ABSTRACT:
A game for two players including a flat board (10) on which is delineated a uniform rectilinear grid (14, 16) defining eight adjacent rows and columns of square spaces (18). Each space is associated with one of four types of zones. A home zone (24a,b) spans each of the northern and southern ends of the grid, immediately in front of the players. A side zone (44) is located at each of the eastern and western ends of the grid, extending between the opposed home zones. A safe zone (46) of contiguous spaces is centered on the grid, and the remaining spaces constitute the playing zone (48). Each player controls a plurality of game pieces (26) having distinct values (28,30,32,34) indicating the number of spaces the piece can move during a turn. The pieces are initially placed in the home zone (24), and can move diagonally as well as rebound off other pieces or zone boundaries. Scoring is dependent on the number and value of pieces reaching the opponent's home zone, the number and value of pieces captured, the positions of the pieces at the end of the game, and whether captured pieces had previously entered the safe zone to avoid capture.
