ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus is disclosed in which distinguishable sets of playing pieces are provided and with each player of the game receiving one of the sets for movement on the playing surface, which is divided into a grid-like array of spaces defining a path for movement of the pieces in either a horizontal or vertical direction. A plurality of corner starting zones to provide each player of the game with designated spaces for initial positioning of one of the sets therein is provided, as well as a plurality of distinguishable finishing zones to provide each player of the game with designated spaces to reach in order to win the game. A chance device is operable by players of the game apparatus for determining the possible number of spaces a particular playing piece shall move along the playing surface for movement from the starting zones to the finishing zones.
