Abstract
A novel game apparatus developed as a variation of a tic-tac-toe theme employs a base having multiple sets of three-dimensional, diamond shaped matrices and two different types of playing pieces. Each playing piece has a pair of different symbols such as an 'X' and 'O' on an upper surface and the pieces are played by placement over pairs of playing spaces on the matrices. Each matrix may be color coded to distinguish from adjacent matrices. One type of playing piece is diamond shaped and is adapted for placement only within the boundaries of a single matrix. The other type of playing piece is angle shaped and is adapted for placement only across a boundary line between adjacent matrices. The 'X' and 'O' symbol of the playing piece is adapted to cover a pair of play spaces on the base. The player to complete the greatest number of rows of three of the same symbols wins the game.
