ABSTRACT:
A game (1) for two players has as its object the entrapment of a particular playing piece of one player by a playing piece or pieces of the other player. A game board (3) is divided into a plurality of individual spaces. A plurality of individual playing pieces are distinctively identified to form two sets (5 and 5') of pieces. The pieces are manuverable between spaces on the game board to capture pieces of the other set. Movement of pieces is governed by a set of rules. An overlay (11 or 11') is placeable over a portion of the game board by a player. The overlay is divided into spaces corresponding to the spaces on the game board. Two sets of barrier pieces are provided, one set for each player. Each set includes barrier pieces (17 or 17') a player may position on his overlay. The barrier pieces establish barriers around and over which playing pieces of both players must be manuvered during the game. The game also includes representations of the game board such that each player possesses one of the representations. The representations are similar to the game board except that they contain marked spaces. The marked spaces represent areas on the board on which players can place pieces that have been previously captured.
