ABSTRACT:
An improved method for playing a board game consisting of three boards each having 3 rows and 3 columns of squares and the boards stacked on top of one another with each board forming arranged together there are 3 rows by 3 columns by 3 vertical boards for a total of 27 squares. The game is played with two or more players. Each player has a set of normal pieces and a "star piece" distinguishable from the normal pieces. The goal of each player is to be the first to complete the formation of three straight lines each with three two normal pieces and a "star piece" randomly selected. The three straight lines can be diagonal, vertical, or horizontal in any direction. The "star piece" can only be played on the "star point", which is the middle square of the middle board. Another version of the game has four boards with two possible star points, one which is the middle square of the board next to the top board and one which is the middle square of the board next to the bottom board. Each player would have one star piece. There are a number of variants of the game. One would allow any player to play his star piece on either empty star point. Another variant of the game with only two players, would assign one star point to one player and the other star point to the other player.
