Three dimensional game

Abstract

A game including a base, nine elongated pegs disposed substantially perpendicularly to the base and arranged on the base in spaced relation in three discrete groupings. There is further provided a plurality of pieces each having a hole therethrough which is adapted to accommodate any one of the pegs. The game is readily adaptable to various types of scoring and hence, the present invention provides a game which may be played at various degrees of difficulty. In one embodiment, the pieces are provided in two sets of equal number and contrasting colors and an extra "wild" piece of a third discrete color is also provided. In a further embodiment, the pieces in the two sets are selectively provided with additional first, second and third indicia to subdivide each of the sets into three subsets. Prior to the start of the game, the "wild" piece is preferably randomly assigned to one of the two players and during the course of the game in which pieces of the two sets are alternately placed on the pegs, the "wild" piece may be so placed and allowed to represent any given indicia.
