ABSTRACT:
A football type strategy game for two players having a playing surface and movable pieces made up of an offensive unit which plays in turn against opponent's defensive unit. The offensive unit has a Runner piece and Guard pieces and the defensive unit has Tackle pieces. The playing surface has two sets of spaces and a network of routeways connecting one set of spaces to each other and surrounding the other set of spaces. The Runner moves through certain controlled routeways. Guards and Tackles move along both sets of spaces and control routeways surrounding their resting spaces. One set of spaces has three positions in each space that Guards and Tackles rest on: a central position which allows a piece total control of surrounding routeways and movement to another space and two secondary positions which restrict a piece from further movement and diminish control of routeways surrounding that space. Each routeway can be subject to either Guard and/or Tackle control. The object of the game is for the offensive unit to secure and control routeways and spaces that will enable the Runner to advance towards the opponent's end of the board, each advancement scoring points, while the defensive unit tries to secure routeways and spaces that will restrict movement of opponent's Runner. Play continues until Runner reaches the opponent's end of the board or is captured by the defensive unit.
