Abstract
Game apparatus comprises a game board together with a plurality of playing pieces each coded to indicate its attribute and value. Three playing pieces of different attributes and different values are stacked to comprise a playing unit. Two players compare the attributes and values of the bottom-most piece of their playing units successively in a number of plays in order to determine the outcome of the game. The game comprises three different groups of attributes having strengths that allow a first group to be stronger than a second, the second group to be stronger than a thrid and the third group to be stronger than the first. In addition, each of the groups of attributes contains three hierarchically ranked groups of different values.
