Abstract: Game cards for use with a game board which has separate movement zones for each player, each zone having multiple confined locations for movement of markers therein. The game cards have movement instructions consisting of two symbols representing separate but concurrent move options for a player using the card. Card symbols are also used to identify which of the various movement zones may be played by the particular player, thereby permitting players to exercise move options based on strategy and marker positioning. Several distinguishable classes of symbols are used on a single card to provide options based on different combinations of such symbols.

Abstract: Game apparatus including a gameboard having an arrangement of pairs of columns, each column pair having its members aligned in opposing orientation and being arranged in side-by-side relation to others pairs of columns, each column being broken into segments for defining movement positions for markers along each column length. A center line divides the gameboard into two opposing sides, with each side having a forward section with segments highlighted to distinguish them from segments of a rearward section. Markers are placed in each segment of the rearward section and forward movement of such markers is initiated by player involvement in drawing a card, spinning a pointer, or throwing dice to determine the player's right to move into the forward section. In a preferred use of the subject game apparatus, the object of play is to locate all of one's markers in the forward section of any given column.
