Abstract
Abstract The invention relates to a board game devised to exercise the powers of concentration and perceptive skill of two players. The board is provided with a grid pattern of apertures each having an identification such as B9, G7, H2, etc. The first player secretly draws two intersecting lines on a replica of the board and allocates one of four characteristics, for example, colors, to each of the four zones defined by the lines. The second player, by requesting to know the color zone allocated to chosen apertures, attempts to identify the point of intersection of the lines, using the identification of minimum possible number of apertures.
