Description

Soccer board game using magnets

[0001] The present invention relates to a board game for enjoying soccer, and more specifically, to a soccer board game using magnets in which a ball and a figure are placed on a board frame, and the figure is controlled by the interaction between a first magnet of a stick handle and a second magnet of the figure to put the ball into the opponent's goal, and the figure can freely move on the ground through the stick handle.

[0002] Generally, soccer is a game played with 11 players per team facing each other and trying to score the ball into the opponent's goal. Futsal, which is played with fewer players and a smaller team size, is not much different in how the game is played.

[0003] Soccer is a sport enjoyed by both men and women, and even if you can't play in person, you can still cheer on your team by watching matches featuring famous players.

[0004] In this way, board games of various forms are being released to make it easier to enjoy soccer.

[0005] Looking at conventional soccer board games, the indoor mini soccer table disclosed in Patent Publication No. 10-2004-0005196 features a table-mounted handle that allows players to push and pull to move the defensive and offensive lines to either side, and rotate the handle to pass or shoot the ball. The aforementioned indoor mini soccer table is a typical board game known as table soccer.

[0006] The above-mentioned indoor mini soccer field has a soccer field on it, and the game is played by controlling soccer players who are fixed to multiple poles and trying to pass the soccer ball into the opponent's goal.

[0007] Also, in the case of other types of traditional soccer board games, the soccer players are fixed to the ground, but the game progresses by passing or shooting the soccer ball in the target direction by bouncing the soccer players who are fixed to the ground by springs.

[0008] In traditional soccer board games, soccer players are fixed to sticks or springs, and the ball can only be passed or shot when it comes to the soccer player, which has the disadvantage of making more active play or tactics impossible and reducing the fun.

[0009] While real-life soccer maximizes the fun of the game by having players actively run around the field, catch the soccer ball, and make tactical moves such as tackling, attacking, and defending, soccer implemented as a board game is completely unable to make such tactical moves, which reduces the fun and easily makes it boring.

[0010] Therefore, it is necessary to develop a soccer board game that can overcome the limitations of conventional soccer board games, such as the limited movement of soccer players, and allow for more active play, allowing for tactical play of tackles, offense, and defense, thereby doubling the fun and excitement.

[0013] (Patent Document 1) KR 10-2004-0005196 (A) 2004.01.16.

[0014] (Patent Document 2) KR 10-2022-0008366 (A) 2022.01.20.

[0015] In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a soccer board game using magnets in which a ball and a figure are placed on a board frame, and the figure is controlled by the interaction between the first magnet of the stick handle and the second magnet of the figure to put the ball into the opponent's goal, and the figure can freely move on the ground and dribble the ball through the stick handle.

[0016] Another object of the present invention is to provide a soccer board game using magnets that can have the excitement of an actual soccer game, as the player can control the stick handle to move the player figure to a desired location and at a desired speed, and the movement of the figure causes a direct collision with an opponent figure, thereby feeling an impact on the player's hand similar to a tackle in an actual soccer game, and the figure can fall over due to the collision.

[0017] Another object of the present invention is to provide a soccer board game using magnets, in which a player can move multiple players at once by adjusting a stick handle, and a player who has fallen due to a collision can be raised by the magnetic force of the stick handle rather than manually, thereby allowing the game to continue without interruption even if a player falls.

[0018] Another object of the present invention is to provide a soccer board game using magnets that can be played with excitement and agility by having lower corner supports protruding upwardly from each corner of a lower plate placed on a board frame, and upper corner supports protruding downwardly from the lower corners of an upper plate having a soccer field expressed on the upper surface, and the lower corner supports and upper corner supports contact each other so that the corners of the upper plate are high and the center where the center circle is located is low, so that the ball moves unpredictably along a slope.

[0019] Another object of the present invention is to provide a soccer board game using magnets in which the lower plate is fixed under the lower fixing member of the goal frame and the upper plate is fixed so as to be sandwiched between the lower fixing member and the upper fixing member, thereby securing a space between the upper plate and the lower plate so that the stick handle can move freely without friction, and preventing the upper plate or the lower plate from coming off the board frame even during intense play.

