ABSTRACT:
A novel strategy board game and method of play thereof is disclosed. The board game is played on a board having a playing surface arranged as a plurality of squares. The board is arranged as nine rows by five columns of squares. The squares alternate light and dark in checkerboard style. Two players each start a primary playing piece and four guards. The guards operate in pairs, with each player having two pair, and function to both protect a player's primary playing piece and attack the opponent's playing pieces. In the center square of the board sits the crown representing the princess. The object of the game is for a player to be the first to reach the princess with his/her primary playing piece. Players utilize their playing pieces to put squeezes on their opponent's playing pieces. A squeeze functions to force a player to move the squeezed piece. A squeezed playing piece can be rescued by their partner playing piece by raising the squeeze to a royal squeeze. Players rely on their skill and strategy to win, as chance or luck is not an element of the game.
