ABSTRACT:
A theme-oriented parlor game and method comprising a game board assembly, title indicia, tokens and movement intiators. The game board assembly has a peripheral region and a central region both subdivided into a plurality of locations. The locations of the peripheral region are grouped into company locations, draw card locations and street locations. The locations of the central region are grouped into an option area and a gridded central business area. As the game progresses, each participant advances his or his player piece from location-to-location about the game board from the peripheral region through the central region and back to the peripheral region. During such travels, the participants purchase companies and tokens representing the companies which are selectively positioned on the gridded central business area. When a player's piece lands on an opponent's token, that player pays a fee for services. The game continues, with each player building and expanding on his or her companies, until all of the locations within the central business area are occupied.