[0020] Another object of the present invention is to provide a soccer board game using magnets that can form a downward slope from the goal line of the goal frame toward the player, so that when a goal is scored, the ball rolls toward the player along the slope and the ball can be retrieved.

[0021] Another object of the present invention is to provide a soccer board game using magnets in which the height of the front side of the goal frame is formed higher than that of the rear side so that a ball that has crossed the goal line does not get caught in the front side, while the rear side, which is lower than the front side, limits the range of vertical movement of the stick handle passing through the goal frame so that the ball does not bounce upward, enabling smooth play.

[0022] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention comprises: a board frame (100) having a game space provided therein; a goal frame (400) disposed on each side of the board frame (100); a lower plate (200) disposed on the upper portion of a base plate (110), which is the bottom surface of the board frame (100), and having lower corner supports (210) protruding upwardly formed at the corner portion; an upper plate (300) disposed on the upper portion of the lower plate (200), having a soccer field displayed on the upper surface thereof, and being formed to be inclined upward toward the corner portion by contacting the lower corner supports (210); and a stick handle (10) inserted into the lower portion of the upper plate (300) and moving, and controlling the position of a figure (20) through a magnetic force between a first magnet (11) provided therein and a second magnet (21) of a figure (20) placed on the upper plate (300).

[0023] In addition, the present invention includes a lower fixing member (420) that protrudes toward the front side of the goal frame (400) or board frame (100) and into which the lower plate (200) is fitted in a gap spaced apart from the upper surface of the base plate (110); and an upper fixing member (410) that protrudes toward the front side of the goal frame (400) or board frame (100) and into which the upper plate (300) is fitted in a gap spaced apart from the lower fixing member (420).

[0024] In addition, the upper plate (300) supported by the lower fixing member (420) of the present invention is formed to slope upward from the center toward the goal frame (400).

[0025] In addition, the goal frame (400) of the present invention includes a bottom slope (430) that slopes downward from the front to the rear, and the highest point on the bottom slope (430) is lower than the edge of the upper plate (300).

[0026] In addition, the lower end of the front side (440) that crosses horizontally on the front side of the goal frame (400) of the present invention is positioned higher than the lower end of the rear side (45) that crosses horizontally on the rear side of the goal frame (400).

[0027] In addition, the upper plate (300) of the present invention is formed with an upper corner support (311) that protrudes downward from the upper portion of the point where the lower corner support (210) is placed, and the stick handle (10) is inserted into the spaced space between the lower plate (200) and the upper plate (300).

[0028] In addition, the upper plate (300) of the present invention includes a support plate (310) having an upper corner support (311) formed on a lower surface and an upper protrusion (312) protruding on an upper surface; and a ground plate (320) which is a plate that is attached to the center of the upper surface of the support plate (310) but has an edge separated and has a soccer field ground displayed on the upper surface.

[0029] In addition, when the edge of the stick handle (10) of the present invention is in contact with the side wall of the board frame (100), the distance between the first magnet (11) and the side wall is smaller than the diameter of the ball (1).

[0030] In addition, the first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10) of the present invention has a plurality of magnets spaced apart from each other.

[0031] Additionally, a center hole (330) for fixing a ball (1) is formed at the center of the upper plate (300) of the present invention.

[0032] The soccer board game using magnets according to the present invention is played by placing a ball and a figure on a board frame, controlling the figure through the interaction between the first magnet of the stick handle and the second magnet of the figure to put the ball into the opponent's goal, and has the effect of allowing the figure to freely move on the ground and dribble the ball through the stick handle.

[0033] In addition, the present invention allows the player to control the stick handle to move the player figure to a desired location and at a desired speed, and the movement of the figure causes a direct collision with the opponent figure, thereby causing an impact to be felt in the player's hand similar to a tackle in an actual soccer game, and the figure may fall over due to the collision, so that it has the effect of providing the excitement of an actual soccer game.

[0034] In addition, the present invention has the effect of enabling the player to move multiple players at once by adjusting the stick handle, and by allowing a player who has fallen due to a collision to get up by the magnetic force of the stick handle rather than manually, so that the game can proceed continuously without interruption even if the player falls.

