Patent number: 6923442Abstract: In a die which has a regular polyhedron form and which can be opened into a continuous polygonal form on a plane, boundary areas (Rb) between planes (11 through 16) on the inner side of the regular polyhedron have inclination angles determined according to the regular polyhedron. In addition, engaging portions (21a, 21b, 24a, 24b, 25a, 25b, 26a, 26b) not exceeding the respective boundary areas (Rb) are placed on the boundary areas (Rb) of predetermined planes (11 through 16). Such a die is formed by injecting plastic resin within a mold (31, 32) according to the form of the opened die. This realizes a three-dimensional die capable of being opened onto a two-dimensional plane, which has only been fictionally conceived, and further provides a manufacturing method thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2002Date of Patent: August 2, 2005Assignee: Konami CorporationInventors: Shoji Dewa, Akihiro Takatoku

Publication number: 20040239031Abstract: A board game, in which a game can be developed in an unexpected way, includes plural dice selected from among plural dice, which can be unfolded two-dimensionally and are rolled. According to the results of the rolling of the dice, a die is unfolded and placed on the play field. On the unfolded dice a player places his/her piece. Also according to the results of the rolling of the dice, a player saves costs necessary for pursuing a game on an Addition/Deduction Unit. On the cards respectively corresponding to pieces, the Group, Level, Ability, etc., of the pieces are indicated. A player makes his/her piece advance or attack the opponent's piece by paying the saved costs, and at the same time makes his/her piece defend itself by paying the saved costs as well. A player, who succeeds in giving predetermined damage to a specific piece of the opponent, wins a game.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 26, 2004Publication date: December 2, 2004Inventors: Shoji Dewa, Akihiro Takatoku

Such a die is formed by injecting plastic resin within a mold (31, 32) according to the form of the opened die. This realizes a three-dimensional die capable of being opened onto a two-dimensional plane, which has only been fictionally conceived, and further provides a manufacturing method thereof.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2002Date of Patent: November 30, 2004Assignee: Konami CorporationInventors: Shoji Dewa, Akihiro Takatoku
