Board game apparatus

Abstract

Abstract The game board consists of a plurality of concentric circles defining playing spaces therebetween and with the spaces subdivided into sub-divisions on which subdivisions the play takes place between typically two or more players of different pieces such as two players one having the black forces and the other having the white forces, the object being to capture and convert to one''s own forces the forces of the opponent. Pieces of different color are each assigned direction capability according to color. Similarly, differently colored spaces differ in potential capability of moving up to a prescribed predetermined number of serially consecutive moves per turn, no piece being able to land on or pass a space on which its own kind is located and thereby being blocked possibly against a maximum number of moves in a given direction unless there is no other move available, and an opponent piece being capturable and thereby convertible and immediately movable as a continuance of the present move by virtue of a piece landing on a subspace on which the opponent piece is located, vertical and diagonal movement being in a radially optionally outwardly or inwardly direction and each diagonal and horizontal move being in only one direction, a vertical move being continuable in a same vertical subdivision column during a move when spaces run out for a particular vertical move, the move continuing by starting again from the central area, the preferred different capabilities of subspaces being indicated by differences in color, and preferably a playing piece being convertible to an opponent playing piece by merely inverting the same when captured.