[0035] In addition, the present invention has a lower corner support protruding upwardly from each corner of a lower plate placed on a board frame, and an upper corner support protruding downwardly from a lower corner of an upper plate having a soccer field expressed on the upper surface, and the lower corner support and the upper corner support are in contact so that the corner of the upper plate is high and the center where the center circle is located is low, so that the ball moves unpredictably along a slope, thereby providing an effect of being able to play with excitement and quickness in an interesting way.

[0036] In addition, the present invention has the effect of securing a space between the upper plate and the lower plate so that the stick handle can move freely without friction by fixing the lower plate under the lower fixing member of the goal frame and fixing the upper plate so that it is inserted between the lower fixing member and the upper fixing member, thereby preventing the upper plate or the lower plate from coming off from the board frame even during intense play.

[0037] In addition, the present invention has the effect of forming a downward slope from the goal line of the goal frame toward the player, so that when a goal is scored, the ball rolls toward the player along the slope and can be retrieved.

[0038] In addition, the present invention has the effect of preventing a ball that has crossed the goal line from getting caught in the front side by forming the front side of the goal frame higher than the rear side, while the rear side, which is lower than the front side, limits the range of vertical movement of the stick handle passing through the goal frame, thereby preventing the ball from bouncing upwards, enabling smooth play.

[0049] Hereinafter, a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings so that a person having ordinary knowledge in the field can easily implement the present invention.

[0050] The soccer board game using magnets according to the present invention is a game that allows players to enjoy soccer in a more lively and exciting way in the form of a board game.

[0051] A board frame (100) with a game space provided inside;

[0052] Goal frames (400) placed on each side of the above board frame (100);

[0053] A lower plate (200) is placed on the upper part of the base plate (110), which is the bottom surface of the above board frame (100), and has a lower corner support (210) protruding upward formed at the corner portion;

[0054] An upper plate (300) positioned on the upper portion of the lower plate (200), having a soccer field ground displayed on the upper surface, and formed to be inclined upward toward the corner portion by contacting the lower corner support (210); and

[0055] It includes a stick handle (10) that is inserted into the lower part of the upper plate (300) and moved, and controls the position of the figure (20) through the magnetic force between the first magnet (11) provided inside and the second magnet (21) of the figure (20) placed on the upper plate (300).

[0056] The present invention is an invention that models a soccer game and allows it to be enjoyed as a board game. The board game of the present invention is placed on a flat surface such as a table, and a number of game participants (hereinafter referred to as "players") control a figure (20) of the board game to score by putting a ball (1) into the opponent's goal. In this case, the figure (20) refers to a character modeled after a soccer player and is an object that passes and shoots the ball (1). In one embodiment of the present invention, the figure (20) reflects the shape of a soccer player, but may also have various shapes such as the shape of another character or object.

[0057] The above figure (20) may be provided in one or more units. In one embodiment of the present invention, three figures (20) are placed on the board game for each team, and each player scores by manipulating the figure (20) to put the ball (1) into the opponent's goal. In another embodiment, three or more figures (20) are placed on the board game, and the size of the board game is appropriate for manipulating the figures (20) in accordance with the number of figures (20).

[0058] The player uses the stick handle (10) to control the figure (20). A second magnet (21) is provided at the bottom of the figure (20), and a first magnet (11) is provided on the stick handle (10). The first magnets (11) of the stick handle (10) are provided in plurality at a distance apart from each other. As the stick handle (10) moves, the figure (20) moves along the first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10), and the player can control the figure (20) to a desired position. The first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) do not directly contact each other, and the second magnet (21) of the figure (20) is attracted to the first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10) by a magnetic force with the upper plate (300) between them, so that the first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) may be separated. When the first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) are separated, the player cannot control the corresponding figure (20), so by moving the stick handle (10) back and forth so that the first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) can interact magnetically with each other, unexpected play is possible and unpredictable conditions are created, thereby doubling the fun of the game.

