ABSTRACT:
A boardless maze game is disclosed. The game is played on any suitable and substantially flat surface. Apparatus comprises a deck of 28 "L" shaped playing pieces, a deck holder for holding a deck of stacked playing pieces and a plurality of identifying markers. The playing pieces are marked with a heavy border to define a wall. The heavy border is interrupted in three places to define an exit. The playing pieces are marked on both sides, with one side being a mirror image of the other, so that the playing piece may be turned over and played on either side. A maze is constructed from the playing pieces, the maze being started by the placement of a first playing piece upon the playing surface by the first player in turn. The object of the game is to move a marker so as to escape from the maze through an exit as the construction of the maze continues. Rules are provided covering the playing of the game and include rules for team playing and match playing. The game also includes the occurrence or construction of "courtyards" and applicable rules are also provided therefor.
