  • Patent number: 10118086
    Abstract: A game and method of play are provided herein. In an embodiment, a playing field is provided as a board marked with spaces. A plurality of visually different groups of pieces are provided, one group each corresponding to one player, and are placed in a prescribed pattern so that each player begins the game with an equal opportunity to win. A pool of prompts selectably instructing progression of game play is also provided. Each player may construct his own set of prompts from the pool. Then, executing turns in sequence, each player may invoke prompts from his own set against opposing players, causing pieces to be removed from the playing field until only one, indicating the winner, remains. The prompts may be printed on stylized playing cards which may be collectable and/or tradable, so that players may continue to customize sets of prompts available to invoke over time.