[0059] In addition, since the first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) do not directly contact each other but generate a magnetic force between them through the upper plate (300), the figure (20) provided with the second magnet (21) can pivot according to the movement of the stick handle (10). The first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) are not magnetically coupled to fix the movement, but rather, by the intense manipulation of the stick handle (10), the second magnet (21) of the figure (20) is attracted to the first magnet (11) with a slight delay, resulting in a pivoting motion according to the magnetic force. In this process, more lively movements are possible. Therefore, whereas in conventional soccer tables, soccer players are fixed to a stick or spring and exhibit monotonous movements, the figure (20) of the present invention can implement free movement and even pivoting motion within the board game, making it a more advanced invention.

[0060] If the stick handle (10) is manipulated violently, the second magnet (21) and the first magnet (11) are separated, so the figure (20) becomes uncontrollable, and more delicate and precise control is required. Therefore, skills and abilities may be equipped differently depending on the proficiency level of the game, and various play patterns may occur.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present invention, one stick handle (10) is provided for each team, and three first magnets (11) are provided on one stick handle (10), so that a player can move multiple figures (30) at once by adjusting the stick handle (10). Three figures (20) are provided for each team, and three first magnets (11) are provided on one stick handle (10) to control the three figures (20). However, in another embodiment, when the size of the board game is formed sufficiently large, two stick handles (10) can be provided so that a player can control the stick handles (10) with both hands, and each stick handle (10) is provided with one and two first magnets (11), respectively, so that the figures (20) can be controlled with different movements. The number of figures (20), stick handles (10) and first magnets (11) provided on the stick handles (10) can be appropriately changed according to the size of the board game, and various play directions such as tactics and strategies can be produced accordingly.

[0062] Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a soccer board game of the present invention. Goal frames (400) are provided on each side of a board frame (100), and figures (20) assigned to each team are placed on the upper part of an upper plate (300) expressing the ground of a soccer field. A stick handle (10) for controlling the figure (20) is provided to each player, and a ball (1) for passing or shooting through the figure (20) is placed.

[0063] The board frame (100) is placed on a level, flat surface, and a game space for playing a board game is provided. The inside of the board frame (100) is formed as a concave shape so that a figure (20) and a ball (1) are placed thereon, and a side wall is formed on the edge to prevent the figure (20) and the ball (1) from leaving the limited game space. The bottom surface of the game space provided on the board frame (100) is referred to as a base plate (110). The base plate (110) is formed as a flat shape, and a lower plate (200) and an upper plate (300) are placed on top of the base plate (110), and a figure (20) and a ball (1) are placed on top of the upper plate (300).

[0064] Additionally, a flag to express the identity of each team can be placed on the board frame (100), and a scoreboard to indicate the scoring status of each team can be provided.

[0065] The stick handle (10) for each player to control the figure (20) is inserted from the outside of the board frame (100) through the goal frame (400) into the inside of the board frame (100). Therefore, each player can play to protect the goal through the figure (20) to prevent a goal and can implement defensive movements more actively.

[0066] Alternatively, although not shown in the drawings according to one embodiment of the present invention, a groove or slit (a long horizontal groove) into which a stick handle (10) can be inserted is formed on the outer surface of not only the goal frame (400) but also the board frame (100), so that the figure (20) can be controlled, and not only defensive but also active offensive play is possible. Forming a groove into which a stick handle (10) is inserted on the outer surface of the board frame (100) is included in the spirit of the present invention because it can be modified according to the number of stick handles (10) provided to each player.

[0067] When a goal is scored or a point is conceded, the ball (1) remains in the goal frame (400) and can be placed in the center hole (330) in the center circle or placed in a location determined by the players to restart the game.

[0068] Figure 2 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of the soccer board game of the present invention in isolation. Goal frames (400) are provided on both sides of the board frame (100). The goal frames (400) may be formed integrally with the board frame (100), or may be provided as a detachable and mountable form.

[0069] And the lower plate (200) is placed on the base plate (110) of the above board frame (100), and the upper plate (300) is placed on the upper part of the lower plate (200). The upper surface of the upper plate (300) can display the area of ​​the ground, such as the center circle, half line, and goal line of the soccer field, thereby providing a sense of realism and liveliness.

[0070] Figure 3 is a perspective view showing the lower plate (200) and the upper plate (300) placed on the base plate (110) in a separated state. The lower plate (200) and the upper plate (300) are plates that enable a game space to be provided.

