A board game apparatus comprising, in combination, a game board, the game board including a top planar surface, the top planar surface including a discontinuous single path, the path defined by a series of directional spaces, and the game board including a central space positioned medially of the perimeter path, the central space including a respective first, second, and third space to receive a respective first, second, and third space to receive first, second, and third deck, each deck having cards posing predetermined questions for response by individual players, and the directional spaces directing players to select a card from a respective deck from each of the respective first, second, or third deck space, and a perimeter path including a start space and a finish space, and at least one dice member for directing movement about the perimeter path, and at least one token means for each player for indicating position of each respective player about the perimeter path, and for indicating correctness of a response relative to questions posed by the cards of the respective decks positioned within each respective first, second, and third space, wherein each token includes a transparent base, and an opaque head, the opaque head rotatably mounted relative to the transparent base, the opaque head including an axle coaxially aligned with an axis defined by the opaque head and transparent base, and a battery mounted within the transparent base, and a first indicator light defined by a first coloration positioned within the transparent base, and a second indicator light defined by a second contrasting coloration relative to the first coloration positioned within the transparent base, and contact means for selectively effecting electrical communication between the battery and said first indicator light or said second indicator light selectively.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
