ABSTRACT:
An airline travel board game for use by at least two players to accumulate bonus mileage and monetary status, and a method of playing the same. The airline travel board game includes a game board (10) having a playing surface (12) provided with a plurality of interconnected spaces (18), some of the spaces bearing the names of geographical locations and some bearing directional commands. A plurality of instruction cards (70, 76, and 82) associated with certain of the spaces of the game board, in conjunction with the spaces bearing directional commands, may dictate a change in a player's position on the game board, a change in a player's monetary status and/or a change in a player's total bonus mileage. Thus, real life trials and tribulations associated with air travel are simulated during play. Preferably, the players consecutively take turns until one player has accumulated a predetermined amount of bonus mileage required to win the game.
