Abstract

A foldable baseboard is provided with sixteen fixed tablets, arranged in regular rows. Thirty-three movable tablets are placed in the spaces between the fixed tablets, to make a 7.times.7 square. The tablets are marked out with roads to define paths along which counters may be moved, towards a target tablet. One extra movable tablet is provided, by means of which a player can push a row of the movable tablets, thus improving the road layout, and enabling him to move his counter towards the target. The game apparatus includes target cards, and game money.
