ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a method of playing a board game. The game is played on a board having a pathway in the outline of a cruciform with equal length arms extending outwardly from a common center and disposed at 90 degree angles around the board. At the end of each arm is an individual player's home position with four positions, one for each of his markers. Each player's home positions and markers are a different color and two teams are formed with the players opposite each other being partners. When the player rolls a one or a six he is permitted to leave the home position to the start position with one of his markers. On each successive roll of one or six another marker may be moved out of the home position. A six entitles the player to another roll. At the intersection of the arms are safe positions wherein a player cannot be disturbed. If a player occupies the same position as an opponent other than a safe position the opponent's marker returns to its home position. The first pair of partners to advance all four markers around the pathway counterclockwise and return their individual markers to the four positions designated within the arms adjacent the individual partner's home positions wins the game.
