ABSTRACT:
An exercise and nutritional game apparatus adapted to be played by a plurality of players operating in turn. The game apparatus includes a game board having a playing path defined by a plurality of contiguous spaces; a set of playing pieces; a pair of dice; a chance means for determining an exercise; a first plurality of cards each having printed thereon a nutritional question, a choice of possible answers, and a correct answer; a second plurality of cards each having printed thereon a number to reduce repetitions of a particular exercise; a third plurality of cards having printed thereon a junk food question, a choice of possible answers, and a correct answer; and a booklet with nutritional and junk food supplemental information and exercise descriptions. Play is conducted by advancing the playing piece along the playing path for the number of spaces determined by a throw of the dice. Various colors of the contiguous spaces determines various courses of action for the player which lands on a space. Those courses of actions include selecting an exercise to perform, selecting a nutritional question to answer, selecting a junk food question to answer, and selecting a card to reduce repetitions of an exercise. Weight is symbolically gained when exercises are not fully performed as directed and when nutritional and junk food are answered incorrectly. Weight is symbolically lost when exercises are fully performed and when questions are answered correctly. Weight may be lost or gained by wagering units of weight on whether a player will fully perform a given exercise. The winner of the game is the player that finishes with the least amount of weight gain.
