Abstract
Abstract This game is designed for entertainment fun and consists of a game board, a multiple number of playing pieces shaped like musicians and their instruments, a multiple number of discs that receive flags with music note symbols, tokens, cards, and a die. The game board consists of two separate paths, one representing the life of a rock musician and the other representing the position of a record on the charts. The winner of the game is the first player to advance their disc to the number 1 space. The disc may be advanced by completing a circuit of the outer path with the token or by collecting a specified number of flags which are placed in the disk.
