Abstract

A game board ( 20 ), wherein the players or the actions of the players are identified by pawns (P) or cards, wherein the pawns (P) are conductive and include an authentication sole (S) interpreted by the software of a capacitive screen ( 5 ) of a digital tablet ( 1 ), wherein the game board ( 20 ) includes an opening window ( 21 ), the edges of the opening window ( 21 ) being arranged against the edges of the capacitive screen ( 5 ) of the digital tablet ( 1 ), the contact between the game board and the screen occurring over transmission areas ( 24 ) which are electrically connected to pawn-authentication areas ( 22 ) on the surface of the game board ( 20 ).

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Multi-player game board, where the players or players' actions are identified by pawns or cards, and where said pawns are conductive and have an authentication sole, which is interpreted by the software of a capacitive screen of a digital tablet, wherein said game board comprises an opening window, the edges of said opening window being retained against the edges of the capacitive screen of the digital tablet, whereby contact between said game board and said screen is established by means of transmission areas, which are electrically connected to corresponding authentication areas of said pawn on the surface of said game board. 
     
     
         2 . Multi-player game board according to  claim 1 , wherein said authentication area comprises a set of spaces arranged in line and mutually insulated from one another, whereby each space comprises a conductive area and each space is then connected by conductive wire to a corresponding space positioned on the edge of said board on said transmission area. 
     
     
         3 . Multi-player game board according to  claim 1 , wherein said authentication area comprises spaces that are arranged in a circular arc on said authentication area and that correspond to the signature typology of the soles of said pawns, whereby each space is then electrically connected, in mutual insulation from every other space, to a series of spaces aligned on said transmission area, where said tablet's processing software then recognizes the signature of said pawns according to the specific distribution of electrically activated spaces.
