A neat, all-plastic game from Gabriel in their line of "Hi-Q" games from the late 70s. 2-players square off on a 6x6 grid onto which they place plastic arrows that can be positioned in several directions (left, right, up, down and diagonal). Subsequent pieces get placed in the space indicated by the preceding piece. The object of the game is to be the last player able to move. In other words, as soon as a player's way is blocked, the game ends.

This is a Hi-Q game.
