    Abstract: A game board, similar to a checker board, includes 10 squares on edge, and two sets of playing pieces, moved by opposing players on opposite sides of the board. Each player moves his pieces against the other's, and upon encounter, captures the respective pieces. The pieces are respectively pegs and rings, and upon capture, the pieces involved--a peg and a ring--are interfitted in vertically stacked position, to show the capture. The upper piece is the captor, and the lower piece the captive. A captive piece can be re-captured, and that step indicated by a piece like the original captive piece, put atop the first captor piece.
