Abstract

A structure for a board game, constituted of a regular geometrically shaped body with a vertical axis of symmetry. This body is horizontally subdivided into independent levels (1 to 6), rotational about the axis of symmetry of the body, and they have recesses (7) on the side surfaces in which game pieces of an equal contour (10-11) can be coupled.

Claims

1. A structure for a board game, comprising a body with a pyramidal shape having a regular quadrangular base and with a vertical A structure for a board game, comprising a body with a pyramidal shape having a regular quadrangular base and with a vertical axis of symmetry, which body is horizontally subdivided into independent levels, which are rotational about a shaft coinciding with the vertical axis of symmetry, each of said levels having four side surfaces and having, in said side surfaces, a plurality of equal recesses, in each one of which recesses a game piece of an equal contour can be coupled,

wherein

the upper level, which constitutes the vertex of the pyramidal body, has one recess in each of its lateral surfaces;

and in that each one of said levels has recesses on their side surfaces, the number of said recesses on the surfaces of each level varying, increasing from the upper level, including only one recess, to the lower lever, including eleven recesses.

2. A structure according to claim 1, wherein the levels are of an equal height.

3. A structure according to claim 1, wherein said body extends in the lower portion into a hollow base or pedestal, which laterally opens to the exterior through two opposite surfaces, through which two extractible drawers containing the game pieces can be coupled.

4. A structure according to claim 1, wherein each level includes a bushing mounted around the shaft, and in that the structure includes washers between the bushings to facilitate the rotation of one level with regard to the adjacent levels.
