ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for playing a board game which includes two distinguishable sets of playing pieces, each set being assigned to one player of the game, and a playing surface divided into a grid-like array of playing spaces, surrounded by a border region. Various playing spaces are distinctively marked so as to create starting spaces, destination spaces, and holding zones for the respective sets of playing pieces. Movement of pieces is governed by the rolling of a pair of dice so designed as to offer fewer permutations than could occur from the rolling of conventional dice, resulting in a game wherein the outcome is relatively less dependent on chance and more dependent on skill. The object of the game is to be the first player to successfully move all of his pieces from the starting spaces, to the destination spaces, and finally into the adjacent border region.
