Abstract
A board game apparatus includes a board having first and second alternate travel paths which have different numbers of movement steps and which are coincident in certain portions thereof. The players of the game evaluate and assess the relative risks and merits in selecting the alternate paths of movement during play of the game. Each traverse around the board corresponds to a college semester. A manual is provided with special entries indicating bonuses and penalties which correspond to typical college experiences. The bonuses and penalties are divided according to classification: freshman, sophomore, etc., with different bonuses and penalties being indicated depending upon the particular path of travel selected. The object of the game is to graduate having the highest grade point average.
