MATHEMATICAL BOARD GAME APPARATUS

摘要

A mathematical game for play by two or more persons comprises a playing board divided into a series of squares, arranged in rows and columns, each square bearing a number indicia, and a set of playing pieces for each player. Each player piece in a set is marked with at least one number or a non-numeric symbol, at least one playing piece in each set having a non-numeric symbol. Each set of playing pieces is identical to every other set with respect to the number and marking of pieces. The playing pieces are moved from one numbered square to another in a competitive manner, a piece being able to land only in those squares numbered with an integer multiple of at least one of the numerals on the playing piece. The playing piece containing the non-numeric symbol is free to land on any square. Pieces are captured when either: (1) the piece of another player located in the same row or column as the captured piece is moved to the square occupied by the captured piece; or (2) the captured piece was sought to be moved to a square whose number is not an integer multiple of a number on the captured piece, and the incorrect move is challenged by another player.
