ABSTRACT:
A game including a plurality of playing markers adapted to be arranged in rows and columns. The playing markers include four playing markers having a first indicia thereon, four playing markers having a second indicia thereon, and a single playing marker having both a first and a second indicia thereon. The playing markers are adapted for random distribution in equal numbers to a pair of players with the remaining one of the playing markers defining a starting point, and one of the players selects one of the first and second indicia with the other of the players having the other of the first and second indicia. The one of the players thereafter places one of the playing markers in non-diagonal adjacent relation to the playing marker defining the starting point after which the other of the players places one of the playing markers in non-diagonal adjacent relation to a previously placed playing marker with the playing markers being placed in turn by the players in like fashion to form the rows and columns. With this arrangement, the rows and columns are each limited to a total of three playing markers arranged in a generally rectangular array, and the game winner is the one of the players to be the first with the corresponding one of the selected first and second indicia on the playing markers disposed in a row, a column, or diagonally.
