ABSTRACT:
A board game for encouraging adherence to a self-improvement program, particularly a diet. The game comprises a board depicting a path to a goal and a plurality of playing pieces for each of one or more players, the playing pieces representing stages of development or achievement in the self-improvement program. The playing pieces are adapted to indicate the current positions of the players progressing along the path, and means are provided for rewarding the players for progress toward the goal. Progress toward the dieter's goal is indicated by use of human form playing pieces of progressively slimmer appearance, thereby reinforcing the player's will to succeed. Hazard and benefit spaces are provided along the path, as well as means for soliciting support from others, and for directing the players' frustration toward constructive ends.
