Each playing surface has a plurality of receptacles arranged in substantially identical patterns for positioning playing pieces. Receptacles on one playing surface have respective electrical terminals for common connection to one terminal of an A.C. power source while the receptacles on a second playing surface have respective electrical terminals adapted to be connected to an opposite polarity terminal of the A.C. power source. The playing pieces have a pair of electrical contacts with a first diode connected thereacross, and a second diode and an electrically powered light source also connected across said contacts with the anode of one diode and the cathode of the other diode being commonly connected to the same contact. Each of the playing pieces has one of its contacts positioned to contact a receptacle terminal and its other contact positioned to be brought into electrical contact connection with the other contact of a playing piece positioned in a corresponding receptacle on a second playing surface whereby both light sources are energized.
