ABSTRACT:
A game is provided with a map board subdivided into a plurality of territorial entities such as geographical or political entities, such as the states of the United States of America. Each state is assigned a value corresponding to, for example, its population. A grid of recesses is provided on the top surface of the game board which allows for the movement of game pieces therealong. The grid of recesses is formed into a plurality of vertical rows and a plurality of horizontal rows, and the game pieces move therealong a distance equal to a number shown by a first-game-piece control member, such as an eight-sided die, while the direction of movement of the game pieces along the grid of recesses is also determined by a game-piece control member, such as a second eight-sided die which has a plurality of directions indicated on the surfaces thereof. A state is claimed by any player whose game piece lands in a recess within the boundary of the state. The recesses are such as to minimize interference with the appearance of the board and to minimize erosion of the recesses by the game pieces.
