Abstract
A game board including a playing surface having a plurality of apertures extending through the entire thickness thereof. An underlay provided with various game-playing indicia is retained beneath the playing surface so that the game-playing indicia contained on the underlay are positioned beneath at least some of the apertures in the playing surface. The game board includes a plurality of light transmitting playing pieces adapted to be received in the apertures formed in the playing surface. The playing pieces contact the underlay and transmit the game-playing indicia from the underlay to the playing surface, thereby displaying the otherwise hidden game-playing indicia to the game players.
