Abstract:

A novel board game utilizing a two-dimensional game board having a plurality of bi-directional rotatable wheels with spaces for player movement arranged on the circumference of the wheel surface. Numbered cards determine the orientation and resulting magnitude of rotation of the wheels. Two dice randomly determine player movement. Each player is assigned a plurality of playing tokens and a wheel of origin. A path of play begins in a "START" circle on the periphery of a player's wheel and proceeds in a defined path around said wheel back to the "HOME" circle. A detour in the path of movement from a player's wheel to an opponent's wheel is through unidirectional alleyways. A path change occurs when the wheels are rotated, moving a player's token to a new position on the board. The object of the game is to be the first player to get all of his or her tokens to the "HOME" space.
