ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus comprising a playing board having a grid of interconnected segments depicting a plurality of selectable movement paths. Certain areas of the grid are differently colored. Each player has a position marker for movement along the paths towards the colored areas. The position markers are adapted to hold a set of progress markers. These progress markers are also differently colored to correspond with the colored areas. Upon arriving at a colored area, a player receives a correspondingly colored progress marker and places it on his/her position marker. A first chance device having movement direction indicia controls the direction of movement of the position marker. A second change device controls the magnitude of the movement. The game apparatus further comprises a third chance device bearing colors corresponding to the colors of the progress markers. According to the rules, players may capture opponent's progress markers by utilizing the third chance device.
