Game set for constructing a stationary playing field

Abstract

A game set includes a first, a second and/or a further edge element, and a connection element with a first receptacle to receive the first edge element, and a second receptacle to receive the second and/or the further edge element. The first edge element and the second and/or further edge elements are detachably connected via the connection element. The first, the second and/or the further edge element, when connected, together form an edge for deflecting a movement of a movable game element for a playing area onto a playing area plane. The first, the second and/or the further edge element has/have a main body which has a curved cross-section having a curvature contour. The main body can thereby have a rolled-up or a stretched position. The main body is receivable, in the stretched position, with the curvature contour along a respective receiving axis in the first and/or second receptacle.
