ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for playing a strategy board game that consists of a game board and a predetermined number of movable game pieces. The playing surface comprises a plurality of regions. Each region is defined laterally by the entire width of the playing surface and longitudinally by one of the adjacent regions and the end of the playing surface. One of the regions is a West region that has a first color and includes a first zone and a second zone. The first zone includes a pair of rows, each row includes a plurality of squares. The plurality of squares is defined by perpendicularly disposed longitudinal and transversal grid lines which extend in longitudinal East-West and transversal North-South directions. Each square has a foreground and a background. The foreground is within the grid lines of the square and has one of a third color and a fourth color. The background at least partially surrounds the grid lines of the square. The background color is determined by the color of the region which the square lies within. The background color is one of a first color and a second color. Each of the rows includes a plurality of squares that has a fourth color foreground and one wall disposed over the adjoining background of four squares within the same zone extending longitudinally two squares in length and disposed transversely one square away from another wall in an adjacent zone.
