ABSTRACT:
A portable board game simulating a street for competitive play by from two to six players. The playing surface includes a series of twelve sequentially numbered landing spaces which must be progressively negotiated by having a playing piece successfully land totally within each numbered space in sequential order to complete the game. The board includes a series of obstacles of the type found on a city street or highway which are positioned to interfere with a game piece as it is moved from one numbered space to a succeeding numbered space. The obstacles include, for example, a raised manhole cover plate, a speed bump, a pair of barrier cones and at least two pot holes which form depressions or recesses in the surface of the board similar to potholes formed in a roadway. The board also includes a centrally positioned "dead box" which serves as a penalty zone, penalizing a player whose game piece lands in the dead box. The game piece is moved by striking with a finger or with a striking object such as a stick.
