Abstract: A game and method of playing the same for entertaining players. The game and method of playing the same includes a game board having a top surface, a bottom surface and perimeter edge. A game path is positioned on the game board. The game path comprises a plurality of game spaces, four of which are beginning spaces. A plurality of starting positions is positioned on the top surface of the game board and each is located generally adjacent to one of the beginning spaces. Each of a plurality of ending positions is associated with and positioned generally to the right of one of the beginning spaces. A plurality of sets of game pieces is used for moving about the game path. A deck of cards determines movement about the path by the game pieces.

Abstract: A self-sustaining power module (10) that combines the technologies of radioactivity with photovoltaic cells (12) to produce an electrical power supply having a useful life of over ten years. The radioactive source is a tritium capsule (22) that interfaces with the receptor surface of the photovoltaic cell (12). The capsule (22) has inside surfaces that are coated with a phosphor and is filled with tritium gas (26). The tritium gas produces beta particles that bombard the phosphor (18) causing the phosphor to luminesce and produce photons. The photons, in turn, strike and cause the photovoltaic cell (12) to generate a current flow that is then applied, via a pair of electrtodes (30), (32), to an external load. Also disclosed is a power pack (40) that houses a plurality of power modules (10). The power pack includes provisions that allow the power modules (10) to be electrically interconnected to provide various series, parallel and series-parallel power output combinations.
