ABSTRACT:
A board game includes an enclosure having a playing surface containing a plurality of squares in an array, wherein each of said squares is a trap door. The squares on each half of a centerline across the surface are controlled by control panels on opposite sides of the enclosure. Each control panel has a plurality of switch mechanisms connected one each to a square for moving the square out of the plane of the playing surface. The switch mechanisms are actuated by removable buttons fitting within an array of holes in the control panel. The array of holes corresponds to the array of squares on one half of the playing surface. Not all of the holes receive buttons, i.e. the number and location of the buttons is determined by the rules for play, and the buttons can be arranged asymmetrically with respect to the centerline.
