Abstract
A board game is provided which involves competition between the players to achieve a particular status level, the first player to achieve the particular status level being the winner. The board has marked squares which constitute a path extending around its periphery. Status cards, Bank cards and Jet Set cards are provided, each with specific instructions and each designating status points gained or lost by the selection of the particular card. Gold Street areas, each including a group of exclusive retail stores, are provided on the board, and when a particular store in such an area is entered, the needle on a status wheel is spun which refers the player to a number in an indexed booklet which, in turn, designates the purchase to be made in the particular store. Status cars may be purchased at car dealerships within the Gold Street areas, and these may be traded in for higher status cars.
