Abstract:

A board game called "Airborne" includes a game board having an upper surface, wherein a square pattern of 64 boxes is contained on the upper surface. The latticework of upraised strips on the said game board form the perimeter of each box or guide-line square, wherein the individual forms can be placed. The said individual forms, once placed, so as to cover the upper surface of the game board, form the total playing surface of different-sized square and rectangle forms. Innumerable different playing surfaces or patterns can be created as a result of the individual forms being juxtaposed and then some or all of the aforesaid forms can be removed and replaced by different forms and/or some or all of the forms can be removed and replaced by the same forms in different juxtaposition. Two sets of eight movable playing units are contained on and move on the playing surface of square and rectangle forms, wherein the movable units engage and capture each other. All eight units on one end of the game board are white in color and all eight units on the opposite end of the game board are black in color; all sixteen movable units are known as ground units.
