Abstract
A method of playing a board game, where the game comprises a play surface and multi-segmented playing pieces representing characters adapted to stand upright on the surface. Each character is comprised of a stack of segments. By progressively removing segments from the bottom of the stack upwardly, the character appears to be sinding deeper and deeper below the surface, as for example, quicksand or a body of water. As segments are added back to the bottom of the stack in the reverse order, the character appears to emerge upwardly again. Portions of adjacent segments interconnect to maintain the segments in the desired stacked condition and relative orientation to one another.
