Token for board games

Abstract

The invention has as its scope a token for board games comprising a rigid body (11) of substantially planar shape and having a substantially hexagonal perimeter, where on the outer sides of the perimeter of the rigid body (11) there are, in an alternating manner, an interlocking seat (12) and a attachment element (14), where the attachment element (14) is complementary to the interlocking seat (12), so that each of the interlocking seats (12) is configured to accommodate a respective attachment element (14) belonging to a different hexagonal token. The invention further comprises a prefabricated block (100) comprising a plurality of game tokens.

1 . A token for board games comprising a rigid body ( 11 ) having a substantially planar shape and having a substantially hexagonal perimeter, wherein on the outer sides of the perimeter of the said rigid body ( 11 ) there are provided, in an alternating manner, an interlocking seat ( 12 ) and a attachment element ( 14 ), where said attachment element ( 14 ) is complementary to said interlocking seat ( 12 ), such that each of the said interlocking seats ( 12 ) is configured to accommodate a respective attachment element ( 14 ) belonging to a different hexagonal token, characterized in that said token provides a hole ( 42 , 72 ) placed for example in the centre of the token itself and configured to accommodate an object external to said token to accommodate a component ( 50 / 60 ) having a base ( 51 / 61 ) of complementary shape to the shape of said hole ( 72 ) and a pin ( 52 ) or a hole ( 62 ) for facilitating its assembly and removal. 
     
     
         2 . The game token as in  claim 1 , wherein the hole ( 72 ) in the centre of the token has a hexagonal shape. 
     
     
         3 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein the hexagonal hole ( 72 ) placed in the centre of the token is configured to accommodate a component ( 50 / 60 ) having a base ( 51 / 61 ) of hexagonal shape complementary to the shape of said hexagonal hole ( 72 ). 
     
     
         4 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein other shapes will be applied on said token beside to a hole in case of need for a more binding shape for a component. 
     
     
         5 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein said at least one token comprising at least one or more holes ( 72 ) on the same token for accommodating multiple components ( 50 / 60 ). 
     
     
         6 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein the hole ( 72 ) or the holes on the one or more tokens can be made with non-slip material edges to make safer the fit between the hole and the game component so as permit to position the assembly of tokens assembled together ideally also in a vertical or inclined position or even “upside down”. 
     
     
         7 . The game token as in  the preceding claims  wherein one or more tokens are made of material such as iron or ferromagnetic material, in turn the components in this variant will be made of iron or ferromagnetic material in such a way that the housing of the component in the one or more holes ( 72 ) of the token/s forms an even more stable coupling and confers versatility to the game. 
     
     
         8 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein each of said interlocking seats ( 12 ) has two inclined sides ( 12 ′) having an inclination that can vary from 30° to 80° with respect to the side of the hexagonal token in which said seat ( 12 ) is present and each of said attachment elements ( 14 ) has two inclined sides ( 14 ′) having an inclination that can vary from 30° to 80° with respect to the side of the hexagonal token in which said attachment element ( 14 ) is present. 
     
     
         9 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein a reinforcing frame ( 22 ) is provided on the lower surface of the token, in order to impart greater resistance to bending to said token and to be able to slightly raise said token from a support plane for the token. 
     
     
         10 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein at the centre of the upper surface of the token there is provided a projecting body ( 32 ) having a shape chosen from cylindrical, frusto-conical, with the lesser flat surface of the frusto-2 conical shape facing downwards and the greater flat surface facing upwards, or prismatic with a hexagonal base. 
     
     
         11 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein said rigid body ( 11 ) is made of a material selected from plastic and cardboard, cloth, rigid fabric, semi-rigid or carpet type. 
     
     
         12 . Prefabricated block ( 100 ) of game tokens, where said prefabricated block ( 100 ) comprises a plurality of game tokens as in  the preceding claims , said game tokens being connected to each other and wherein on the outer sides of the perimeter of said prefabricated block ( 100 ) there are alternately provided an interlocking seat ( 12 ) and a attachment element ( 14 ), or some of said tokens can be made with one or more sides without interlocking elements, to be “smooth”, so as to be used as external and/or finishing elements. 
     
     
         13 . The game token as in  the preceding claims , wherein a token ( 30 ) comprises a projecting body ( 32 ) and a token ( 40 ) comprises a hole ( 42 ), said projecting body ( 32 ) and said hole ( 42 ) also allow to couple the tokens ( 30  and  40 ) with each other to form an at least “double plane” of tokens that may be interesting for some variations of the game.
