Abstract
This game is unique, in that it will simulate the disasters and excitement of an earthquake, and it is competitive in play. It consists primarily of a board with positions to be played on, and a multiple number of simulated building structures may be placed on four squares that represent cities. It further includes player-operated mechanisms, which will tilt the squares, so as to simulate an earthquake, and the building structures may include pegs, for preventing them from toppling, when the squares are tilted.
