ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a method of playing a board game. A game board is provided having a base position, a home position and at least one track divided into segments, a plurality of the segments forming the apexes of a polygon. A first player is provided a marker initially positioned at the base position. A random number generator is used to produce a number which indicates the incremental movement of the marker along the track. The random number generator is actuated to produce a first number. The marker is moved from the base position along the track segments towards the home position. The random number generator is actuated to produce a second number. The marker is moved from the track segments to a first apex of the polygon. The random number generator is actuated to produce a third number. The marker is moved to a second apex of the polygon. The random number generator is actuated to produce a fourth number. The marker is moved from the second apex along the track segments toward the home position.
