Abstract A board game which simulates olympic athletic events by utilizing a pair of dice for selecting one of a set of cards which determines the number of points scored for a particular athletic event. The game includes a playing board having a plurality of concentrically increasing scoring areas, one of which represents a penalty area and the other of which represents multiplier areas. A series of event playing stations are formed peripherally around the playing board with each playing station identified by a particular athletic event. A set of cards is associated with each of the event playing stations. Each card within a set has one side identified with the particular athletic event of the associated station. The other side of each card within the set contains a particular playing condition and point achievement score. A pair of dice is used to select one of the cards from a particular set. Scoring sheets are utilized for tabulating the scores. The events are listed on each one of the scoring sheets.
A board game comprising: a playing board having a plurality of concentrically increasing scoring areas substantially covering the entire playing board, each scoring area uniquely identifiable from the others; a series of event playing stations formed peripherally about said playing board overlying portions of said scoring areas, each playing station identified by the particular event to be played; a set of cards associated with each of said playing stations for serving as a first chance determining means; a playing piece for each player, all the playing pieces being simultaneously positionable within a single playing station; a standard pair of dice for serving as a projectile to land onto particular scoring areas and simultaneously serving as a chance determining means for selecting a particular card from within each set of the first chance determining means; scoring sheets having all of the events tabulated thereon.
