Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to an educational game intended for developing the logical deduction of the players, particularly of children, said game comprising on the one hand a model representing a plurality of ordered assemblies of squares to each of which is allocated a logic value 0 or 1, or a neutral value which may be equal to 0 or 1 according to the circumstances, all the ordered assemblies comprising the same number n of squares, and on the other hand a plurality of mobile elements such as pieces, counters, blocks, discs, etc., with at least one of the faces of each of which is associated the logic value 0 or logic value 1.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
218 words
Educational game for the development of logical deduction on the part of the players, especially children comprising: a surface having a plurality of assemblies of n number of sequentially arranged areas; each of said areas being provided with distinctive indicia to identify it with one of a first, second and third category; the first category of areas being representative of logic 1; the second category of areas being representative of logic 0; the third category of areas being representative of a neutral value comprising both logic 1 and logic 0; the sequence of the arrangement of categories of areas in each of said assemblies being different from the sequence of arrangement of the categories of areas in every other assembly of areas; n number of mobile playing pieces to be arranged in sequential positions corresponding to the sequential positions of each of said areas; each of said playing pieces being provided with indicia means representative of logic 1 and logic 0; each of said playing pieces being also provided with means to display alternatively said logic 1 or logic 0 indicia when arranged in said sequential positions; the sequence of the displayed indicia when said playing pieces are arranged in a predetermined sequence being dissimilar to the sequence of indicia displayed by each of said assemblies of areas.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
13 words
A game as claimed in claim 1, wherein said indicia comprise specific colours.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A game as claimed in one of claims 1 or 2, wherein said surface is formed by an assembly of different areas distributed in lines and in columns.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
A game as claimed in claim 3, wherein the surface is formed by a card and it comprises a plurality of different cards.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
A game as claimed in claim 5, wherein certain independent squares comprise two faces respectively representing a logic 1 and a logic 0, whilst others are entirely representative of the neutral value.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
57 words
A game as claimed in claim 1, comprising a cover provided with as many identical perforated motifs as there are columns on the surface and said mobile elements are coloured portions of a motif identical to one of said perforated motifs, the number of said portions being equal to the number of the lines of a column.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
33 words
A game as claimed in claim 1, wherein said surface comprises a plurality of different mixed ordered assemblies and a cover is provided which allows only one assembly to appear at a time.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
18 words
A game as claimed in claim 8, wherein the surface is formed by a plurality of juxtaposed strips.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
