ABSTRACT:
A game for two or more players includes a playing board, having a plurality of spaced playing positions identified by different indicia, two or more sets of moveable playing pieces and a random indicium generator such as a die. When playing the game, a first player obtains an indicium and positions one of his pieces on the board playing position identified by that indicium. The first player then proceeds to obtain a second indicium and positions another of his pieces in the board playing position identified by the second indicium. If the second indicium is the same as the first indicium, the first player removes his piece already on the board and gives way to the second player. Otherwise, the first player keeps on playing until he runs out of pieces, or he has to remove a player piece, or he decides to give way to the second player. The second player similarly obtains an indicium and positions one of his pieces on the board playing position identified by the indicium obtained. However, if position is already filled by a player piece, it must be removed and added to the second player's pieces. It then becomes the next player's turn. Otherwise, the second player keeps playing until he runs out of pieces, or he has to remove one of the pieces on the board or he decides to give way to the first player. The winner of the game is the player who first runs out of pieces.
