ABSTRACT:
A board game includes a board having on a surface thereof a pattern of squares. The squares are arranged in parallel rows extending between the sides of the board and extending substantially parallel to and between the ends of the board. Several of the rows of squares intermediate the ends of the board contain fewer squares than the other rows of squares. The row of squares at each end of the board is of a first color, the next two rows of squares are of a second color, the intermediate rows of squares are of the second color, and all of the other rows of squares are of a third color. The game includes a plurality of playing pieces with half of the pieces having a first cross-sectional shape and the other half having a second cross-sectional shape. The playing pieces of each cross-sectional shape have some pieces which are longer than the other pieces. The playing pieces are of different colors with one longer piece and one shorter pieces being of the same color. The game also includes a plurality of playing cards which are of different colors corresponding to the colors of the playing pieces. The cards have indicia on a face thereof which correspond to the shape and size of the playing pieces.
