ABSTRACT:
A board game for two players includes a board with a rectangular grid of discrete playing positions denoted thereon to form a central playing zone, and a line of discrete scoring positions denoted thereon to form a scoring zone on each end and each side of the playing zone. Each scoring position is marked with a number denoting its value. A set of game pieces is provided for each player, and the pieces are marked with numbers to denote values corresponding to scoring position values. The opposing end scoring zones comprise starting zones, and the pieces are initially placed on like-valued positions within each starting zone. The allowed movement of a piece on each turn is dictated by its value, with the object being to place each piece in a like-valued scoring position in a side zone or in the scoring zone opposite the starting zone. A game ends when one player has all his pieces so positioned, and a point score is awarded each player in relation to the value of each piece in a scoring position. All game pieces remain on the board throughout the game, and are defensively deployed to block opponent's moves as they are maneuvered into scoring positions.
