ABSTRACT:
A game board divided into a series of playing spaces which are arranged in a preselected pattern and which are capable of being selectively illuminated during the playing of a game with playing pieces movable on the board. The playing spaces are illuminated by a series of control switches which are mounted at each of four playing spaces extending outwardly from opposite sides of the game board and which correspond in number and arrangement to the playing spaces as viewed from each playing station. A circuit connects the control switches in pairs in such a manner as to cause a playing space to be illuminated when an odd number of control switches for that space are in the on position and to prevent a space from being illuminated when an even number of control switches for that space are in the on position. After the switches have been set at the beginning of each player's turn, electrical power is simultaneously supplied to the game board to illuminate all those playing spaces for which an odd number of switches have been placed in the on position. Preferably, each playing station is provided with a shield to conceal the control switches at one playing station from view by a player situated at a different playing station.
