ABSTRACT:
A gameboard includes a plurality of top-slotted, intersecting channels to define a grid of tracks for movement of playing pieces along and between the tracks. Each of the playing pieces includes a head projecting from the channel and a base within the channel. The head and base are interconnected by a neck having a collar so as to expand its cross section over a portion of its length. The neck passes through the slot to allow free movement of the piece along the tracks and inhibit removal of the piece from the plane of the gameboard. The collar is seated within the track intersections to restrict movement of the piece out of the intersections.
