ABSTRACT:
A novel educational board game includes a game board bearing a plurality of separate circuitous pathways, each pathway preferably commencing and ending at a central reward space common to the pathways. Each pathway bears a plurality of separate transfer stations interspersed with penalty stations and one or more reward stations. The transfer stations of a given pathway bear individual matching indicia of other pathways. Individual player markers are moved progressively from station to station along the pathways, the number of steps or stations moved corresponding to the number thrown by dice. Rewards are given at reward stations and individualized tokens issued to represent the rewards.
Tally figures, preferably three-dimensional animal figures, such as birds, receive the tokens, such as feathers, as they are earned in progressing toward a successful conclusion of the game. Markers are transferrable at discretion between matching transfer stations in separate pathways to avoid penalty stations and to aid in acquiring needed tokens. Accordingly, the game requires concentration, thought and skill. Preferably, the game rewards represent attributes to fulfill basic needs, so that the game can be made highly educational and stimulating.
