ABSTRACT:
Game apparatus including a gameboard having an arrangement of pairs of columns, each column pair having its members aligned in opposing orientation and being arranged in side-by-side relation to others pairs of columns, each column being broken into segments for defining movement positions for markers along each column length. A center line divides the gameboard into two opposing sides, with each side having a forward section with segments highlighted to distinguish them from segments of a rearward section. Markers are placed in each segment of the rearward section and forward movement of such markers is initiated by player involvement in drawing a card, spinning a pointer, or throwing dice to determine the player's right to move into the forward section. In a preferred use of the subject game apparatus, the object of play is to locate all of one's markers in the forward section of any given column. By grouping columns into different combinations of side-by-side column arrangements, point values can be assigned for the columns within each group. The gameboard and associated games can be adapted for child level use, or may be utilized for more sophisticated adult players.
