ABSTRACT:
Movable game tokens are placed on a game board partitioned into twelve regions known as house areas and into forty-eight other subdivisions known as zodiac squares in response to throws of a pair of dice and on the basis of actions dictated by additional chance means including three preshuffled decks of cards. Two of these decks have cards with one or more directions imprinted thereon which call for the placement on or removal of at least one game token from one of the zodiac squares. The house areas, each of which bears a different zodiac sign and is proximate four zodiac squares, are grouped in eight sets of three, each known as trigons. The house areas within each trigon are associated either with the same major planet or with the same minor planet. Each of the four trigons associated with a major planet is assigned to one of the contestants before play is commenced. A player wins by being the first to perform the process three times of removing the game tokens from all of the zodiac squares contiguous his trigon.
