Abstract

A competitive strategy game playable by two or more players. The illustrated game includes a board defining a plurality of channels arranged adjacent to one another. Each channel has a plurality of positions arranged along the channel. Each player is provided with a set of player pieces, the player pieces of each set being visually distinguishable from the pieces of the other set. For example, the pieces of each set may be difference colors. The players take turns adding one or more of their pieces to selected channels. The channels each include structure to guide the process along the channel. The channels and pieces are proportioned and arranged to that when a piece is added to an already occupied position in a channel, the displaced piece that was in that position is shifted to an adjacent position in the channel, which in turn shifts additional pieces in the channel to new positions. Thus, adding one piece can shift a whole row of pieces along a channel and dramatically change the overall arrangement of the pieces on the board. At least one end of each channel is open to allow a piece on the position adjacent to that end to be displaced from that end position and from the board completely.
