Abstract: This invention concerns a game board apparatus comprising a checkerboard pattern of a multiplicity of parallel rows and columns of alternately-colored spaces and a pair of continuous pathways running horizontally and vertically from space-to-space in opposite directions by devious routes from one corner of the board to a diagonally-opposite corner of the board, and means providing a maze of several alternative and dead-end paths deviating from each pathway and designed to confuse the players with respect to the most direct route for movement of a play piece from start to finish of each pathway, the rate of a player's play piece progess from start to finish being determined entirely by chance and player perception.
