ABSTRACT:
A family vacation board game, designed to encourage family unity and cooperation and to help parents help children learn life skills, such as good decision making, comprises a board having a start space connected by game spaces to an end space. One player is chosen as banker. An amount of start-up currency is distributed to players and to the game banker. After family members choose a vacation designation and the total cost of the vacation, the play begins. Each player moves a representative token a number of spaces, determined by a throw of the dice, to be awarded or penalized according to play instruction presented on the game instruction spaces or according to instructions on a choice card given to a player landing on a choice card space. When all players reach the end space, they must determine if they have accumulated enough money to go on their dream vacation.
