ABSTRACT:
A board game apparatus for play by three players or groups of players which includes a game board bearing a substantially rectangular maze thereon. The maze is divided into a number of spaces or steps and includes a number of blocking positions. Residence strips are delineated or formed adjacent three sides of the maze. On the residence strips are delineated number of residence positions. Starting positions are delineated on the remaining fourth side of the maze. Play of the game is dictated by dice. A marker is placed on one of the residence positions on each of the three residence strips. This marker is designated a Residence. The object of the game is to move a marker or token from a starting position through the maze to visit the space directly in front of a Residence, a Doorstep. The dice also determine the opportunity for a player to place or move a blocking marker into a blocking position on the maze and thereby impede the movement of the other players token. Points or "Bugs" are scored by visiting the doorstep of all three Residence on the board in any order. Also included on the game board are blocking and scoring marker holding rows, a dice storage area, a visit-indicator, a Bug counter, and a token holding device.
