ABSTRACT:
A board gam simulating the construction of a dwelling is disclosed. The game has a board with a sequence of spaces including free spaces, builder/banker spaces, inspection sticker spaces, chance spaces, question spaces, penalty spaces, and a closing space. Players move three-dimensional game tokens representing homes of different styles around the board. Players take turns moving, their movement being governed by the roll of dice. Players receive money from the bank and make payments to the builder by landing on builder/banker spaces. Additional money can be earned by correctly answering questions relating to dwelling construction when a player lands on a question space. Financial gains and losses are incurred by landing on chance and penalty spaces. Players' progress through the construction process is tracked on a rotary card holder of plot plan cards, a card representing a stage of construction when the previous stage has been completed. The first player to complete all stages and land on the closing space wins the game.
