Abstract: A game apparatus comprises a board having a playing area divided into two cartels. Each cartel is allocated an equal number of weighted contest tokens which are placed within each cartel. Players wager contest tokens in successive rounds of play. A spinner determines whether contest tokens wagered for each turn will be removed from or added to the playing area. The number of tokens wagered are determined by player selected groups of transaction outcomes and a chance device. Contest tokens removed from the playing area are placed on a designated side of a calibrated scale. With the completion of each turn, the balance or imbalance of the scale determines the odds of the outcomes for each cartel in the following turn. Cards from one of two sets are drawn by each cartel at the end of each turn, one set for the cartel achieving the greatest disarmament in the turn, the other set for the other cartel. Each cartel may accumulate cards for redemption at a later turn.
