of the card system can be further improved. [Explanation of symbols]
