Abstract:

A board game having playing fields arranged in rows and columns, each playing field having a hole adapted to receive four types of playing pieces. The first type of playing piece comprising a peg of a length equal to the depths of the holes; the second type of playing piece being shorter than the first and the third type of playing piece having a length equal to the difference in length between the first and second types of playing pieces. The fourth type of playing piece comprises a sphere of diameter equal to the difference in length between the first and second type of playing piece. Board holes are of sufficient depth to naturally obscure playing pieces of the fourth type in darkness when positioned on the bottom of the holes. The tops of playing pieces of the first and second type project above, below or even with the board surface depending on the number of the fourth type of playing pieces already in the hole. Playing pieces of the first and second type display a circular area of color when positioned even with the board surface or display differing color bands on the sides when projected above the board surface.
