ABSTRACT:
A game features competitive sports in track and field, water, winter and arena events. The apparatus comprises a playing board, at least four two-piece magnetic playing pieces, five sets of playing cards, a die, a spinner and game instructions. The playing board comprises a two-dimensional area having a zoned section around the perimeter thereof upon which players advance among a plurality of contiguous spaces, the inscription for each station providing a random distribution of penalties or bonuses in advancing play or in calculating score and instructions to the players including directions diverting play into the major event. It has a spinner located centrally. The remaining area is divided in quadrants, each having a course for play and an area for an associated deck of cards. Each event quadrant contains playing stations arranged in a path from start to finish. Event cards identify a sport and set values for winning medals. A special card may direct a player's next move, grant a bonus or impose a penalty. Playing pieces have two parts, a pedestal and a figurine. The parts are held together magnetically. The figurine is used alone in advancing in a sports event, the combined pedestal and figurine is for advancing in the principal course at the perimeter zone. While playing an event the pedestal marks the last space in player's progress along the perimeter course for player's return thereto on conclusion of the event. The object of the game is to win by scoring the most points in a fixed time or to win by being the first player to score a set number of points.
