  • Patent number: 4340232
    Abstract: A game is played by opposing players on an apparatus having a plurality of sets of movable playing pieces. The game board may have an abacus-like structure. The method of using the game board assigns hierarchical values to playing pieces on either side of a central divider, the playing pieces being movable from an open to an active position and vice versa. The board structure provides means for withdrawing a number of playing pieces from a set in an active position subsequent to a confrontation with an opposing set in accordance with the established hierarchy. At the conclusion of play the player having the largest number of remaining active playing pieces is determined to be the winner.
