ABSTRACT:
A board game for a plurality of players including the following. A playing board has an endless course thereon for being progressively and periodically traversed in turn by each player during play of the game and comprises a plurality of serially connected playing spaces having indicia thereon for individually identifying respective spaces and the affect of game play upon a player occupying such spaces during traversing of the course. Certain of the contiguous spaces are designated by the indicia for defining distinguishable groups of predetermined numbers of the spaces and providing for the opportunity of acquisition of the spaces of the groups upon a player first occupying a respective one of the spaces of the groups for progressively accumulating all or part of the spaces of the respective groups for differently affecting game play upon another player subsequently occupying any one of the acquired spaces. A plurality of playing pieces is provided for individual use by the players in traversing the course on the board. A device is operable by the players in sequence for randomly determining the number of the spaces to be traversed per turn by the playing piece of each player. A plurality of transparent overlays are provided for respective acquisition by the players and for being placed over predetermined numbers of the spaces of the groups upon acquisition of the spaces of the groups and the overlay for further differently affecting game play upon another player subsequently occupying any of the acquired spaces with the overlay thereon, while allowing visual observation of the indicia on the spaces through the transparent overlay thereon.
