ABSTRACT:
A board game type game apparatus is provided by a game board having a plurality of defined stations and a plurality of playing pieces which interact with the playing stations to indicate in which direction and for how many stations a playing piece may be moved on subsequent moves. Each playing piece includes a plurality of apertures in its upper surface and a movable substrate mounted below the apertures having a predetermined pattern of light and dark areas. The pattern in combination with the apertures determines the direction of moves and the number of stations which that playing piece may be moved. The game board includes a mechanism for moving the substrate relative to the apertures so that, after each move, new information may be provided to indicate a different direction of travel and number of stations to be traversed on a subsequent move. Opposing playing pieces are captured by a proper move which terminates on a station occupied by an opponent's playing piece, which is then removed from play.
