The present invention is a strategy and/or educational board game in which
2-4 players distribute game pieces, e.g., marbles or other tokens,
according to a particular sequence among a common field of play, with the
object of the game being to be the first player to collect a
predetermined number of game pieces in a "home" location. Each player is
assigned a single home location for their exclusive use; the remainder of
the field of play is commonly shared by all players. In a preferred
embodiment, a spinner is spun by each player, with the spinner stopping
and pointing at a number or graphic. The player must locate the same
number or graphic on the field of play to identify the starting point for
a move. Once the number or graphic is located, game pieces sitting in a
well associated with the number or graphic are picked up by the player,
and the player chooses movement in either a clockwise or
counter-clockwise direction. The user then distributes the game pieces,
one-by-one, in each well encountered in the selected direction. The game
pieces are not associated with any player, that is, all of the same
pieces are usable by all of the players when the pieces are in play.
