ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a game apparatus in the form of a chance device for use by a plurality of players in combination with a game board. The game board includes a central area and a playing area peripheral thereto with the playing area being defined by a path along which playing pieces are advanced by players of the game. In the preferred form, the playing path is an endless path defined by a series of playing stations. The central area of the board provides a support surface for the chance device. The chance device constitutes a receiver or depository device, preferably in the form of a wishing well or like structure, for receiving value or barter items, such as play coins, deposited therein through an opening. The depository device is partitioned to include a plurality of hidden compartments for receiving the value items at random from the opening. Each of the compartments has a movable wall portion for gaining access to the interior thereof for retrieving items as a reward during play of the game, as determined by a player's move or other rules of the game.
