Abstract
An improved action game. Each player can see the other player's piece only when it is in the play area; he is given an indication of the position of his own piece at all times. A player scores a point if his piece catches the other player's piece in the play area. The pieces automatically change shape depending on whether a player is the first or second to enter the play area, and automatic scoring counters are also provided. Each player piece is moved under manual control, a variable number of positions by a ratchet gear drive. The players alternate in moving their pieces.
