ABSTRACT:
The game comprises a score sheet having directions printed thereon and a rotatable game board mounted on a base which also serves as a holder for the cards used in the game and as a blind selector for the playing pieces or employees as described below. The playing board is marked off on one side with a plurality of starting points and lines to career positions, each containing a plurality of peg receiving holes, which are reached by following the directions on the cards. The board is segmented into four quadrants and, dependant upon the number of players, one or more of such quadrants is turned over to expose the unmarked side thereof, the upward facing or marked sides always being on contiguous segments. A stack of cards, each carrying one of seven specific directions on its face is provided, with a total of seventeen cards per game piece to be used, such set of seventeen cards being made up of a specific number of each of the direction cards, the combination of cards and upwardly faced game board segments maintaining a viable ratio of job positions available to the number of game pieces being used.