[0071] The lower plate (200) is raised so that its bottom surface is placed on the base plate (110), and a lower corner support (210) protruding upward is provided at each corner on the upper surface. The corner refers to the vertex area of ​​the plate. The shape of the board game of the present invention is not particularly limited, but in one embodiment, it has a rectangular shape identical to the shape of a soccer field, and each corner is a portion of the four vertices of the rectangle. The material of the lower plate (200) is not particularly limited, and may be made of various materials such as cloth, cotton, or plastic.

[0072] The lower corner support (210) formed at each corner of the upper surface of the lower plate (200) is a support for forming the slope of the ground where the game is played.

[0073] The upper plate (300) placed on top of the lower plate (200) has upper corner supports (311) formed to protrude downward at each corner of the bottom surface. The upper corner supports (311) come into contact with the lower corner supports (210) and lift the corners of the upper plate (300) upward. That is, the corners of the lower plate (200) and the upper plate (300) are spaced apart by a distance equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the lower corner supports (210) and the upper corner supports (311). A stick handle (10) is inserted into the space between the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200).

[0074] The stick handle (10) is placed on the upper part of the lower plate (200) and the lower part of the upper plate (300), and moves in the space between the lower plate (200) and the upper plate (300) separated by the lower corner support (210) and the upper corner support (311).

[0075] Since the upper plate (300) is supported on the lower plate (200) by the upper corner support (311), the friction with the stick handle (10) is reduced, and the player can move the stick handle (10) smoothly and smoothly.

[0076] Since the lower corner support (210) and upper corner support (311) are located at the corners of each plate, the stick handle (10) inserted into the game space through the goal frame (400) does not get caught significantly.

[0077] Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of the upper plate (300) in isolation. As shown in Fig. 4, the upper plate (300) is configured by combining a support plate (310) and a ground plate (320). The support plate (310) is a plate on which the upper corner support (311) is formed, and the ground plate (320) is positioned on the upper portion of the support plate (310), and the ground of a soccer field is indicated on the upper surface.

[0078] The above ground plate (320) is attached to the center of the upper surface of the above support plate (310), but the edges are not attached and are separated.

[0079] The above support plate (310) and ground plate (320) are formed with a center hole (330) which is the center of the center circle, and a ball (1) can be placed thereon. Since the ground plate (320) on which the board game of the present invention is played is formed to be inclined and the ball (1) moves along the incline, a center hole (330) for fixing the ball (1) is essential to prevent the ball (1) from being lost during a break in the game, and the ball (1) placed on the center hole (330) is stably fixed thereon.

[0080] The above ground plate (320) may be made of paper or fiber (fabric) material, and since it is a plate on which the ball (1) and the figure (20) are placed, friction occurs repeatedly, so if it is worn or damaged, it can be easily replaced with another ground plate (320).

[0081] The figure (20) placed on the upper part of the ground plate (320) is also provided with a bottom surface made of a fiber material that comes into contact with the ground plate (320), thereby reducing friction with the ground plate (320) and enabling smooth and seamless movement.

[0082] Even if the above ground plate (320) is made of paper or fiber material, it is preferable that the support plate (310) be formed of a material that has some flexibility but does not flap excessively. This is because the first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) move with the upper plate (300) between them, so damage caused by magnetic force must be suppressed, and the material must be able to prevent the ground shape from being excessively deformed to enable smooth play.

[0083] The above ground plate (320) is a plate on which a figure (20) and a ball (1) are placed on the upper surface, and the support plate (310) is a plate on which an upper corner support (311) is formed protrudingly. In the support plate (310), various fixing means can be used to fix the upper corner support (311) formed protrudingly at the corner portion of the lower surface to the support plate (310). In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper corner support (311) is fixed to the support plate (310) via a rivet. Therefore, a rivet protrudes upward from the upper corner portion of the upper surface of the support plate (310), which is referred to as an upper protrusion (312). The upper protrusion (312) is the upper portion of a rivet that fixes the upper corner support according to one embodiment of the present invention, but is not limited thereto. The upper corner support (311) can be connected to the lower corner of the support plate (310) using various connecting means such as a bond in addition to a rivet, and the upper protrusion (312) can also be additionally provided at the upper corner of the support plate (310). That is, the upper protrusion (312) is not necessarily limited to the protruding portion of the rivet.

