ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus is disclosed which includes an inner game board with a plurality of territorial representations thereon and a grid system dividing the surface into a plurality of grid segments, and an outer game board having a plurality of playing positions around the periphery of the game board. The apparatus also includes a plurality of player markers for movement around the periphery of the outer game board in accordance with preselected game rules. A plurality of player tokens are provided for movement within the grid segments of the inner game board in accordance with a preselected set of game rules. A plurality of instruction cards are provided to instruct players to take certain actions in accordance with the preselected game rules. Movement of the player markers and the player tokens is primarily controlled by the roll of a die. A random signal generating device is provided whereby random signal designations can be generated in response to the action of two different players and the random signal can be decoded to provide instructions to the players to take certain actions within the grid segments of the inner board. Players seek to occupy and capture the territories represented on the inner board to use them as bases for a strategic war-like portion of the game in which the players seek to destroy the opponents' territories and the player tokens thereon. The game is ended when only one player still possesses player tokens within the grid segments of the inner board.
