ABSTRACT:
A board game is disclosed whereby play advances by frustrating an opponent's progress through creating a series of intersection traffic jams on intersecting, defined pathways. The game arrangement includes a rectangular foldable board having a playing surface with printed indicia thereon, said indicia defining a centrally disposed circle with radial pathways extending from the center thereof through said circle and terminating at lateral pathways disposed adjacent opposite ends of said board and parallel thereto. Said circular, radial, and lateral pathways are segmented, and intersections thereof marked. Each player must move a total of preferably twelve shuttles across the board with movement dictated by alternate throws of a pair of dice. Players' shuttles enter the pathways at three marked points at one end of the board and must exit at a single point at the opposite end thereof. The board has upstanding sides and compartments located at either end and is centrally hinged so that said game arrangement is adapted to be self-contained when the opposing halves of said board are folded together.
