Title: Board game

Abstract: A board game apparatus utilizes a playing board upon which a multiplicity of playing piece positions are delineated in interconnected fashion to form a number of alternative paths of playing piece movement. A prescribed number of playing pieces are provided for each player, and each playing piece has a particular value number of space movements associated therewith. The players in turn designate a particular one of their pieces for movement, which is then moved the exact value number of playing piece positions associated with that piece. If confronted with another playing piece blocking the path of movement, the selected piece is halted and the confronting piece continues movement along the path a number of player positions equal to the balance of the value number of the selected piece over the number of player positions that the selected piece had already been moved. The pieces may thereby be moved to exert "pressure" on other playing pieces to move those other playing pieces a distance proportional to the unused portion of the move of the pressure piece initiating movement.
