Abstract:

A board game apparatus for playing a simulated skill game involving at least two players. A first game portion displays the progress of play of the simulated skill game and a second game portion a multiple choice strategy game which affects and determines in part the progress of play of the simulated skill game. The second game portion includes a playing board, and first and second groups of playing pieces, designations on the playing board indicating positions suitable for being occupied by the playing pieces, indicia associated with certain ones of the designations identifying plays of the simulated skill game, and game motivators usable by the players in alternating turns to produce movement indications. The positioning of the first and second groups of playing pieces relative to the designations at the beginning of each player's turn in combination with the movement indication produced by each player through use of the game motivators determines available play options in a particular turn. Selection of one of the available play options by one of the players in a particular turn determines the movement and positioning of the playing pieces controlled by such player.
