Abstract: A game and the game apparatus are disclosed. The game apparatus comprises a game board, a plurality of cards or the like which are deployed on said game board and a plurality of identifier playing pieces. Each of the cards has a plurality of line segments marked thereon. Each end of the line segments on a card extends to an edge of the card. The line segments on each card or the like are generally curved line segments; however, one or more or all of the line segments on a given card may be straight lines. The playing area of the game board is divided into a plurality of quadrangles, preferably squares, having the same size as the size of the cards. To begin the game, each player in turn places a card on the game board such that one end of the line segment touches an edge of the game board playing area. The edges of the playing area of the game board contain a plurality of start marks. The line selected by each player is aligned with one of these start marks and that line then becomes that player's line.
