An apparatus for use in playing a game includes a game board comprising first and second arrays of points. Both arrays are two-dimensional. The first array includes n points in a first direction and (n + 1) points in a second direction, respectively, where n is an integer. The second array includes (n + 1) points in the first direction and n points in the second direction. The two arrays are arranged interjacent one another, and the points of the first array are distinguishable from the points of the second array. The apparatus further includes a plurality of game playing pieces, each of which has two pairs of points defining a quadrilateral array. The points of each pair are located generally across the quadrilateral array from one another. Each piece further includes first and second direction indicators. The first direction indicator indicates a direction between the points of the first pair and the second direction indicator indicates a direction between the points of the second pair. The first direction indicator is identifiable with the points of the first array on the game board. The second direction indicator is identifiable with the points of the second array on the game board.
Apparatus for a game comprising a game board having a first array of points, the first array having dimensions n by (n + 1) in first and second directions, respectively, where n is an integer, and a second array of points distinguishable from the first points, the second array having dimensions (n + 1) in the first and second directions, respectively, the points of the second array being interpositioned with the points of the first, and a plurality of game pieces, each piece including a first pair of points and a first direction indicator, the first direction indicator indicating a direction between the points of the first pair and being identifiable with the points of the first array, a second pair of points, and a second direction indicator indicating a direction between the points of the second pair and being identifiable with the points of the second array.
Apparatus for a game including a game board comprising first and second arrays of points, both arrays extending in first and second directions, the first array having dimensions n by (n + 1) in the first and second directions, respectively, and the second array having dimensions (n + 1) by n in the first and second directions, respectively, where n is an integer and the first and second directions are perpendicular to one another, the points of the second array interjacent the points of the first, and the points of the first array being distinguishable from the points of the second array, and a plurality of game pieces comprising first and second pairs of points defining a quadrilateral array, the points of each pair being located generally diagonally across the array from one another, and first and second direction indicators, the first direction indicator indicating a direction generally parallel to a line extending between the points of the first pair and the second direction indicator indicating a direction generally parallel to a line extending between the points of the second pair, the first direction indicator being identifiable with the points of the first array on the game board and the second direction indicator being identifiable with the points of the second array on the game board.