[0084] The upper protrusion (312) above supports the bottom surface of the corner of the ground plate (320). Therefore, the corner of the ground plate (320) is slightly spaced apart from the corner of the support plate (310) by the upper protrusion (312). However, the ground plate (320) naturally sags downwards, so that its center (location of the center circle) can be in contact with the support plate (310). In addition, the corner of the upper plate (300) and the corner of the lower plate (200) are spaced apart by the lower corner support (210) and the upper corner support (311), but the center is such that the upper plate (300) naturally sags, so that the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200) can be in contact. Even if the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200) are in contact, the stick handle (10) moving between the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200) can repeatedly fall and come into contact again. Even if the center of the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200) are in contact, the load of the sagging is very small, so the movement of the stick handle (10) is not hindered, and the stick handle (10) can easily push out the sagging portion of the upper plate (300) with just a little pressure.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper plate (300) is shown as being dually composed of a support plate (310) and a ground plate (320), but in another embodiment, it may be formed integrally. In the case where the upper plate (300) is formed integrally without being separated, the upper surface of the upper plate (300) has the ground of a soccer field displayed, and an upper corner support (311) is formed at the bottom corner. In addition, the upper protrusion (312) located between the support plate (310) and the ground plate (320) can be omitted, and the upper corner support (311) can be formed to be slightly thicker to overcome this problem.

[0086] In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the base plate (110) and the lower plate (200) are shown as separate components, but in another embodiment, the lower corner support (210) may be formed on the upper corner of the base plate (110), the lower plate (200) may be omitted, and the upper corner support (311) of the upper plate (300) may be placed on the lower corner support (210) of the base plate (110).

[0087] Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200) combined, and Fig. 6 is a side view. Referring to Figs. 5 and 6, the ground plate (320) of the present invention has a shape that slopes upward from the center where the center circle is drawn toward each corner, and slopes downward from the corner toward the center. This is because the lower corner supports (210) and the upper corner supports (311) support the corners, and since the center has no support, the center naturally sag. To prevent this sagging, the upper plate (300) is made of a material with some flexibility.

[0088] Looking more specifically, since the lower corner support (210) of the lower plate (200) supports the upper corner support (311) of the support plate (310), the center of the support plate (310) is sagging toward the center of the lower plate (200), and since the upper protrusion (312) of the support plate (310) supports the ground plate (320), the center of the ground plate (320) is sagging toward the center of the support plate (310) that is already sagging. The curvature of the ground plate (320) is deepened by the lower corner support (210), the upper corner support (311), and the upper protrusion (312).

[0089] Therefore, the ball (1) moving on the ground plate (320) moves along the slope of the ground plate (320) toward the center. The corner of the ground plate (320) is difficult for the figure (20) controlled by the stick handle (10) to reach, and when the ball (1) gets stuck in the corner, the player has a hard time pulling the ball (1) out. Therefore, in order to prevent the ball (1) from getting stuck in the corner, the corner is supported higher than the center by a support, so that the ball (1) can roll toward the center without getting stuck in the corner.

[0090] In addition, since the force that causes the ball (1) to move along the slope of the ground plate (320) while playing is generated, it is possible to plan for unexpected movement of the ball (1), and since it is possible to induce a fierce battle in the center that is easier to reach than each corner that the stick handle (10) and figure (20) cannot reach, it induces an exciting play.

[0091] The soccer board game according to the present invention can implement a tackle attack that is completely impossible to implement on a conventional soccer table. When an opponent controls the ball (1) and takes a favorable position, the player can forcefully strike the stick handle (10) against the opponent's stick handle (10) to separate the figure (20) that is magnetically coupled to the first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10), rendering it uncontrollable, thereby overcoming a crisis in the game. When the figure (20) falls, the figure (20) can be lifted up again by swinging the stick handle (10) so that the second magnet (21) of the fallen figure (20) attaches to the first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10). This is illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10 .

