Abstract
The game comprises a tray containing a plurality of removable tiles which may be arbitrarily placed in the tray. Two players are each provided with individual pieces which can be placed on tiles after the tiles have been arbitrarily placed in the tray. Each player takes a turn in moving one of his pieces from one tile to a next adjacent tile. The first move of each player is arbitrary as to which adjacent tile is chosen to move his piece. The second move of each player and every alternate move thereafter is a 'forced' move determined by a direction resulting when the piece is placed on the tile. In other words, each tile has an assigned direction which is hidden from the player but which becomes indicated when the player places his piece on the tile. The players alternate turns and attempt to reach a center tile which constitutes a winning point.
