ABSTRACT:
A board game in which an articulated token is moveable along a serpentine path on a game board having path rows of spaces separated by intermediate zones with each intermediate zone containing an end turning space. The token has a number of disks joined together by a bead chain that permits a disk to be turned from one side to the opposite side, which is distinguished by color or other indicia, independently of the other disk segments as well as to permit the movement of the token along the serpentine path. A shooter moveable along the edge of the board is provided for hitting individual disk segments rendering them inoperable and requiring the player to turn the hit segments over to indicate their inoperability. Blocking tokens, both moveable and fixed, are also provided to protect the articulated token from being hit by the shooter as well as to hinder movement of the articulated token along the serpentine path.
