ABSTRACT:
A pageant game and method of play. The pageant game comprises a game board, contestant pieces, chance device, vote tokens, bad marks, judge name cards, judge vote tokens, evening gown cards, swimsuit cards, talent cards and interview cards. The game board is marked with a game course, start circles, a vote tokens repository, a bad marks repository, judge name squares, a judge vote token repository associated with each judge name square, and card repositories. In the preferred embodiment, the game board was marked with an evening gown cards repository, a swimsuit cards repository, a talent cards repository, and an interview cards repository. The method of play includes the steps of determining an order of play using the chance device, advancing contestant pieces over the game course as determined by the chance device, following instructions on tiles contained within the game course, including drawing cards and following card instructions, and accumulating vote tokens, judge vote tokens, and bad mark tokens. A game may consist of a single round or multiple rounds. At the conclusion of play, the vote tokens, judge vote tokens and bad mark tokens are tallied for each contestant piece, and for each contestant piece twice the bad mark token count is subtracted from the combined vote token and judge vote token count, thus determining a game score for each contestant piece. The contestant piece having the highest game score is declared the winner.
