ABSTRACT:
A board game device includes a playing board which defines a playing surface upon which a plurality of markers are arranged in a pattern. First and second distinguishable playing pieces are also locatable upon the playing surface at any of the locations at which a marker is locatable as well as upon unique additional playing positions. A chance selection device determines whether a player must utilize either the first or second playing piece in that turn and an additional chance selection devices determines the amount of movement undertaken by the selected playing piece. Movement of the first playing piece along the playing surface enables the player to collect the various markers along its path within the playing piece. This is accomplished by engaging the markers such that the markers are forced through a valved slot in one surface of the playing piece. The first playing piece also has a pivoted foot which enables a portion of the playing piece to be pivoted away from a marker received within the foot and then pivoted downwardly to force the marker into the playing piece. The second playing piece is capable of "capturing" the first playing piece upon coincident occupation of the same playing position.
