DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
[0012] Hereinafter, a card toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0013] 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.
[0014] First, an overview of this embodiment will be described. The card toy according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a plurality of first cards and a plurality of second cards. The first faces of the plurality of first cards are colored with different predetermined colors and include color code information related to the predetermined colors. The second faces of the plurality of first cards opposite to the first faces are colored with a first color common to the plurality of first cards and / or have a first mark attached thereto. On the other hand, the first faces of the plurality of second cards are colored with different predetermined colors and include color code information related to the predetermined colors. The second faces of the plurality of second cards opposite to the first faces are colored with a second color common to the plurality of second cards and / or have a second mark attached thereto. Here, the first color and the second color are different. Alternatively, the first mark and the second mark are different. Here, the first mark is any mark such as a pattern, design, etc. common to the first cards. The second mark is any mark such as a pattern, design, etc. common to the second cards.
[0015] In this way, according to the card toy of this embodiment, the second faces of the multiple first cards and the second faces of the multiple second cards are colored with different first and second colors, respectively. Alternatively, the first and second marks are different. Therefore, when the multiple first cards and the multiple second cards are arranged together, they can be easily arranged based on the color and / or mark of the second faces, which can improve the efficiency of the tidying up of the card toy. Hereinafter, in this embodiment, a case will be described in which the second faces of the multiple first cards 100 and the second faces of the multiple second cards 200 are colored with the first and second colors, respectively.
[0016] (multiple first cards and multiple second cards) Next, each component of the card toy will be described in detail. As described above, the card toy includes a plurality of first cards and a plurality of second cards. The total number of the first cards and the total number of the second cards may be, for example, 37, and an example in which the total number of the first cards and the total number of the second cards are 37 will be described below. FIG. 1 is a top view that shows a schematic example of a plurality of first cards used in a card toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 1, three different first cards 110, 120, and 130 included in the plurality of first cards 100 are shown.
[0017] FIG. 1 shows one side (first side) of a plurality of first cards 100. The first sides of the plurality of first cards 100 are colored with different predetermined colors. Of the three cards shown in FIG. 1, the first card 110 is colored with magenta (M100) as the predetermined color. The first card 120 is colored with cyan (C100) as the predetermined color. The first card 130 is colored with yellow (Y100) as the predetermined color. In this way, the predetermined color of each first card is different for each card. That is, the first sides of the 37 first cards in this embodiment are colored with 37 different colors. Any method may be adopted for coloring the plurality of first 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.
[0018] The surfaces (second surfaces) of the multiple first cards 100 opposite to the first surfaces are colored with a first color (e.g., white) common to the multiple first cards 100. In this embodiment, the multiple first cards 100 will be described as being colored white.
[0019] As shown in FIG. 1, the first surface of each of the first 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 first 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 first card includes color code information 112 not only on the top but also on the bottom. By writing color code information on both the top and bottom of the first card, the information related to the color of the first card can be easily identified regardless of the direction from which the first card is viewed. Similarly, the first card 120 includes "C100" as color code information 121. First card 120 similarly includes color code information 122 at the bottom of the card. First card 130 similarly includes "Y100" as color code information 131. First card 130 similarly includes color code information 132 at the bottom of the card.
[0020] FIG. 2 is a top view that shows a schematic representation of another specific example of a plurality of first cards used in a card toy 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. FIG. 2 shows an example 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 first cards 100. The first sides of the plurality of first cards 100 are colored with different predetermined colors. Of the three cards shown in FIG. 2, the first card 140 is colored with a mixture of magenta and yellow (M70Y30) as the predetermined color. The first card 150 is colored with a mixture of cyan and magenta (C70M30) as the predetermined color. The first card 160 is colored with a mixture of magenta and yellow (M30Y100) as the predetermined color.
[0021] As shown in FIG. 2, the first faces of the first cards 100 further include color code information related to a predetermined color. For example, the first card 140 includes "M70Y30" as color code information 141. In the example shown in FIG. 2, the first card includes color code information 142 at the bottom in addition to the top. The first card 150 also includes "C70M30" as color code information 151. The first card 150 also includes color code information 152 at the bottom of the card. The first card 160 also includes "M30Y100" as color code information 161. The first card 160 also includes color code information 162 at the bottom of the card. The color code information allows the user to reliably grasp the predetermined color that is colored. It is preferable that the color code information is arranged at a position where the numerical value can be seen when the user holds the card in his / her hand and opens it.
