ABSTRACT:
The invention herein is apparatus for a board game which simulates international military conflict. The game comprises a playing board which includes a map illustrating the principal oceans, nations and geographical area of the world with indicia assigning each nation to a continental region. The ocean portion of the map is overlaid by a first network of cells and the land portion of the map is overlaid by a second network of cells, the second network also indicating relative military strengths of the nations. Some of said nations on the map contain indicia designating missile facilities therein. The map is bordered by a path comprising spaces each identifying one of the nations on the map and other spaces denoting enhanced movement along the path. The game also contains playing pieces for individual movement by each player along the path in the course of said game; pieces representing individual military or naval forces; pieces designating nuclear annihilation of a nation; and designators determining each player's permitted movement along the path during the game. As a player moves, in most turns a military opportunity occurs for the player with respect to the other players, each opportunity being determined by the path space on which the player's piece resides and the number of other pieces, geography and missile facilities then associated with the nation represented by the path space.
