Abstract

A multi-level game is set forth wherein an upper, lower and central board game playing surface are secured together by an upper and lower post wherein each playing surface has formed thereon thirty-six squares of six rows and six columns each. Each board includes a demarcation double line on opposed sides to delineate a first row on each side of each respective game board with each space therein including a marker for indication of Home spaces for each opposing player. Eighteen tokens are provided each player with a six-sided die including six differing colorations thereon associated with six decks of playing cards with each deck of playing cards of a differing coloration equal to that of a die surface. Rolling of the die presents a coloration on a top surface thereof and indicates to alternating players a card to be picked from a corresponding deck associated with the coloration indicated by the top surface of the die. The cards provide instruction and penalty in playing of the game enabling players to utilize tokens along respective and other boards to enable traverse of the varying boards in a three dimensional manner.

Claims

1. A method of playing a multi-level game by two opposing players comprising,

providing a game board including an upper, central and bottom game board wherein each game board is symmetrical, planar, and vertically aligned with one another, and

providing a first and second set of tokens of different coloration with one set utilized by each of said opposing players, and

providing a six-sided die with each face of said die of a different coloration, and

providing six decks of cards wherein each deck is of a different coloration relative to one another and corresponding to a like coloration on each face of said six-sided die, and

initially positioning said first and second tokens by said opposing players on respective ends of respective upper, central, and bottom game boards, and

each player alternatively rolling said die and thereafter moving a respective token relative to instructions imprinted on a top card selected from one of said six decks consistent with the coloration indicated upon the top face of the die subsequent to rolling said die.

2. A method of playing a multi-level game as set forth in claim 1 wherein said game continues until one player eliminates all of the tokens of the opposing player.

3. A method of playing a multi-level game as set forth in claim 2 wherein said step of initially positioning said first and second tokens on respective ends of said game boards includes positioning said tokens on opposing ends of said game board wherein initially each of said first and second tokens are in an aligned vertical relationship relative to tokens on a vertically displaced game board.

4. A method of playing a multi-level game as set forth in claim 3 wherein the step of providing a game board further includes forming each game board with thirty-six spaces and arranging two opposing sides of each game board to include indicators for initially indicating positioning of said tokens.

5. A method of playing a multi-level game as set forth in claim 4 wherein said tokens are repositioned about said game board in orthogonal movements relative to spaces and may be further moved diagonally upon a respective token entering an opposing players initial positioning indicator space.

6. A method of playing a multi-level game as set forth in claim 5 wherein the step of providing six decks of cards includes providing said six decks of cards to each include forty-eight cards.
