Strategy War Game

Abstract

A strategy war game is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a game board is covered by sixty-four squares forming a checkered pattern. Each game piece of a first set of game pieces is adapted to subsequently move only within a first set of squares representing land. Each game piece of a second set of game pieces is adapted to subsequently move only within a second set of squares representing water. Each game piece of a third set of game pieces is adapted to subsequently move within a third set of squares representing air. The strategy war game further includes a point system, wherein a first player is given a predetermined number of points for capturing a game piece during a turn by moving a game piece of the first player to a square occupied by the game piece of the second player.

Problems solved by technology

A shortcoming of the prior art strategy games is that the games may be too easy to master or provide limited moves so that the game provides little challenge to the players.

Although Chess provides more game pieces and more complicated moves than Checkers, Chess uses outdated game pieces and may be too complicated for casual players.
