Coloured playing dice

Abstract

 The playing dice (10) comprises a body defined by side faces (11-16), each one being provided with a respective numbering and/or score depending on the type of game the dice (10) is provided for; each face (11-16) of the dice (10), or each numbering and/or score of the faces (11-16) of the dice (10), presents a different colouring from the other faces (11-16) of the dice (10), respectively from the other numberings and/or scores. The coloured playing dice (10), in combination with other dice (10) similarly or differently coloured, may be used for party games.

Description

[0001] The present invention refers to a playing dice for party games comprising a body defined by three or more side faces, each one being provided with a respective numbering and/or score relating to the kind of party game the dice is provided for.

[0002] Playing dice of different shapes, defined by three or more faces, on which a symbol, numbering and/or score is reproduced, are variously used in numerous party games, depending on the kind and rules of the same game.

[0003] Conventional dice generally present a uniform colouring of the body, depending on the material used; in some other cases groups of dice having different colourings may be used, where the dice of each group may be all of the same colour with respect to the rules of the game they are provided for.

[0004] An object of the present invention is to provide for a new playing dice, by which it is possible to realise a party game according to which players effect a set of throws of one or more dice, till reaching an established score, depending on determined features of the same dice and following suitable rules of the game.

[0005] The innovative aspect of the playing dice according to the present invention consists in that each face of the dice presents a different colouring from the other faces, on which a increasing value score is reported. According to a possible variation, in substitution or in combination with the different colourings of the dice faces, also numbering and/or the score reproduced on the various faces of the dice may have a different colouring.

[0006] Some preferred embodiments of a coloured playing dice according to the present invention, will be described in the following with reference to the enclosed drawings, in which:

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the playing dice according to a first embodiment;

Figs. 2 to 7 show the six faces of the dice of fig. 1, having a different colour;

Fig. 8 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of a dice according the invention.

[0007] In figure 1 and in figures 2 to 7 a cubic-shaped dice, indicated as a whole with reference number 10, is shown the body of which being defined by six flat faces indicated with reference numbers 11 to 16.

[0008] Each face of the dice 10 is provided with a respective numbering and/or score depending on the rules and kind of the party game the dice is provided for; for example in figures 1 to 7, on the different faces of the dice an increasing score is reproduced, represented by numbers 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 600 referring to corresponding scores of the game; however it is evident that in substitution of the above numbers, the different faces of the dice could present a different increasing numbering and/or score for unit and/or tens and/or hundreds and/or thousands of units depending on the specific requirements and rules of the game.

[0009] According to this first embodiment, the dice of the invention is characterized in that each face 11 to 16 presents a different colouring from the other faces; this is shown by the different dashed colour code in the various figures 2 to 7, to which for example the following colours correspond, in the sequence to red, yellow, orange, green, violet and silver. Colouring of the faces or of each face of the dice may be partial or may apply to the whole surface of the same face.

[0010] In the case of figures 1 to 7, all faces of the dice have therefore different colours from one another; however it is possible that only few faces have different colours from one another and that the remaining faces have the same colour.

[0011] Figure 8 of the drawings shows a possible variation of the playing dice according to the present invention. The example of figure 8 differs from the example of figure 1 as now all faces of the dice have the same colouring, while numbering and/or scores are differently coloured on few or all faces of the dice.

[0012] It is also possible to provide for a combination between the different colouring of the faces of the dice of figure 1 with the different colouring of the scores of the dice of figure 8, that is the various faces of the dice and, in the same time, the various numberings and/or scores present all different colourings.

[0013] However it is to be intended that what said and shown in the attached drawings was given only as an example of the innovative features of the coloured playing dice according to this invention and that other modifications and changes in colouring and/or in combining the colours of the faces and/or the symbols, numberings and/or scores may be applied, without departing form what claimed.
