Abstract
A game for play by at least two opposing players, includes a game board and a plurality of game pieces, having indicia integrated therein for determining the direction of movement of the game piece on the game board. During play the game pieces are stacked upon capturing of an opposing player's game piece. The number of game pieces in a stack determines the distance of movement in a respective direction on the game board which the stack may move.
