Senet Go Board

Abstract

To solve the problem that a player who plays Senet and go need to prepare both boards but may lose an opportunity to play the other game when the player puts away one of the games.SOLUTION: By matching the size of a grid in Senet to that of a standard checkerboard and by standardizing also a margin of a side between the checkerboard and itself, a game can be played on the same board if there are Go stones. The Senet is a game like Sugoroku played by two players, and is played by placing a piece for distinguishing the two in a grid, while Go is a positioning game in which two players compete each other, and is played by placing a piece (called "stone" in Go) for distinguishing the two on an intersection point of lines. A piece is placed on an intersection point of lines in Go while it is placed in a grid in Senet, such that corner stones project from a game board, and a margin is provided outside a line in an actual checkerboard. A similar method is used in Senet Go. The game board is in a square state in both of them, but a play who learns Go may encounter new discoveries by playing using irregular 4×11 paths.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to a Senet Go board. [Background technology]

[0002] There are no playable game boards for either Senet or Go. If you put one game aside to play the other, you miss out on the opportunity to play the other. DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] However, according to the above techniques, there is no standard size for the game board and pieces of Senet, and Senet is a game in which pieces are placed in squares, while Go is a game in which stones are placed at the intersections of lines, so each type of game required its own game board and pieces. Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a combination of a Senet board and a Go board. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the first invention is a Senet Go board characterized by making the size of the squares the same as those on a standard Go board. [Effects of the Invention]

[0005] According to the first invention, when playing Senet using the same pieces, the pieces are placed inside the squares, and when playing Go, they are placed on the intersections of the squares, making it possible to play both games in a single version. This makes it possible to play games in which pieces are placed inside squares and games in which pieces are placed on the intersections of the squares' borders using the same pieces. While there is no direct connection between Senet, which originated in ancient Egypt, and Go, which originated in ancient China, there must have been a turning point somewhere in the history of games when pieces were placed from inside squares on the intersections of the lines surrounding the squares, and there is hope that this will allow players to relive that moment. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0006] One embodiment of the present invention is shown in FIG. All Senet Go boards are made of wood.

[0007] "Effects of the embodiment" According to this embodiment, both Senet and Go can be played.

[0008] Other Embodiments In the embodiment of FIG. 1, the resulting Go board is based on a 3×10 square Senet board and is made of wood, but in other embodiments, it may have a different number of squares. The board is not limited to wood and may be made of other materials. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

Claims

[Claim 1] This board game equipment set includes a 3x10 square board on which both Senet and Go can be played and Go stones for playing Go.
