Embodiment Construction

1. Game Apparatus

[0019]The apparatus of the game consists of a playing surface (FIGS. 1, 3) and a plurality of game elements (FIGS. 2, 3). The playing surface, or “board”, which structurally should be nineteen inches square and flat to conform to standard apparatus of this type, will consist of a grid of cells (1), hexagonal in shape. The individual hexagons should measure nine-tenths of an inch from each parallel face. Overall the grid should be roughly hexagonal in shape and consist of a width of about twenty cells. Sporadically placed throughout the grid, inhabiting individual cells, are indicia representative of unique function. These indicia are of three different varieties herein called: “Base System” (2), “Extra System” (3), and “Wormhole” (4). Base System and Extra System cells, referred to collectively as “Systems”, will typically have corresponding identifying text printed near them on the board.

[0020]Game elements should be slightly smaller than the cells of the board wit...

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The invention described and entailed within pertains to a method of playing a strategy game whereby players interact with game pieces on a map towards the purpose of conflicting with their opponents' game pieces until such time as a plurality of objectives has been met.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]One novel feature of this invention as a method of playing a strategy game is its failure to utilise a random result generator, such as a playing die, deck of cards, spinner, or electronic device, for the purpose of resolving conflict or determining the movement of game pieces. Instead, game mechanics rely on individual players' skill and predetermined, intrinsic values respectively. This can be found in many puzzle and mind games such as the antique and ubiquitous “Chess” but also in war games such as U.S. Pat. No. 1,160,348 to Watkins, U.S. Pat. No. 2,313,303 to Szatrow, and U.S. Pat. No. 3,998,463 to Zumchak. ...
