Abstract: A game for two players including a flat board (10) on which is delineated a uniform rectilinear grid (14, 16) defining eight adjacent rows and columns of square spaces (18). Each space is associated with one of four types of zones. A home zone (24a,b) spans each of the northern and southern ends of the grid, immediately in front of the players. A side zone (44) is located at each of the eastern and western ends of the grid, extending between the opposed home zones. A safe zone (46) of contiguous spaces is centered on the grid, and the remaining spaces constitute the playing zone (48). Each player controls a plurality of game pieces (26) having distinct values (28,30,32,34) indicating the number of spaces the piece can move during a turn. The pieces are initially placed in the home zone (24), and can move diagonally as well as rebound off other pieces or zone boundaries.
