ABSTRACT:
A board game includes (a) on a playing board a series of lettered boxes arranged as a playing course between START and FINISH boxes, and (b) a key which relates the indicia (e.g. numerals, colours, or pictures) appearing on the respective faces of a die to respective categories of things, objects, people, features, etc. The rules of the game require that a player's token standing on a given box can move to the next box only when the player has thrown the die, consulted the key to determine therefrom the category related to the number, colour, picture, or other indicium on the die face which is upwardly exposed by the throw of the die, and named a specific variety within that category, which variety has a name beginning with the letter of the box on which the player's token is currently standing.