[0022] 3 is a top view showing a schematic example of a plurality of second cards used in a card toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. Generally, the first faces of the plurality of second cards are the same as the plurality of first cards 100. On the other hand, the face (second face) opposite to the first face of the second card is different from the second face of the first card. In FIG. 3, three different second cards 210, 220, and 230 included in the plurality of second cards 200 are shown.
[0023] FIG. 3 shows one side (first side) of the second cards 200. The first sides of the second cards 200 are colored with different predetermined colors. Of the three cards shown in FIG. 3, the second card 210 is colored with magenta (M100) as the predetermined color. The second card 220 is colored with cyan (C100) as the predetermined color. The second card 230 is colored with yellow (Y100) as the predetermined color. In this way, the predetermined color of each second card is different for each card. That is, the first sides of the 37 second cards in this embodiment are colored with 37 different colors. The different 37 colors of the second cards are the same colors as the 37 colors of the first cards. Any method may be adopted for coloring the second cards 200. For example, the cards 200 may be colored by expressing the predetermined color with halftone dots. Alternatively, multiple cards 200 may be colored in a spot color.
[0024] The surfaces (second surfaces) of the second cards 200 opposite to the first surfaces are colored with a second color (e.g., black) common to the second cards 200. Here, the first color is different from the second color. In this embodiment, the second cards 200 are described as being colored black.
[0025] As shown in FIG. 3, the first surface of the plurality of second cards 200 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 numbers (0-100) indicating the color tones of cyan, magenta, and yellow. In the case of a combination of two colors, the color code information is composed of a combination of these alphabets and numbers. For example, the second card 210 includes "M100" as color code information 211. The color code information makes it easy to distinguish the colors of the cards. In the example shown in FIG. 3, the second card includes color code information 212 not only at the top but also at the bottom. By writing color code information at both the top and bottom of the second card, information related to the color of the second card can be easily identified regardless of the direction from which the second card is viewed. The second card 220 similarly includes "C100" as color code information 221. The second card 220 similarly includes color code information 222 at the bottom of the card. The second card 230 similarly includes "Y100" as color code information 231. The second card 230 similarly includes color code information 232 at the bottom of the card.
[0026] FIG. 4 is a top view that shows a schematic representation of another specific example of a plurality of second cards used in a card toy according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. In FIG. 3, the predetermined color is a single color, but this is not limited thereto. In FIG. 4, an example is given in which the predetermined color is a combination of two colors. As in FIG. 3, FIG. 4 shows one side (first side) of a plurality of second cards 200. The first sides of the plurality of second cards 200 are colored with different predetermined colors. Of the three cards shown in FIG. 4, the second card 240 is colored with a mixture of magenta and yellow (M70Y30) as the predetermined color. The second card 250 is colored with a mixture of cyan and magenta (C70M30) as the predetermined color. The second card 260 is colored with a mixture of magenta and yellow (M30Y100) as the predetermined color.
[0027] As shown in FIG. 4, the first faces of the plurality of second cards 200 further include color code information related to a predetermined color. For example, the second card 240 includes "M70Y30" as color code information 241. In the example shown in FIG. 4, the second card includes color code information 242 at the bottom in addition to the top. The second card 250 also includes "C70M30" as color code information 251. The second card 250 also includes color code information 252 at the bottom of the card. The second card 260 also includes "M30Y100" as color code information 261. The second card 260 also includes color code information 262 at the bottom of the card. The color code information allows the user to reliably grasp the predetermined color that is colored. It is preferable that the color code information is arranged at a position where the numerical value can be seen when the user holds the card in his / her hand and opens it.
[0028] (How to use the card toys) By using the card toy equipped with the above-mentioned plurality of first cards 100 and the plurality of second cards 200, various games can be enjoyed. Here, a method of use for playing concentration as a basic card game will be described. FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an overview of concentration using the card toy according to this embodiment. Here, a case where concentration is played by multiple users will be described.
[0029] Step S1: First, the card play equipment is randomly placed on a table or other such playing area. Specifically, a plurality of first cards 100 and a plurality of second cards 200 are placed on the playing area with their second faces facing up. Here, the plurality of first cards 100 and the plurality of second cards 200 may be placed on the playing area separately, or they may all be mixed together and placed on the playing area randomly. Each user takes a seat around the playing area such as a table.
[0030] Step S2: Next, a user who will play first is determined. Any method may be used to determine the user who will play first. For example, the user who will play first may be determined by rock-paper-scissors or the like.
[0031] Step S3: The user playing turns over one of the multiple first cards 100 and one of the multiple second cards 200. Here, the multiple first cards 100 and the multiple second cards 200 are placed in the playing area with their second sides facing up. In addition, the second sides of the multiple first cards 100 and the second sides of the multiple second cards 200 are colored white and black, respectively. Therefore, in this embodiment, the user turns over one card with a white second side and one card with a black second side.
