playing cards with letters.

Playing board for word game.

Initial game positions for letters
of the second complete set:

This word game is arranged so that players could have letters of the alphabet (playing cards with letters) on squares of a chess board, and could manipulate letters as playing figures as in a chess or checkers. Therefore letters of the alphabet are put on a surface of game elements which can be named as playing cards or as "playing letters".
Letters are put on playing cards in the direct and turned positions that do not to read letters "head over heels" in the event that players are opposite each other.
The composition of game contains two complete sets of 32 playing cards on which consonant letters are submitted once, and vowel letters are submitted twice. Total each complete set of playing cards represents 20 consonant letters and 6+6=12 vowel letters of the Latin alphabet.
Playing cards of two complete sets differ by means of presence or absence of dark rhombuses on backs and by different colors on a face sheet.
Playing cards of the first complete set have red and yellow colors, and playing cards of the second complete set have green and blue colors that corresponds to proportional groups. Namely letters of red cards in structure of the first complete set are proportional to letters of yellow cards, and letters of green cards in the second complete set are proportional to letters of blue cards.
The belonging of letters to proportional groups in structure of complete sets is specified by presence and absence of daggers on backs of playing cards.
Proportional distribution consists that letters have factors (coefficients) of using (frequency of occurrence) in language according to which the sum of factors in each proportional group is equal 59. Provided that the composition of this word game represents complete sets of letters which are distributed on proportional groups according to frequency factors of letters in the English language.
Actually letters of the Latin alphabet are general for different languages and consequently distribution of complete sets to proportional groups depends on frequency factors of letters in different languages for which the present word game can be intended.
The Arabian ciphers on playing cards specify frequency factors of letters for English words.
Each proportional group has equal quantity of vowel letters as vowel letters are syllabic and have paramount value at word formation.
When two players participate in game then each can play by letters of own proportional group from structure of one complete set, or each can play by letters of the own complete set, and thus equal odds of a prize will be observed due to proportional distribution of letters.
Besides playing cards have focusing arrows which are used for orientations of playing cards on a game board.
The game board consists of 8 vertical and 8 horizontal lines of squares which have rectangular forms similar to forms of playing cards.
Squares of the game board are dark and light by way of chess that allows to see diagonals.
Verticals and horizontals of the game board are designated by the numerical notations.
According to the listed design features this word forming game allows to have playing cards with letters on squares of a board and to play as by chess figures. The probable arrangements of proportional groups of the first and second complete sets on squares of a game board in initial positions are shown in figure 1 and figure 2 where letters are shown in schematic squares with indications of frequency factors.
Brief rules and instructions of games and puzzles look on the appropriate page of this website or look PDF files where complete rules of 33 games and 6 puzzles are written in Russian: wgru1.pdf and wgru2.pdf
Rules of games with use of English letters are similar to rules of games with use of Russian letters provided that the knowledge of different languages is necessary.
Letters of the Latin alphabet can be used in word games for different languages provided that distributions of letters to proportional groups are necessary for different languages. Namely it is necessary to use frequency factors of letters in that languages for which this game will be intended.
Latin letters are actual for the English language and are not actual for languages which have not Latin alphabetic systems. But use of Latin letters can be actual for the Chinese or Korean or Japanese languages, and also other languages in which there are no own alphabetic systems. Namely the Chinese or Korean or Japanese words can be written by means of Latin letters then such words can be used for realization of word games. But provided that distributions of letters to proportional groups according to frequencies of using are necessary for the appropriate languages. And also special dictionaries where Chinese or Korean or Japanese words are written by Latin letters are necessary.
Also Latin letters can be used for international word games in which participants are carriers of different languages. Provided that special dictionaries are necessary for international games, and it is necessary to collect words of different languages which are allowable for word formation and are written by Latin letters. And the international dictionaries should have equal quantities of words of all used languages, and also letters in complete sets of playing cards should be distributed on proportional groups according to average arithmetic factors (coefficients) of frequency in all used languages.
Besides for international games it is possible to use the Esperanto language though in this case it is necessary that players knew Esperanto.
In any case use of Latin letters for word games and puzzles can be interesting in different languages.

I hope that this word forming game will be interesting!
Will be more interesting rather than prototypes such as scrabble or erudite.

Now the online storehouse of files does not work, but ask files personally me via e-mail.

In storehouse you can downloads other PDF files with images for printing playing cards or dominoes, and also many other board games from other my gaming websites within the Internet portal www.64g.ru.
I can exchange files with images for this board game with words for free-of-charge translations of any pages of this website into foreign languages.
