ABSTRACT:
A board-type game apparatus designed around the theme of a mythical man-animal known as "Big Foot" includes, in combination, a game board having a relatively large playing surface with a plurality of spaced apart playing piece stations or spaces thereon positioned at intervals along a travel path. One of the play spaces is designated as "Big Foot Home". A plurality of relatively small playing pieces are adapted for movement over the playing surface between the spaces along the travel path. One of the playing pieces is formed to resemble the mythical character "Big Foot" and includes a hollow base for containing a plurality of disks adapted to be removably contained in vertically stacked relation therein. Some of the disks have distinguishing indicia on one face, such as a foot print of "Big Foot" and some are plain. The disks are loaded in the hollow base in random order. The "Big Foot" playing piece includes a disk holding member which is releasable upon manual placement of the playing piece into pressure contact against the playing surface of the board to deposit the lower disk in the stack on a playing space when the pressure contact is terminated. A chance device such as a die is used for determining the number of spaces that the playing pieces are moved around the travel path and some playing spaces labeled "card" require the player to draw from a deck of cards provided for the game.
