  • Patent number: 9597581
    Abstract: A board game that combines the traditional Asian counting system of tally marks; basic addition skills; vertical and horizontal tracking of tally numeral combinations; and strategic sequential placement of same-color Game Tiles is disclosed. Generally, the goal is to place five same-color game tiles in a sequential row or column—and have their collective tally sum equal to the white tally numeral on the black tiles that flank both ends of the sequential row or column. The center of the Game Board has a total of 25 squares (five rows and five columns of five squares each) providing 10 options for players to make a winning combination of five sequential same-color game tiles. Players take turns, one at a time moving clockwise around the table, placing one colored game tile on one Game Board square, simultaneously blocking their opponents game play options while increasing their strategic advantage (see Game Play instructions below).
