  • Patent number: 4783079
    Abstract: A board game is provided in which a planar playing surface is defined by an array of hexagonal spaces. The hexagonal spaces are grouped together by color. There are twelve different colors, each representing a different "zone." The object of the game is to place as many "starships" as possible in a "zone" and thus, win the "zone". The player winning the most "zones" wins the game. The play is initiated by rolling a colored dodecahedron die and moving a playing piece counterclockwise around the board's perimeter to the color indicated on the die. The player then places the number of "starships" indicated on the corresponding "zone" in order to strategically control that "zone.
