Abstract:
A war strategy game comprising:a playing surface that forms first and second polar matrixes, each of said matrixes having substantially radial paths and substantially latitudinal paths, each of said matrixes having a center and a perimeter, each of said radial paths extending between said center and said perimeter of its said matrix, said paths on said first matrix defining a first array of occupiable positions, and said paths on said second matrix defining a second array of occupiable positions, each of said occupiable positions having at least one set of opposed adjacent positions, and said perimeters of said matrixes being adapted to align to form at least one set of aligned radial paths between said matrixes, said set of aligned radial paths including an aligned radial path from each of said matrixes; a set of first and second transporters, said first transporter being located on said first matrix, and said second transporter being located on said second matrix, a plurality of first and second markers, each of said markers having an occupied position located at one of said occupiable positions, and said arrays including several unoccupied positions; and, wherein each of said markers is movable from its said occupied position along a path of travel including one of either one said radial paths and one of said latitudinal paths to one of said unoccupied positions, said path of travel of one of said markers at one of said positions on said set of aligned radial paths including movement between said first and second polar matrixes along said set of aligned radial paths, and said transporters allowing permissible paths of travel that include movement between each of said positions of said first matrix and any of said positions of said second matrix, and wherein said first markers capture one of said second markers when said first markers occupy said at least one set of opposed adjacent positions of that one said second marker, and said second markers capture one of said first markers when said second markers occupy said at least one set of opposed adjacent positions of that one said first marker.
