    Abstract: Disclosed is a three-dimensional board game for two or more players. The game may also be easily adapted to be a video game. The game board is a flat surface with upstanding pegs arranged on the base in rows and intersecting columns. The pegs may be detachable from the board surface. The board surface may include indicia for playing another game such as chess, checkers, or backgammon in addition to an array of holes for receiving removable pegs. The pegs are adapted to receive beads with a central aperture drilled through them. The beads are marked to be associated with a particular player, with two or more players being possible. According to the game rules, the beads are separated into one set for each player. The players in turn place one bead on any of the pegs. To win the game, a player must align, in an uninterrupted sequence, a specific number of beads, either horizontally, diagonally or vertically.
