ABSTRACT:
A board game whose gameboard design is composed of an endless path of purchasable blocks representing the major national American holidays along with other common, traditional seasonal occurences, pursuits, and activities as well as certain special categories. The concept of the game is to acquire as many of the business services, and activities type blocks as one can. Each player is provided with a differently color coded player marker. Each player, in turn, moves their player marker along the path of blocks according to the roll of a standard pair of dice. Some of these blocks each display two alternative directions. When a player's marker lands on such a block, the direction to be followed is determined by rolling another die having each of its faces marked with one of the letters A and B corresponding to the alternative directions. The object of the game is to win by forcing opponents to retire from the game by mortgaging all their businesses, properties, and services along with the depletion of all their money. The last remaining player is the winner. The game also includes play money, destiny cards, ownership cards, a plurality of sets of color coded property markers placeable on the purchasable blocks for indicating ownership and a set of instructions.
