ABSTRACT:
A board game apparatus is provided in which a playing board has marked spaces defining a playing path. The spaces have assigned values. Penalties and rewards are provided to the players according to their position on the playing path. A first chance member is operable by the players for determining the number of spaces to be traversed by a playing token. A second chance member is associated with one of the spaces. The second chance member comprises an upstanding member defining a plurality of generally vertical apertures. One or more of the apertures are adapted to be plugged and closed, and an insert is receivable in the apertures. A player whose token is moved to the second chance member is required to place one of the inserts into one of the apertures, with at least one of the apertures being closed by one of the plugs. If the insert falls completely through an unplugged aperture, the player is permitted to continue in the game. If the insert remains in a plugged aperture, the player is penalized, as by being eliminated from the game.
