ABSTRACT:
A method of playing a board game is operative with a game board having a plurality of locations defining a predetermined path of progression thereon, a plurality of Connection cards representing predetermined political connections, a plurality of Payoff cards designating predetermined illegal payoffs, a plurality of game pieces and a plurality of game currency bills. A portion of the locations on the game board are various possessory real-estate locations which can be owned by game players, and preferably another portion of the locations are Connection locations which require game players to randomly select Connection cards. A portion of the real-estate locations are developable locations which can be developed by game players through the use of game currency, political connections and/or illegal payoffs. For use of the board game apparatus in accordance with the method, game players advance their game pieces along the path of progression and eventually purchase and develop the real-estate locations through the use of game currency, political connections and illegal payoffs. Game players are randomly penalized for making illegal payoffs and are required to make rental payments when their game pieces land on real-estate locations owned by other game players.
