ABSTRACT:
The specification discloses a game apparatus having at least two identical playing surfaces and playing pieces adapted to releasably engage the playing surfaces. The apparatus also includes means to superimpose the playing surfaces wherein at least one of said playing surfaces is movable from the superimposed position. The playing surfaces and playing pieces are at least partially transparent providing observation of nonoverlapping playing pieces and at least recognition of overlapping playing pieces when the playing surfaces are superimposed. The game structure allows for simultaneous movement of the playing pieces by all players and increases the possibility of confrontation with a number of players. The game apparatus is designed to allow realistic observation from above superimposed playing surfaces, or in some instances, side viewing along the plane of these surfaces. The game apparatus allows for infinite variation of the board surface. The unique game board structure is easily adapted for a number of existing games as well as new games and thus provides a very versatile game apparatus.