[0092] Fig. 7 is a drawing showing the size (diameter) of the stick handle (10) and the ball (1). Referring to Fig. 7, when the edge of the stick handle (10) is in contact with the side wall of the board frame (100), the distance between the figure (20) attached to the first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10) and the side wall is formed to be smaller than the diameter of the ball (1). That is, when the stick handle (10) is in contact with the side wall of the board frame (100), the distance between the first magnet (11) and the side wall is smaller than the diameter of the ball (1). As shown in Fig. 7(a), when the figure (20) is as close to the side wall as possible, the ball (1) cannot pass between the side wall and the figure (20).

[0093] Therefore, even if the ball (1) is at the corner of the ground plate (320), the ball (1) can be guided by touching it through the figure (20), and the ball (1) can be driven by making contact with the figure (20) regardless of its position on the ground plate (320), so there is no problem of delaying the game.

[0094] Fig. 8 is a drawing showing a goal frame (400). The goal frame (400) is placed on both sides of the board frame (100) and a ball (1) enters the goal. The goal frame (400) has openings at the front and rear so that a stick handle (10) can pass through it. In addition, when the ball (1) passes the goal line of the goal frame (400) on the ground plate (320), the player takes the ball (1) out of the goal frame (400) and places it back on the ground plate (320) to restart the game. Here, the front refers to the direction toward the center circle, and the rear refers to the direction in which the player is standing.

[0095] The front side of the goal frame (400) or board frame (100) is provided with an upper fixing member (410) and a lower fixing member (420). The upper fixing member (410) and the lower fixing member (420) protrude toward the front side. In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper fixing member (410) and the lower fixing member (420) are shown as being formed on the goal frame (400), but their positions are not limited to the goal frame (400) and may also be formed on the side wall of the board frame (100).

[0096] The lower fixing member (420) is positioned at an upper position spaced apart from the upper surface of the base plate (110), and the lower plate (200) is inserted and fixed between the lower fixing member (420) and the base plate (110).

[0097] The upper fixing member (410) is positioned above the lower fixing member (420), but is spaced upwardly from the lower fixing member (420) by a gap. The upper plate (300) is inserted and fixed between the upper fixing member (410) and the lower fixing member (420). Therefore, the upper plate (300) is caught by the upper fixing member (410) and the lower fixing member (420) and does not come off.

[0098] Since the lower plate (200) and the upper plate (300) are affected by the stick handle (10), it is desirable to fix them so as not to interfere with play, and they are caught by the upper fixing member (410) and the lower fixing member (420) so as not to fall out of the game space of the board frame (100).

[0099] In addition, the upper plate (300) is prevented from sagging downward by being hung on the lower fixing member (420) so that a space can be secured between the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200), which is the space into which the stick handle (10) is inserted.

[0100] In addition, the edge of the upper plate (300) is fixed by being fitted into the upper fixing member (410) and the lower fixing member (420) formed on the goal frames (400) on both sides, so that the edge of the upper plate (300) is supported by the lower fixing member (420), and thus the center can maintain a concave shape, and this can provide an exciting game by making a downward slope from the goal posts on both sides to the center where the center circle is located, thereby preventing the ball (1) from easily crossing the goal line.

[0101] The bottom surface of the above-mentioned goal frame (400) is formed with a downward slope (430) from the front to the rear. The ball (1) that has crossed the goal line rolls along the slope (430) and moves closer to the player so that the player can easily retrieve it. It is also preferable that the highest point on the slope (430) be positioned lower than the edge of the upper plate (300).

[0102] Therefore, before the ball (1) crosses the goal line, the slope of the floor, i.e., the ground plate (320), is inclined downward toward the center circle, so that it cannot easily cross the goal line and allows for interesting play in the center, and after crossing the goal line, it rolls along the floor slope (430) that is inclined downward toward the player (from the front to the rear), so that the player who concedes a goal can easily retrieve the ball (1) from the goal frame (400).

[0103] A front side member (440) is formed horizontally across the goal frame (400) on the front side of the goal frame (400), and a rear side member (450) is formed horizontally across the goal frame (400) on the rear side. The front side member (440) is positioned forward of the rear side member (450).

