Abstract
A multiple-level board invasion game with game piece armaments and personnel comprising an upwardly extended and rigid pedestal; at least two transparent and stacked game boards, each game board having a matrix of spaces with each matrix of each board being of equal size and with the spaces of each matrix defining a level for battle; and a set of game pieces positionable on the levels for battle with the game pieces representing armaments and personnel.
Claims3
A multiple-level board invasion game with game piece armaments and personnel comprising, in combination:
- an upwardly extended and rigid pedestal having an upper end, a lower end, and intermediate location defined therebetween;
- a first game board, a second game board, and a third game board, each game board being equally sized, square, and transparent, each game board having an upper surface and a lower surface and a peripheral edge therearound defined by a home side adapted to be positioned adjacent to a home player, an opponent side adapted to be positioned adjacent to an opponent player, an opposed side edges extended between the home side and the opponent side, each game board delineated by a 9.times.9 matrix of square spaces inscribed on the upper surface thereof with each matrix on each board being of equal size and with the spaces thereof defining a level for battle, each level further delineated by a pair of broadened, spaced, and parallel lines extended across the 9.times.9 matrix to divide each level into three equal portions such that the broadened line positioned nearest the home side is defined as the home front and the broadened line positioned nearest the opponent side is defined as the opponent home front, each portion divided by a pair of broadened, spaced, and parallel lines extended between the home edge and the opponent edge and aligned with the matrix to divide each portion into three equal sectors with the sectors each a consisting of a 3.times.3 matrix of square spaces, the first game board coupled to the lower end of the pedestal to define a base adapted to rest on a generally level surface and further define a first level for battle at sea, the second board coupled to the intermediate location of the pedestal directly above and aligned with the first game board to define a second level for battle on land, and the third game board coupled to the upper end of the pedestal directly above and aligned with the second game board to define a third level for battle in air;
- and
- a set of 72 game pieces having a first subset of 36 home game pieces initially positioned near the home side and a second subset of 36 opponent game pieces initially positioned near the opponent side to start a game with the game pieces in each subset representing two below surface missiles, two submarines, two destroyers, and three aircraft carriers with the surface missiles, submarines, destroyers, and aircraft carriers positionable for battle on the first level, a patriot, ten soldiers, two surface missiles, two cannon, two tanks, a general, a president, a congress, and an intercontinental ballistic missile with the patriot, soldiers, surface missiles, cannons, tanks, general, president, congress, and intercontinental ballistic missile positionable for battle on the second level, and three fighter planes, two fighter bombers, and a bomber with the fighter planes, fighter bombers, and bomber positionable for battle on the third level.
A multiple-level board invasion game with game piece armaments and personnel comprising, in combination:
- an upwardly extended and rigid pedestal;
- at least two transparent game boards, each game board having a matrix of spaces with each matrix of each board being of equal size and with the spaces of each matrix defining a level for battle, each level being further delineated by a first pair of broadened, spaced, and parallel lines extending across and aligned with the matrix to divide each level into equal portions, one broadened line is defined as the home front and the other broadened line is defined as the opponent home front;
- and
- a set of game pieces positionable on the levels for battle with the game pieces representing armaments and personnel.

- a set of game pieces positionable on the levels for battle with the game pieces representing armaments and personnel;
- and
- each level of each game board being divided by a second pair of broadened, spaced, and parallel lines extending across the matrix at an orientation perpendicular to the first pair to divide the level into sectors.
