The players play repeatedly in predetermined order, each player moving a single marker to any unoccupied space on the game board apparatus, each board having plural aligned spaces not less than three in number in each of perpendicular directions. A board level is eliminated as to any player when that player has no more than three markers remaining on that board level, and a board level is eliminated as to all players when only one player has more than three markers remaining on that level. The last player having more than three markers remaining on the last active board level is the winner of the game. Captures of another player's markers is accomplished by surrounding of the captured marker in any of specified manners. A captured marker is removed from play permanently.