[0104] The front and rear sides of the goal frame (400) are open, so that the stick handle (10) can be inserted from the player side toward the center circle, and the player who concedes a point can retrieve the ball (1). The front side (440) and the rear side (450) limit the goal frame (400) that is open at the front and rear, and the height of the rear side (450) is formed lower than that of the front side (440), so that the height of the front side (440) is higher. Since the front side (440) is positioned at a position set back from the goal line, the ball (1) is allowed to score by crossing the goal line, but does not enter the goal frame (400), hits the front side (440), bounces, and rolls back toward the ground plate (320), so that the height of the front side (440) is formed higher.

[0105] On the other hand, the rear side (450) is formed to have a lower height than the front side (440), in order to limit the upward movement range of the stick handle (10). It is preferable that the stick handle (10) pass from the rear to the front of the goal frame (400) and move between the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200), but the movement direction is horizontal. This is because if the player lifts the stick handle (10) upward, the ground plate (320) is raised, and the set slope is damaged, making it impossible to fight for the ball (1) in the center, which is the intended purpose. Therefore, the rear side (450) blocks the rising of the stick handle (10) so that the stick handle (10) can only move horizontally and the ground plate (320) is not lifted.

[0106] Fig. 9 shows a state in which a figure (20) has fallen over while the first magnet (11) has not been magnetically coupled with the second magnet (21), and Fig. 10 shows a state in which a fallen figure (20) has been raised up.

[0107] The soccer board game according to the present invention can implement a tackle attack in which each team's stick handle (10) moves in the same space between the upper plate (300) and the lower plate (200) and the player strongly hits the opponent's stick handle (10) with his / her own stick handle (10) to knock over the opponent's figure (20).

[0108] When a figure (20) falls over after being tackled, the player who caused the figure (20) to fall over moves the stick handle (10) back and forth again, and when the second magnet (21) of the fallen figure (20) attaches to the first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10), the figure (20) stands up by magnetic force and normal play can resume.

[0109] To this end, the first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) are preferably arranged in a flat cylindrical shape so that the magnetic field is mainly generated on the bottom and top surfaces, which are flat surfaces. The second magnet (21) is placed on the bottom surface of the figure (20), so that the flat surface faces the ground plate (320), and the first magnet (11) fitted to the stick handle (10) is also arranged so that the flat surface faces the ground plate (320).

[0110] When the figure (20) is overturned, the direction of the flat surface of the second magnet (21) is perpendicular to the direction of the surface of the ground plate (320), but when the stick handle (10) is moved here and there and a magnetic force is applied to the first magnet (11), the flat surface of the first magnet (11) and the flat surface of the second magnet (21) act to face each other with the upper plate (300) in between, and this allows the figure (20) to stand up. The first magnet (11) and the second magnet (21) are combined or separated with the upper plate (300) in between, and the skill of controlling the figure (20) is required, and rather than allowing the win or loss of the game to be determined by luck, it is possible to combine skill and ability.

[0111] In this way, the soccer board game using magnets according to the present invention can move the figure (20) in various directions on the ground and score by driving the ball (1) and passing or shooting it into the opponent's goal, so it is more lively and exciting than the conventional soccer board game, and can be played with various tactics and strategies depending on the movement of the figure (20).

[0112] The first magnet (11) of the stick handle (10) and the second magnet (21) of the figure (20) can be separated or recombined by magnetic force through the upper plate (300), and the player can be required to play more carefully, thereby improving concentration.

[0113] In addition, even if the stick handle (10) is moved violently, the lower plate (200) and the upper plate (300) are fixed by being caught on the upper fixing member (410) and the lower fixing member (420) formed on the goal frame (400), so that they do not fall out of the game space, allowing for smooth game progress.

[0114] In addition, the slope of the ground plate (320) is inclined upward toward the corner by the lower corner support (210) and upper corner support (311) and upper protrusion (312) formed on the lower plate (200) and upper plate (300), respectively, so that the phenomenon of stagnation in the corner is prevented and the ball (1) fight is possible in the center, thereby inducing cool play.
