Abstract
A game board with two sets of side-by-side rows of color designated spaces and the rows of one set of spaces crossed relative to the rows of the other set of rows is provided. Alternating spaces of each row are of two different colors and the crossed rows are arranged whereby the color of the spaces at the intersections of each pair of crossed rows coincides with the alternate color spacing of these rows. A plurality of game pieces equal in number to at least one less than the total number of the spaces of one color on the game board are provided and positionable on a corresponding number of the spaces of one color preparatory to the start of the game. The game is played by successive movement of the pieces to jump an adjacent piece for removal thereof until only one game piece remains on the board.
