ABSTRACT:
A game of chance and skill is provided utilizing a novel game board having multiple paths of varying length. Multiple decks of cards are provided each associated with a path on the game board. The number of cards from each deck in play is generally proportional to the length of each decks associated path. The structure of the game elements and methods of play is to provide relatively similar probabilities of movement along each of the paths. Linking elements between individual steps of each path lead to adjacent paths. Multiple possible courses of travel are defined by sequences of path steps and linking elements. In a preferred embodiment, the decks each have a number of cards which is a multiple of seven. Chance devices such as dice are also used. Various alternative methods are also provided including computer implementation of the game elements and methods of play.
