Abstract
A board game comprising: (i) a board (13) defining a playing area (24) divided into two halves (20, 22) each of which is subdivided into regions (1-12) each bearing an indicia; (ii) a playing piece for movement between the regions; (iii) means for randomly determining to which region the playing piece is moved; (iv) means for randomly determining the outcome of an event associated with the region on which the playing piece is situated; and (v) rules determining how two opposing players may move the playing piece in an attempt to achieve a specified aim. The random determining means preferably comprises a plurality of dice and the rules specify how many dice a player uses in a given situation to determine the outcome of an event or movement of the playing piece. The game may also include means for recording and displaying parameters selected by a player used for biasing the outcome of certain events.
