Title: Pre-programmable obstacle positioning electronic game

Abstract: An electronic game comprising a board provided with plural discrete positions including a predetermined target position. A plurality of light sources is associated with the board, each light source being associated with one of the board positions. A light source indicates the position of the player on the board. Plural manually operable direction switches advance the position of the player via a direction logic gating circuit in combination with plural up/down counters and a binary to decimal decoder. A programmable board provided with plural obstacle positions correlated to the positions of the playing board prevents the advance of the player to preselected board positions via an obstacle check circuit, an initiate obstacle encounter gate, and a three bit counter.
