ABSTRACT:
A board game apparatus is provided for expanding the players' vocabulary and increasing their knowledge and wisdom of the world by correctly responding to relationships by drawing analogies between people, events, places, things, and concepts. The analogy board game includes a game board having a central main walkway and eight subject major walkways arranged about and connected to the main walkway. Each subject major walkway denotes one respective subject major. The relationships and responses are contained in eight respective analogy relationship and response books, with each book containing three levels of relationships and responses for one particular subject major, and the subject major of each book corresponds to the subject major of each subject major walkway. Players traverse the game board, entering each subject major walkway and collecting pass cards after they have correctly answered all questions while traversing the subject major walkways. Player token travel is in any direction on the game board. After each player completes all subject major walkways and passes a final exam question related to the subject major walkway from which the player started, the players move their tokens to a graduation stage where a correct roll of the dice determines the winner.
