ABSTRACT:
A playing board (10) is provided which includes a pattern of areas (16), each area (16) including a pattern of position marks (18). A deck of cards (34) is shuffled and dealt face down, one card on each of the areas (16). The cards (34) are turned over in the play of the game. A first type of card (34) identifies a planet. When such a card (34) is revealed it is removed from the board (10) and replaced with a planet identifying marker (52). A second type of card (34) identifies an asteroid or some other obstacle. When such a card (34) is encountered it is removed from the board (10) and an obstacle identifying marker (50) is set in its place. The remaining cards (34) merely indicate space and they are removed from the board (10) to expose the areas (16) and position marks (18) below them. The game (10) is then played with the playing surface of the board (10) comprising the planets, the obstacles and surrounding space.
