ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a board game and a method of playing the same. The game board used in the game comprises a playing surface with a first plurality of spaced apart pathways on the surface of the game board, and a second plurality of spaced apart pathways on the game board intersecting the first plurality of pathways. A continuous interconnecting pathway connecting all of the first plurality and the second plurality of pathways may be provided if desired. In addition, the game board may be three dimensional in nature, and the pathways may be recessed into the playing surface of the game board if desired. Regardless of which of the several modifications of the game board is used, the method disclosed has as its object to align the playing pieces such that two rows of like colored playing pieces will win the game, regardless of whether any one of the rows so formed is vertical, horizontal or diagonal.
