ABSTRACT:
A board substrate supports a playing surface having differentiated markings. The markings include symbolic representations of the topography of a hypothetical community including buildings and a multiplicity of intersecting roadways. The roadways include markings which divide each roadway into a multiplicity of distinct, serially connected road segment intervals along which the gam pieces are moved. The markings further include a first class of indicia associated with some of the road segment intervals, defining a plurality of first traffic control parameters that influence the movement of the game pieces. A second class of indicia are marked on the playing surface and associated with some of the road segment intervals, for indicating the occurrence of an unusual event or traffic violation when occupied by a game piece. Upon landing on such second class of indicia, the player selects one of a multiplicity of event cards. The player who takes an event card is then asked a question pertaining to automotive safety or traffic laws. If the player answers incorrectly, points are lost in accordance with the particular event card selected.
