ABSTRACT:
A game device utilizing the old and well known concept of connecting adjacent dots of a matrix of dots by utilizing a connecting line formed by a player during his period of play. In this known type of game device, the matrix of dots is usually arranged periodically in a horizontal and vertical array with the purpose of the game being to complete more squares than an opponent. The present invention provides a tri-level gameboard with each level having a number of dots thereon with each level also including a predetermined number of fixed and optional "stops" that are distinguishable by color and/or configuration to prevent a player from capturing the enclosed shape, such as a square, triangle or the like having any side composed of a "stop" thereby introducing the use of skill and strategic planning by the players inasmuch as a player, by judicious use of the "stops" can decisively control the outcome of the game.
