pGame is a board game from an idea in SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN ~1967

pGame is a board game in which one of the 3 symbols (See screenshot 1) is placed in adjacent squares alternately by the players.

Each symbol forms 2 tracks thus when a symbol is played, the tracks on the board will be extended and the colours of the tracks of the symbol just played will change to RED, GREEN, or BLUE.

The MAIN track is shown in BLUE, and SECONDARY tracks are GREEN or RED.

Any SECONDARY track that touches the edge of the board or the opposite end of the starting symbol is coloured RED. All other SECONDARY tracks are coloured GREEN.

The idea of the game is to extend the MAIN (Blue) Track, using GREEN SECONDARY tracks if desired but avoiding RED SECONDARY tracks.

The player who is forced to take the MAIN track to the edge of the board either directly or via a RED secondary track loses the game.
