ABSTRACT:
A board game designed on a "Renaissance" theme wherein the object is to become the first player to reach the finish point (the Castle) as a result of winning a series of contests and challenges. The game includes a gameboard having a playing surface with a path of travel, a playing piece for each player of the game, a plurality of instruction cards, a chance device for determining the movement of the playing piece along said path and at least one simulated coin for determining the winner or loser of a contest or challenge. The path has a plurality of stations including contest stations having indicia representative of a contest or event whereby one player may challenge another player, and a plurality of stations having indicia representative of a location that when occupied by the playing pieces of two players allows the second player to challenge the first for the right to remain on the station. The winner of a challenge is determined by one player matching a coin with his opponent. At opposite ends of the path, there is a starting station and a finish station. The path is provided with a plurality of stations having indicia representative of a hazard whereby any playing piece landing thereon must return to the starting station. A plurality of instruction stations are positioned along the path directing that the player of any playing piece landing thereon pick a card from a set of instruction cards.
