Abstract:

The present invention relates to a board game and method of playing the game. The game involves a strategic means for defining paths along the game board. The game board is preferably configured as 9. times. 9 lines, creating 64 squares with a black cross piece in the center. Each of the squares is raised, creating a recess therein in which pieces can be inserted. The inserted pieces include pawns and connector pieces. The connector pieces can either be I-shaped, L-shaped or T-shaped, or cross-shaped. Each player is provided with a set of pawns and connector elements as described above. The object of the game is to start at the center cross section, each player to continue with his pawn and connector piece, thereby defining the paths that the next player can take. The game is played until an opponent can move no further, or the opponent with the fewest pieces on hand at the end of the game wins.
