ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus comprising a novel game board and playing accessories is suitable for play by two persons in a short period of time. The game board comprises an elongated board divided into checkered squares of three different colors and having base strips at opposite ends of the board and a neutral strip across the center of the board from side to side. There are positioned at the base strips at opposite ends of the board the playing pieces of each player. The board simulates a space war. The playing pieces are of three distinct types, command ships, cargo ships and fighter ships. Movement of the pieces is first from the base strip onto the playing area of the board, with additional playing pieces being moved into the base strip as spaces are available. Movement of the pieces is determined by three dice having distinctive indicia. One die has the numerals 1, 2 and 3 thereon. A second die has indicia for the three different playing pieces. The third die has indicia for the colors of the board on which movement is permitted (movement is permitted on only two colors) and indicia indicating destruction of an opposing piece and the color of the square where such piece is located. Play continues until the opposing base is occupied or the two opposing command ship pieces are destroyed.
