Abstract
A game of chance in which the object of each player is to gain the least amount of weight. Each player is given a menu containing six pages of daily activities, each activity having twenty-four numbered choices. These choices have a listing of foods and/or activities which assign plus or minus calories. Serial chance selections are made by the players which designate one of the numbered choices, thereby containing a calorie value for each activity. As each player gains a predetermined weight value, he is eliminated, and the winner of the game is the longest remaining player. The status of an individual player with an overweight score is indicated by additional displays.