[0032] Step S4: It is determined whether the two turned over cards are cards of the same color. To determine whether the cards are of the same color, color code information included in the first faces of the first card 100 and the second card 200 may be used. If they are of the same color, the process proceeds to step S5. If they are not of the same color, the process proceeds to step S6.
[0033] Step S5: If the two turned over cards are of the same color, the user takes the pair of the two turned over cards.
[0034] Step S6: If the two cards turned over are not cards of the same color, the user returns the two cards turned over to their original state. That is, each card is turned over and placed on the table with the second side facing up. After that, the user who plays takes turns. For example, the users who play may take turns in a clockwise order starting from the first user who plays.
[0035] Step S7: Following step S5, it is determined whether or not there are any cards remaining on the table. If there are any cards remaining, the process returns to step S3, and the user continues to turn over one of the multiple first cards 100 and one of the multiple second cards 200. If there are no cards remaining on the table, the game ends. The user who has acquired the most cards at the end of the game wins the game.
[0036] After the game is over, each user has a pair of the first card 100 and the second card 200, so that a plurality of the first cards 100 and a plurality of the second cards 200 are mixed together. Here, as described above, the second faces of the plurality of the first cards and the second faces of the plurality of the second cards are colored with the first color and the second color, respectively. Therefore, when the plurality of the first cards and the plurality of the second cards are arranged together, they can be easily arranged based on the color of the second face, so that the work of tidying up the card toy can be made more efficient. In addition, according to this embodiment, the first faces of the plurality of the first cards 100 and the plurality of the second cards 200 are colored with different predetermined colors, so that a sense of color can be cultivated. Cultivating a sense of color also promotes activation of brain function, and is expected to be effective in preventing dementia.
[0037] 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.
[0038] For example, the design of the color code information in the plurality of first cards 100 and the plurality of second cards 200 is not limited to those shown in Figs. 1 to 4. Fig. 6 shows a modified design of the color code information of the first card 100. In the color code information 121' and color code information 122' shown in Fig. 6, alphabets and numbers related to the color code information are shown in two separate lines. Even in this case, the color code information is arranged in a position where the numbers are visible when the user holds and spreads the card in his / her hand. Note that although the first card 100 has been described here, the same modified design can be applied to the second card 200.
[0039] For example, in the present embodiment, the first color is white and the second color is black, but this is not limited to this. The first color and the second color may be any colors as long as they are different colors.
[0040] The second faces of the first cards 100 may include any mark (first mark) such as a pattern or design common to the first cards 100. Similarly, the second faces of the second cards 200 may include any mark (second mark) such as a pattern or design common to the second cards 200. The second mark is preferably a mark different from the first mark. By making the first mark and the second mark different, it becomes easier to distinguish the first card 100 from the second card 200, and the work of putting away the card play equipment can be made more efficient. In addition, when the second faces of the first cards 100 and the second faces of the second cards 200 are respectively affixed with the first mark and the second mark, the second faces of the first cards 100 and the second faces of the second cards 200 may or may not be colored with different colors. In other words, the second faces of the plurality of first cards 100 may be colored with a first color and / or bear a first insignia common to the plurality of first cards 100. Similarly, the second faces of the plurality of second cards 200 may be colored with a second color and / or bear a second insignia common to the plurality of second cards 200.
[0041] The sides of the first cards 100 may include at least one of a mark and a shape that distinguishes them from the second cards 200. Such a mark or shape makes it easier to distinguish between the first cards 100 and the second cards 200, and can make cleaning up the card play equipment more efficient.
[0042] The first cards 100 may have a characteristic that distinguishes them from the second cards 200. For example, the characteristic may be a magnetic characteristic. This characteristic makes it easier to distinguish between the first cards 100 and the second cards 200, and can streamline the work of putting away the card play equipment.
[0043] In the present embodiment, the card toy is composed of a plurality of first cards 100 and a plurality of second cards 200, but is not limited thereto. The card toy may further include a plurality of third cards. In this case, the first faces of the plurality of third cards are the same as the plurality of first cards 100 and the plurality of second cards 200. On the other hand, the face (second face) opposite to the first face of the third card is different from the second face of the first card and the second face of the second card. In other words, the card toy may include two or more sets of cards. Even in this case, the color of the second face of the cards in each set is different from the cards in the other sets. Therefore, when the cards in each set are arranged together, they can be arranged easily based on the color of the second face, which can make the tidying up of the card toy more efficient.
