ABSTRACT:
A board game is designed around the theme of gaining and losing weight and counting calories and includes a game board having a playing surface defining a travel path with a plurality of separate stations along the path. Manually movable, hollow playing pieces styled as obese persons are provided for movement around the stations on the travel path. Each playing piece has associated therewith a set of stations on the game board representing restaurants and a plurality of weight elements are provided to be inserted into the open mouth of the hollow, playing pieces. Chance dice are provided for determining the number of stations along the path that each playing piece is moved during a turn and for determining a number of weight elements that are to be inserted into the open mouth of a playing piece. On the travel path, another player may be challenged to a weigh in and the playing piece having the heaviest weight then must discharge the weight elements and register the number in a cumulative score. The player ending up with the least number of calories or weight elements is the winner.
