Abstract
A game apparatus of chance and strategy, the game board having a plurality of beginning sections, a plurality of first, second and third intermediate sections, and an ending section. Each beginning section includes a series of similarly-identified locations assigned to a player. Each first intermediate section includes a series of locations and is contiguous with a corresponding one of the beginning sections. Each second intermediate section is similarly identified with predetermined locations in the first intermediate sections. Each third intermediate section includes a series of locations and is contiguous with a corresponding one of the second intermediate sections and separately connected to the ending section. The markers for a player are similarly-identified with predetermined sections and locations of the game board. The purpose of the game is to score their player markers by safely maneuvering them from the beginning section to the ending section. To determine increments of movement and elimination of player markers a pair of dice and one cube of six different colors, or a pair of cubes, each with six different colors, and one die are used.
