Abstract
A game board apparatus for use by two teams of players is provided. The game board apparatus includes a grid of equal sized squares. Two of the squares represent starting points for each of the teams, respectively. Further, two adjacent clusters of squares form reserved areas for each of the two teams, respectively, which permits only the team that owns the reserved area to start a word within the reserved area. A bonus bridge dividing line is positioned between the two reserved areas. Bridging the two arrays emanating from the respective starting points and forming a word which crosses the bonus bridge dividing line yields additional bonus points.
