Game set

Abstract

There is provided a game set including a plurality of pieces that have p types and includes at least n pieces for each of the types, and a board. On a surface of the board, guide images are formed so as to be arranged on lattice points of r rows and c columns and give guidance on placement locations of the pieces. The number p of types is greater than or equal to a number of r or c, whichever is greater. The number n of pieces of each type is greater than or equal to a number of r or c, whichever is smaller. The at least p×n pieces have a plurality of faces that are distinguishable from one another.

1 . A game set comprising:
 a plurality of pieces comprising p types of pieces and, for each p types of pieces, n types of pieces, wherein p and n are both integers of 2 or more; and   a board, wherein,   on a surface of the board, guide images are formed so as to be arranged on lattice points of r rows and c columns and give guidance on placement locations of the pieces, and the p types of pieces is greater than or equal to a number of r or c, whichever is greater, i.e., the number of r or c if the numbers are identical, and the n types of pieces for each of the p types of pieces is greater than or equal to a number of r or c, whichever is smaller, i.e., the number of r or c if the numbers are identical, and   p×n pieces have a plurality of faces that are distinguishable from one another.   
     
     
         2 . The game set according to  claim 1 , wherein
 a substitute image substituted for each of the pieces is formed on an extension line in at least one of a row direction and a column direction in the guide images.   
     
     
         3 . The game set according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the substitute image is an image that corresponds to one of the faces distinguishable from each other of each of the pieces.   
     
     
         4 . The game set according to  claim 3 , wherein
 the number of faces distinguishable from each other of each of the pieces is two, and   the substitute image on the extension line in the row direction of the guide image is an image corresponding to one of the two mutually distinguishable faces, and the substitute image on the extension line in the column direction is an image corresponding to the other of the two mutually distinguishable faces.   
     
     
         5 . The game set according to  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a box capable of containing the pieces with the board used as a lid, wherein   a periphery of the board and a periphery of an opening of the box are magnetically engaged with each other.
