ABSTRACT:
An upright board having a plurality of through holes arranged in a symmetrical grid pattern and a plurality of pegs positionable in the holes by opposing game participants. The board is oriented in a vertical or upright position between opposing game participants to place pegs in the holes in the board in accordance with special dice and rules of play. In one embodiment, the board is supported by a pair of laterally extending trays hingedly connected to the lower portion of the board and including an area for receiving the dice and compartments for storing the pegs in accordance with distinguishable colors on the pegs. The trays are hinged to the board slightly above the bottom edge thereof so that when the trays are disposed in vertical position alongside the board and secured in place, the lower end of the board will project beyond the trays with the projecting edge of the board including a handle structure incorporated therein to facilitate the game device being carried or handled. In another embodiment, the board is detachably supported on the tray in a vertical position and can be slid onto the tray in horizontal position for use as a closure. The object of the game is to orient pegs of a particular color in a vertical, horizontal or diagonal row of a predetermined number of pegs with the central hole on the board being designated a starting hole or position. Score recording holes are also provided in the board for receiving score pegs.
