ABSTRACT:
A board game comprises a board containing a plurality of playing areas which contiguously form diagonal rows. A plurality of sets of pieces are positioned on the playing areas and are movable thereon. Each piece includes an indicator which, when oriented in the direction of one of the rows toward a piece of the other set, places the latter piece under attack. Each piece originally is oriented on its associated playing area out of the direction of the rows so as to be unable to place a piece of the other set under attack. Each playing area has a smaller attack area therein oriented at an angle relative to the playing area and corresponding in shape to the pieces. Accordingly, when a piece is turned to an attack position, it is aligned with the attack area. The sets of pieces are initially set up on the playing areas to form mutually facing pyramids with the front piece of one pyramid laterally offset relative to the front piece of the other pyramid.
