ABSTRACT:
A board game apparatus is provided having a game board on which a pathway is formed and over which playing pieces of respective players are incrementally advanced from a start point to an end point. The pathway includes a plurality of playing spaces serially distributed along the pathway between the start and end points with the playing pieces advanced to a playing space as determined by a random selection of the space to which a player is to advance his playing piece. Each playing space is defined by two discrete indicia that are each selected from respective ones of two indicia series that each include a plurality of diverse indicia with all indicia in each series being distinguishable from all indicia in the other series. The playing spaces are randomly interspersed along the pathway to avoid having same playing spaces disposed adjacent each other. Selection of the playing space to which a player's playing piece is to be advanced is determined by random manipulation of two independent selector devices that function to select one indicia out of each indicia series upon operation by a player, each selector device with a respective one of the indicia series.
