Abstract A game arrangement in which a printed board or sheet is provided with a row of playing spaces around the margin to form a continuous playing path along which playing pieces are moved with the amount of each move being determined by casting dice. The playing pieces consist of a primary playing piece for each player, each primary piece being a different color, and secondary playing pieces adapted to be placed on the primary playing pieces to travel therewith along the playing path. The playing spaces provide for rewards and penalties when a primary playing piece lands thereon and includes color coated spaces which offer particular rewards when a primary playing piece of a corresponding color lands thereon. When secondary playing pieces are resting on primary playing pieces, the value of certain reward spaces is increased. Special playing pieces are utilized which are associated with particular playing spaces, and a stack of instruction cards is also utilized from which a card is drawn by a player whose primary playing piece lands on a particular playing space.
A game apparatus comprising a rectangular game board having a movement path for playing pieces imprinted thereon around the four marginal edge portions of the board, said movement path divided into separate indicia spaces bearing arbitrary indicia designations of a varying nature around the path, said designations indicative of rewards and penalties for players of the game, some of the indicia spaces along the path bearing color designations, plural primary playing pieces for each player of the game individually colored to correspond to the color designations of said indicia spaces, each primary playing piece recessed in its top, A corresponding number of secondary playing pieces for each player of the game individually colored to match the color of one primary playing piece, one secondary playing piece nestable in the recess of a primary piece, a set of dice to be used by each player in succession for determining the number of indicia spaces on said movement path a primary playing piece is moved on any one play, a group of monetary tokens for payment of rewards by players whose primary playing pieces are advanced to indicia spaces whose indicia calls for a reward.
