ABSTRACT:
An electrical board game is disclosed which includes a track described on a foldable game board and having starting and finishing points and dividing into multiple parallel paths at various points along the track.
The players moves a players piece along one of the multiple paths and the game detects which path was chosen by the use of electrically conductive circuitry on the board in conjunction with a conductive players piece.
The game includes the ability of the players to randomly designate which of the parallel paths are safe and which are danger through the use of conductive switching elements placed on the game board in a physical orientation which determines the designation of the paths.
An electronic sound generator is provided which is placed on the board and electrically responds to the players choice of path and the designation of that path, and generates either a safe or a danger sound.
