Abstract A game comprises a checkerboard playing surface with three defined regions, namely, a central region and two starting regions, one on each side of the central region. Each starting region consists of three rows containing three, five and seven playing squares, respectively, the rows increasing in length inwardly of the board. The central region consists of five rows, the three central rows having eleven squares and each outer row having nine squares. Groups of objects, one for each player, are disposed in their respective starting regions completely filling the squares thereof. The objects include identifiable sub-groups and a unique object, all of which may be moved across the playing surface in prescribed ways according to the rules of the game and for the purpose of moving the unique object from its starting region to the starting region of the opponent.

A game comprising a playing surface having eleven rows, each row being formed by discrete equal areas of similar configuration, the first three rows from each of two opposed margins of the playing surface defining discrete regions, the row of each region adjacent to its associated margin containing three areas, the second of said rows containing five areas and the third of said rows containing seven areas, the rows between said discrete regions forming an additional discrete region having two rows with nine areas each and three rows with eleven areas each, the rows with nine areas being adjacent to the first-mentioned discrete regions respectively and the pattern formed by all of said rows being symmetrical relative to perpendicular imaginary lines intersecting at the center of the pattern and a group of objects for initial disposition in each of the first-mentioned regions, the group in each region including a first sub-group of seven similar objects, a second sub-group of five similar objects, a third sub-group of two similar objects and a single unique object and with the similar objects of each sub-group distinguishable from those of the other sub-groups.
