ABSTRACT:
A game apparatus for playing a strategic game of economic and political development includes a game board organized in a map format wherein ficticious continental regions are located in an ocean region. The continental regions are sub-divided into territories, and the map is overlaid with a gridwork of lines defining a matrix of sectors. The territories are distinguishably indexed and some of the territory are indexed with markings designating native resources. A set of territory cards indentify the territories, and a set of resource cards, some of which have additional resource designations, are in one-to-one correspondence with the territory cards. Each player has a scoresheet which accumulates point factors; each scoresheet is organized as a chart of point factor category rows which relate to developmental characteristics, and the rows are formed in sequential columns corresponding to rounds of play. Some of the point factor categories are correlated to one another and to the resource designations to define limits on point factor allocations. Chance event cards affect the point factor allocations which a player makes. A masking marker is used to block some sectors according to chance cards which also control battles between adversarial players with battles being registered on a separate battle sheet. Conflict modifier cards may be used to alter battle results, and monetary units are used to represent financial transactions.
