Abstract
A game board and method of play. The game board and method of play include a board having indentations that can each support a marble. The indentations form starting groups, diagonal groups, sets, and home groups, which allows a player to move the marbles along several paths. The first player to move all of their respective marbles from the starting group to the home group, wins the game. Each player has the option of attempting to traverse the diagonal groups to shorten the pathway. However, rolling a certain number of the dice is required to pass through. A first color marked indentation indicates the position the marbles leave the starting groups, and also provides protection from killing by other player's marbles when they attempt to occupy the same indentation.
