ABSTRACT:
A game played on a game board having an operative configuration of normal squares and special squares, includes a frame and a see-through grid disposed in the frame for releasably receiving game pieces placed thereon and restraining the game pieces against unintended horizontal or vertical displacement. At least one upper planar slide is disposed in a plane below the grid and has normal squares, special squares and see-through squares. At least one lower planar slide is oriented transverse to the upper slide and disposed in a plane below the upper slide, the lower slide having normal squares and special squares (adapted to be viewed through the see-through squares of the upper slide). Optionally, the lower slide also has see-through squares to enable viewing of portions of a conventional game board therebelow (itself having normal and special squares) which can be viewed through the see-through squares of the upper and lower slides when such see-through squares are aligned. The slides together define at least a portion of the game board, each of the slides being mounted in the frame for independent movement in a given plane relative to the other of the slides and to the grid so that the operative configuration of the normal squares and the special squares on the game board may be varied.
