Abstract

A board game apparatus including a pair of dice and from two to eight pieces of play (boxers). The game board playing area is defined as a twelve by twelve grid of perpendicularly intersecting lines of holes. Some or all of the pieces of play (boxers) are entered into play on the game board's playing area by the players. The pieces of play (boxers) move according to the throw of the dice. One die indicates movement along a grid line and the other die indicates movement along another grid line perpendicular to the first grid line. Thus, the pieces of play move along the game board surface following an "L" move pattern. The players position their pieces of play (boxers) according to the game rules, to eliminate opposing pieces of play (boxers) until only one remains. That remaining one is the winner.
