ABSTRACT:
A board game which allows players to travel back in time to uncover the many lives they may have lived. The game is divided into four periods of history, namely, Ancient Times, The Dark Ages, The Age of Kings and The Age of Industry. The players travel backwards in time, while attempting to accumulate wealth and treasures, and to avoid specific hazards and pitfalls. The first player to reach "Nirvana" brings the board play to an end. A "Book of Past Lives" is included in the game which lists and describes numerous past lives in ascending progression of desirability and significance, with each past life being equated to a different accumulated point score. All of the past lives described in the book are taken from actual history. Each player refers to the book for his "past life" as determined by the number of points he has accumulated when the first player reached Nirvana.
