ABSTRACT:
An electronic board game includes a playing board having a surface upon which a matrix of squares are defined. The board squares are divided into three categories. One category of squares include several groups of six contiguous squares each with each group having a group color. The second category comprises single squares spaced apart and of different colors. The remaining squares define the third category. A handheld controller includes a microprocessor which is programmed to impose a set of game rules. Player tokens are used by each player to mark each player's position on the board. Under microprocessor control and prompting, the actions and conduct of the game are carried forward.
