ABSTRACT:
A game emphasizing the relationship between food consumption and exercise in weight control includes a game board for each player with a first series of playing positions representing calories gained and a second series of playing positions representing calories lost. A player draws a card from a pack of game cards and places it in an area in front of the word "EAT" printed on a portion of the game board. If the card drawn has a "F" printed on its face, the word "FEAT" is spelled out. Otherwise the word "EAT" remains. Dice are then thrown by the player. If the word "EAT" remains, by reference to a food portion of a chart printed on the game board, the dice count is related to a corresponding number of moves taken along the first series of playing positions. If the work "FEAT" has been spelled out, by reference to a feat portion of the chart, the dice count is related to a number of moves along the second series of playing positions. If the second finishing position is reached before the first finishing position, weight has been lost by a player. Otherwise, weight has been gained by the player. The player having lost the greatest amount of weight is the winner.
