ABSTRACT:
A board game for two players includes a game board having a plurality of triangular playing spaces, with the spaces arranged in pairs having alternating light and dark colors or shadings to form a plurality of diamond shaped areas on the board. Two sets of variously configured playing pieces are provided, with one set corresponding to the lighter colored playing spaces and the other corresponding to the darker spaces, although play may take place on any of the spaces for any of the pieces. Each set of playing pieces includes one or more pieces having single or plural space diagonal, lateral and other move patterns. The game also provides for at least some of the pieces to transpose from one color to the other of a pair of playing spaces, whereupon at least one type of playing piece is provided with a different move pattern. Each set also includes at least one playing piece which causes other pieces under its influence to transpose. The rules providing for the transposition of pieces may result in several of the pieces being moved during a single player's turn. The object of the game is to place a specific opponent's playing piece in a capture position, somewhat analogous to the checkmate of chess.
