ABSTRACT:
An educational and recreational game for teaching players the engaging and appealing hobby or vocation of genealogy with an object to inspire players subsequently to trace their own real-life ancestors and to preserve a record of their family lineage for posterity. The game includes a multi-sided playing board having a continuous peripheral course divided into a pluality of interconnected playing spaces. Additional game apparatus includes a family tree of genealogy chart with slotted and color-coded stepped lines on which to record family ancestors; player pieces of different color and/or form; a set of male and female "Ancestor" cards playable from dual trays and adapted for particular placement in the appropriate slotted lines of the chart to be arranged in a predetermined manner to try to complete a player's chart; a set of "Grandmother's Attic" cards also preferably playable from a dual tray, which cards have instruction indicia thereon to help direct play of the playing pieces as well as of the "Ancestor" cards; and a chance controlled device to determine the number of spaces a player moves his piece around the peripheral course. The spaces have varied indicia some of which further direct the play of the game responsive to a player landing thereon. The game object is for each player to try to complete his family tree or genealogy chart before the others, from the fictitious ancestors named on the male and female "Ancestor" cards; said cards bearing certain vital statistics of the ancestor. The chart and "Ancestor" cards further have correlative indicia to facilitate correct correlating of the "Ancestor" cards with the slotted lines of the genealogy chart.
