Abstract: Embodiments of a board game of racing, luck, and strategy include a game board providing a plurality of adjacent paths upon which players advance game pieces, with the goal of being the first to remove all of one's game pieces from the game board. Directional game pieces indicate allowable directions of movement as the game pieces are advanced along the paths or from path to path, wherein a special exception provided by rules of the game allows a player to change the directionality of a game piece. Rules of the game further provide for capturing or blocking an opponent's game pieces, as well as for early removal of a portion of one's own game pieces, by creating a variety of formations with the game pieces. Various embodiments of the board game allow for the use of non-directional game pieces, team play, and variations in the game board.
