  • Patent number: 4486021
    Abstract: A game which uses two (2) sets of player pieces, one set for each player. The game is played with two (2) players, each opposing the other. The playing pieces are arranged on a playing surface, or game board, which is comprised of evenly spaced checkered squares thereon. Each player has the same number of playing pieces evenly distributed on a portion of half the board and facing the player tokens of the opposite party. The object of the game is to capture the player tokens of the other party by either eliminating and taking the player token of the other party or completely surrounding and immobilizing it. A player can capture an opponent's token by placing two of his tokens on the same square that one of his opponent's tokens is located. A player can immobilize an opponent's token by placing two tokens on all squares adjacent to the square on which the opponent's token is located. The games includes dice for indicating the advancement of player tokens in a selected direction.
