ABSTRACT:
A game wherein a plurality of playing pieces are moved upon a game board grid by opposing players until one player has captured a pre-selected number of the opponent's playing pieces. The game board has an elevated border surrounding a central recessed area. A plurality of space pieces fit interchangeably within the recessed area to obtain variable and distinct playing patterns. Each space is one of a number of colors, one color being designated as a neutral color. The playing pieces are segregated into bumping pieces and jumping pieces. One of each such piece is correspondingly colored to the colors of the space pieces. The pieces are moved about the board, singly or in stacks of any size and configuration to any adjacent unoccupied space, or if an adjacent space is of the neutral color, to any unoccupied space which may be reached through any number of connected, unoccupied neutral spaces. Capture is made by bumping or jumping; a bumping piece bumping onto a similarly colored adjacent space presently occupied by opponent's piece or stack; or a jumping piece jumping over an adjacent space presently occupied by opponent's piece or stack into a space the same color as the jumping piece. Pieces of the neutral color may jump and bump onto any color space, and any color piece may jump or bump onto a space of the neutral color.
