Abstract

A method for one or more players to pursue a game objective using a game apparatus is disclosed. The game apparatus comprises at least two sets of first tokens, a set of second tokens (D) and (L) and a game field provided with a plurality of token spaces. There is one set of the first tokens for each player and each set consists of two kinds of first token (A) and (C) with each representing a function that in relation to the players is the antisymmetric opposite of the other. For the set of second tokens (D) and (L), each second token represents a function that in relation to the players is the symmetric opposite of the other. The game objective is for a player to achieve an arrangement of one or more tokens in the token spaces of the game field that represents a particular function; and the method comprises a sequence of steps in which each player in turn identifies a first token (C) and a first token (A) to be placed in (+) different token spaces so as to effect a change in function (>) in each of these token spaces selected from: C + A > L; A + C > D; L + C > C; L + A > A; D + C > C; and D + A > A and then moves to change the tokens in each token space accordingly A kit for playing the above defined game is disclosed. The kit comprises (a) the above described game apparatus with rules providing that the game objective is for a player to achieve an arrangement of one or more tokens in the token spaces of the game field that represents a particular function following a sequence of moves. The sequence of moves in which each player in turn identifies a first token (C) and a first token (A) to be placed in (+) different token spaces so as to effect a change in function (>) in each of these token spaces selected from: C + A > L; A + C > D; L + C > C; L + A > A; D + C > C; and D + A > A and then moves to change the tokens in each token space accordingly. An electronic gaming device is disclosed for use by one or more players playing the above defined game. The electronic gaming device comprises (a) display means for displaying the above described game apparatus; (b) a game controller adapted to receive two instructions from each player regarding placement of first tokens in token spaces in the game field, one of which is for a first token (C) and the other for a first token (A) and (c) data processing means for converting the instructions into output for the display means such that functions are displayed in token spaces according to the following play sequences: C + A > L; A + C > D; L + C > C; L + A > A; D + C > C; and D + A > A and then moves to change the tokens in each token space accordingly.
