Abstract: A board game apparatus having a playing area divided by horizontal and vertical demarcations which form recessed spaces for receiving numbered blocks as they are transferred from strip spaces into which a limited and non-replenishable quantity of numbered blocks have been previously placed. The strip spaces are on the same game board as the playing area but in distinct strip areas. The numbered blocks are transferred to the playing area spaces to form a series of rows or columns in which the numbered blocks of each row or column add up to the same sum.
